Marlon

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Marlon is a Labrador (mother) - Maremmano-mixed breed from Sardinia, born on 1.12.23. She does not come from the animal shelter. Unfortunately, her previous upbringing was not consistent enough. However, she is generally a well-behaved dog, friendly with both people and other dogs. She is full of energy, loves playing with fellow animals, and enjoys fetching balls or sticks. The proximity to her trusted people is of great importance. She is very intelligent, likes to play and snuggle, but needs her own space with a garden and exercise, as well as a job as a herding dog where she can do her "job." She is not a barker, only barking when necessary. She is very good on a loose leash, a relaxed car passenger, and loves to swim. Marlon has a shoulder height of approximately 65cm and weighs around 45kg. Trainers and experts confirm her gentle nature, she is compatible with both male and female dogs. Of course, she is microchipped, fully vaccinated, including against leishmaniasis, and is in perfect health, having been chemically neutered in February. Marlon is currently in the middle of Germany, north of Frankfurt, and is looking forward to a permanent new home. Contact:

Marlon ist ein Labrador (Mutter) - Maremmano-Mischling aus Sardinien, geboren am 1.12.23. Er stammt nicht aus der Tierschutzvermittlung. Leider war seine bisherige Erziehung nicht konsequent genug. Grundsätzlich ist er aber ein einwandfreier Hund, umgänglich mit Menschen und Hunden. Er ist voller Energie, spielt gerne mit Artgenossen und liebt es, Bälle oder Stöcke zu apportieren. Die Nähe zu seinen Bezugspersonen ist von großer Bedeutung. Er ist sehr intelligent, spielt und schmust gerne, braucht aber unbedingt seinen Freiraum mit Garten und Bewegung und eine Aufgabe für den Herdenschutzhund, wo er seinen „Job“ machen kann. Er ist kein Kläffer, bellt nur, wenn es erforderlich ist. Er lässt sich sehr gut an der lockeren Leine führen, ist ein entspannter Mitfahrer im Auto und schwimmt gerne. Marlon hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 65cm und wiegt ca. 45kg. Hundetrainer und Sachverständige bestätigen ihm ein sanftes Wesen, er ist mit Rüden und Hündinnen gut verträglich. Selbstverständlich ist er gechipt, verfügt er über alle Impfungen, inkl. Leishmaniose, und ist kerngesund, er wurde im Februar chemisch kastriert. Marlon befindet sich derzeit in der Mitte Deutschlands, nördlich von Frankfurt und freut sich auf ein dauerhaftes neues Zuhause. Kontakt: Peter Dombrowsky, 0151 11 05 15 93

About Marlon

What life with Marlon looks like

Marlon is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marlon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marlon?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marlon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marlon if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Marlon already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Marlon isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marlon and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
