Panda

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Panda is a 48cm, 16kg male dog who was found on the beach of Kremasti with his siblings. He is 8 years old and has a special bond with his caregiver, who he trusts enough to let her look into his mouth. Panda is not aggressive and gets along well with other dogs, but he does defend his food. He is a shy and anxious dog, but with time and patience, he has shown great progress. He is currently waiting for a forever home, and we hope that someone will give him the love and attention he deserves.

*Juli 2018 | 48cm | 16kg | Tierheim Rhodos Als wir im Shelter auf Rhodos waren, haben wir Panda kennengelernt. Während viele Hunde sofort auf Menschen zugehen, war Panda anders. Er war zurückhaltend, vorsichtig und sichtlich ängstlich. Und trotzdem konnte man etwas ganz Besonderes in ihm erkennen: Neugier. Er wollte dabei sein, wollte Vertrauen fassen – traute sich aber nicht. 🥺 Mit seiner Pflegerin hat Panda über die Zeit eine ganz besondere Beziehung aufgebaut. Bei ihr fühlt er sich sicher. Er lässt sich von ihr streicheln und vertraut ihr sogar so sehr, dass sie ihm ins Maul schauen darf. Für einen so ängstlichen Hund sind das riesige Schritte. 🥹 Panda ist nicht aggressiv und versteht sich gut mit seinen Artgenossen. Lediglich beim Futter zeigt er, dass er dieses für sich verteidigen möchte. Panda ist mittlerweile 8 Jahre alt. Gefunden wurde er gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern am Strand von Kremasti. Seine Geschwister hatten Glück – sie alle durften bereits in ein Zuhause ziehen. 🏡 Nur Panda wartet noch immer. 💔 Und genau das macht uns traurig. Denn wir wissen, dass es für ängstliche Hunde besonders schwer ist, gesehen zu werden. Sie drängen sich nicht in den Vordergrund. Sie springen niemandem vor Freude entgegen. Sie brauchen Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die bereit sind, hinter die Angst zu schauen. Aber Panda hat es verdient, dass jemand genau das tut. Wir wünschen uns so sehr, dass Panda nicht irgendwann auf sein ganzes Leben im Shelter zurückblicken muss. Er ist 8 Jahre alt – und er hat noch so viel Leben vor sich. Ein Leben mit einem sicheren Körbchen, festen Bezugspersonen, Ruhe und vor allem mit Menschen, die ihm zeigen, dass er endlich angekommen ist. Vielleicht braucht Panda länger als andere. Vielleicht wird er nie der Hund sein, der fröhlich auf jeden Menschen zuläuft. Aber vielleicht wird er irgendwann sein ganzes Herz einem einzigen Menschen schenken. Und was könnte wertvoller sein? 🧡 PAW HEROES e.V. E-Mail: info

About Panda

What life with Panda looks like

Panda is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Panda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Panda?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. og:image handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Panda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Panda if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — og:image 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 Panda 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 Panda 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 og:image early rather than rehoming privately; they know Panda 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.
