Adopt PHILIP

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Breed: mixed breed Project: Greece/Larissa Gender: male Age: born 06/2025 Size: growing Weight: approx. 7 kg (as of 11.10.2025) Other: very friendly with people and other dogs, very playful, to be placed in experienced hands due to the expected size Current Location: Animal shelter in Greece/Larissa PHILIP's Story Our colleagues in Greece found PHILIP – at the time a scared, severely underweight puppy – at the shelter's entrance. They couldn't leave him there and immediately took him into quarantine until he had all the necessary vaccinations. Since then, PHILIP has developed into a beautiful, cheerful young dog. He possesses a particularly loving and open character, plays enthusiastically with other dogs, and has already found two best friends at the shelter: MICKEY and JUNIOR. In their small "pack," he truly blossoms. This is our current assessment of PHILIP. How he will develop in the future – especially after moving into his new home – we of course cannot predict precisely. Just like we humans change and grow with new experiences, every animal will do the same. With loving, patient, and sensitive guidance, PHILIP will certainly become a wonderful, loyal, and cheerful companion. PHILIP is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for endo- and ectoparasites, and will be tested for Mediterranean diseases as well. Of course, we don't know which breeds are involved exactly. But given his original background, it is likely that the Greek German Shepherd (HSH) was also involved. And because PHILIP will grow to be a large dog, we are looking for a home for him in experienced hands, with a house and garden, where he will be safely and confidently cared for.

Rasse: Mischling Projekt: Griechenland/Larissa Geschlecht: männlich Alter: geb. 06/2025 Größe: groß werdend Gewicht: ca. 7 kg (Stand 11.10.2025) Sonstiges: sehr freundlich zu Menschen und anderen Hunden, sehr verspielt, aufgrund der zu erwartenden Größe in erfahrene Hände zu vermitteln Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Tierauffangstation in Griechenland/Larissa PHILIP’s Geschichte Unsere Kolleginnen in Griechenland fanden PHILIP – damals ein verängstigter, stark abgemagerter Welpe – vor den Toren des Shelters. Sie konnten ihn unmöglich dort zurücklassen und nahmen ihn sofort in Quarantäne auf, bis er alle nötigen Impfungen erhalten hatte. Seitdem hat sich PHILIP zu einem wunderschönen, fröhlichen jungen Hund entwickelt. Er besitzt einen besonders lieben und aufgeschlossenen Charakter, spielt begeistert mit anderen Hunden und hat bereits zwei beste Freunde im Shelter gefunden: MICKEY und JUNIOR. In ihrem kleinen „Rudel“ blüht er richtig auf. Das ist unsere momentane Einschätzung zu PHILIP. Wie er sich in Zukunft – besonders nach dem Einzug in sein neues Zuhause – entwickeln wird, können wir natürlich nicht genau vorhersagen. Jedes Tier, genau wie wir Menschen, verändert sich und wächst mit neuen Erfahrungen. Mit liebevoller, geduldiger und einfühlsamer Begleitung wird PHILIP aber ganz sicher zu einem wundervollen, treuen und fröhlichen Begleiter werden. PHILIP ist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, auf Endo- und Ektoparasiten behandelt und wird bis zur Ausreise selbstverständlich auch auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Natürlich wissen wir nicht, welche Rassen genau beteiligt sind. Aber aufgrund seiner ursprünglichen Herkunft liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass vielleicht auch irgendwann der Griechische Schäferhund (HSH) mit beteiligt war. Und deshalb und auch weil PHILIP ein großer Hund werden wird, suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause in erfahrenen Händen, mit Haus und Garten, in dem er sicher und souverän geführt wird.

About PHILIP

What life with PHILIP looks like

PHILIP is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierisch Grenzenlos e.V. in Bamberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 PHILIP, answered.

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