Raphi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Raphy ist ein wunderschöner Rüde vom Typ Kangal, der bereits als kleiner Welpe mit seinen drei Geschwistern ausgesetzt wurde. Seitdem verbringt er sein Leben im Tierheim und wartet geduldig auf das, was er sich am meisten wünscht: ein eigenes Zuhause und Menschen, die ihn lieben. Raphy ist freundlich, verspielt und unglaublich liebevoll. Er genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, liebt Streicheleinheiten und knüpft gerne Kontakte – sowohl zu Menschen als auch zu anderen Hunden. Das Besondere an Raphy ist, dass er sich seiner beeindruckenden Größe überhaupt nicht bewusst ist. In seinem Herzen ist er ein kleiner Hund, der am liebsten ganz nah bei seinen Menschen ist und sich am liebsten auf den Schoß kuscheln würde. Seine sanfte und verschmuste Art macht ihn zu einem ganz besonderen Begleiter. Für Raphy suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Menschen, die ihm endlich die Geborgenheit schenken, auf die er schon so lange wartet. Alles, was dieser sanfte Riese braucht, ist ein ruhiges Plätzchen, viel Liebe und jemanden, den er seine Familie nennen darf. Wer Raphy eine Chance gibt, gewinnt einen treuen, dankbaren und liebevollen Freund fürs Leben.

About Raphi

What life with Raphi looks like

Raphi is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Einsame Pfoten Zadar e.V. in Niederdreisbach.

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 Raphi, answered.

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