Adopt Santos

Great Dane · Male

Santos ist ein sehr menschengezogener, netter, kastrierter, im Umgang mit anderen Hunden allerdings sehr unsicherer Rüde. Beim Gassigehen geht er bei der Begegnung mit anderen Hunde nach vorn. Dies ist nur für hundeerfahrene Menschen händelbar. Santos wird deshalb auch nicht als Zweithund vermittelt. Sein neues Zuhause sollte über einen großen Garten verfügen, wo er sich austoben kann und die Menschen müssen genügend Zeit haben, um den Rüden gut körperlich und geistig auszulasten. In Zwingerhaltung vermitteln wir Santos aber nicht.

About Santos

What life with Santos looks like

Santos is a large adult great dane dog waiting at Tierheim Ostthüringen / TSV Greiz in Germany.

An 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 Santos, answered.

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