Saphira

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 3 years

Geschichte: Saphira lebte in Portugal bei einer Geschäftsfamilie, die bankrott ging. In der Folge musste das Haus verkauft werden und es gab weder Platz noch Zeit für Saphira. So kam sie in Pension zu Nuno, der eng mit APAC zusammen arbeitet. Saphira ist nun schon eine ganze Weile in der Pension und man bat uns um Hilfe, sie zu vermitteln. Verhalten: Saphira zeigt sich freundlich und aufgeschlossen gegenüber Menschen, sie läuft schön an der Leine und ist dabei wenig aufgeregt. Sie versteht sich auch mit den Hunden problemlos und auch Katzen, wäre sie wohl schon gewöhnt. Kinder sollten bereits im Schulkindalter sein. Sie kennt das Autofahren und auch das stundenweise alleine sein und man geht davon aus, dass sie das nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit auch im neuen Zuhause kann. Bedürfnisse: Für Saphira suchen wir ein aktives und liebevolles Zuhause, am liebsten auf dem Land mit einem eigenen Garten. Man sollte Spaß daran haben, Saphira noch all das beizubringen was man hier so im Alltag wissen muss. Saphira sollte geistig und körperlich auslasten werden, aber auch auf angemessene Ruhepausen ist zu achten.

About Saphira

What life with Saphira looks like

Saphira is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. in Germany.

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 Saphira, answered.

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