How do I contact the shelter about Shiba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shiba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shiba if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Shiba 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 Shiba 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shiba 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.

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Shiba – A Whirlwind of Energy and Love for Life → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 2024 → Size / Weight: 53 cm / 18 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Microchip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorship possible: yes Description: Shiba is a medium-sized dog brimming with a large dose of energy and a personality that fills any room. Her big, curious eyes and unique appearance, with one ear standing up and the other hanging down, make her a sight to remember. It's impossible not to look at her and fall in love with her lively personality. Shiba is an open book when it comes to people. She has no fear of being touched and immediately goes into cuddle mode when she meets someone she likes. She loves to be petted and hugged, and she generously returns the affection. But Shiba is not just a cuddly creature. She is also an active and athletic dog who loves to play and move around. She needs plenty of physical and mental stimulation to burn off her energy and be happy. Despite her many positive qualities, Shiba still needs a lot of training and education. She hasn't yet learned basic rules and requires people who can teach her everything. She needs patience, love, and consistency to grow into a well-mannered dog. {youtube} Note:

Shiba –Wirbelwind voller Energie und Lebensfreude → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 2024 → Grösse / Gewicht: 53 cm / 18 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung: Shiba ist ein mittelgroßer Hund mit einer großen Portion Energie und einer Persönlichkeit, die jeden Raum erfüllt. Ihre großen, neugierigen Augen und ihr einzigartiges Aussehen mit einem stehenden und einem hängenden Ohr machen sie zu einem unvergesslichen Anblick. Man kann nicht anders, als sie anzusehen und sich in ihre lebendige Persönlichkeit zu verlieben. Shiba ist ein offenes Buch, wenn es um Menschen geht. Sie hat keine Berührungsängste und geht sofort auf Kuschelkurs, wenn sie jemanden trifft, den sie mag. Sie liebt es, gestreichelt und gekuschelt zu werden, und sie gibt gerne Liebe zurück. Aber Shiba ist nicht nur ein Kuschelmonster. Sie ist auch ein aktiver und sportlicher Hund, der gerne spielt und sich bewegt. Sie benötigt viel Auslastung – körperlich und geistig, um ihre Energie auszuleben und glücklich zu sein. Trotz ihrer vielen positiven Eigenschaften benötigt Shiba jedoch noch einiges an Erziehung und Ausbildung. Sie hat noch keine Grundregeln gelernt und braucht Menschen, die ihr alles beibringen. Sie benötigt Geduld, Liebe und Konsequenz, um zu einem wohlgeratenen Hund heranzuwachsen. {youtube} Hinweis:Dieses Tier befindet sich noc

About Shiba

What life with Shiba looks like

Shiba is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young 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.
