SILAS

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Silas is a male dog, born on 27.07.2026. He has been at the shelter since 20.10.2026. Silas was rescued from a killing station along with his mother Yuna and siblings Lalea and Ole. The siblings have settled in well at the shelter and their past is no longer apparent. They are curious, playful, and show a lot of interest in their surroundings. They are also quite mischievous and like to assert their independence. Silas and his siblings are currently getting to know other dogs of all sizes and ages to lay the foundation for extensive socialization. They are also being trained to walk on a leash and live in a house with the help of our volunteers. We are now looking for a home for Silas where he can experience loving but consistent upbringing. Since Silas and his siblings probably have a significant proportion of livestock guardian genes, they have corresponding character traits that need to be understood for a harmonious coexistence. Their future families should be willing to deal with the characteristics of these special dogs or ideally already have experience in dealing with livestock guardian dogs. For this reason, we also see the siblings in a more rural home with a farm or garden. A confident first-time dog owner would certainly make it easier for Silas to start his new life, but it is not a requirement for a home.

Kastriert: neinHandicaps: nein Verträglich mitHunden: jaKindern: kennt Kinder bisher nicht Geimpft und gechipt: jaEU-Heimtierausweis: jaSchutzgebühr: 530€ Silas haben wir gemeinsam mit seiner Mama Yuna und seinen Geschwistern Lalea und Ole aus der Tötungsstation gerettet. Bei uns haben sich die Geschwister bereits prima eingelebt und von ihrer Vergangenheit ist nichts mehr zu erahnen. Die drei zeigen sich absolut aufgeschlossen und altersentsprechend neugierig und verspielt. Außerdem sind sie recht freche Geschwister, die auch gerne mal ihren eigenen Kopf durchsetzen möchten. Bei uns lernen sie aktuell Artgenossen aller Größen und jeden Alters kennen, um den Grundstein einer umfangreichen Sozialisierung zu legen. Auch an das Laufen an der Leine und das Leben im Haus werden sie an der Seite unserer Volontäre zur Zeit gewöhnt. Für Silas suchen wir nun ein Zuhause, in dem er eine liebevolle, aber ebenso konsequente Erziehung erfahren darf. Da Silas und seine Geschwister vermutlich einen erheblichen Anteil an Herdenschutzhundgenen in sich tragen, bringen sie entsprechende Wesenszüge mit, die es für ein harmonisches Miteinander zu verstehen gilt. Ihre zukünftigen Familien sollten also bereit sein, sich mit den Eigenschaften dieser besonderen Hunde auseinanderzusetzen oder bestenfalls bereits Erfahrung im Umgang mit Herdenschutzhunden haben. Aus diesem Grund sehen wir die Geschwister auch in einem eher ländlichen Zuhause mit Hof oder Garten. Ein souveräner Ersthund würde Silas den Start in sein neues Leben sicher erleichtern, ist aber keine Voraussetzung für eine

About SILAS

What life with SILAS looks like

SILAS is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting SILAS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SILAS?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SILAS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SILAS if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche Noah Transilvania 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is SILAS already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats 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 SILAS 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 Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know SILAS 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.
