Silas

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Silas - I am looking for a new home. Hello, dear people, I thought I had already found my forever home. It is all the more difficult for me to tell you today that I have to look for a family again. The reason is not me. Unfortunately, the youngest member of my family has developed an allergy, so Alfi and I have to move out with a heavy heart. It is just as painful for my people as it is for us. I live on a farm and take great joy in taking care of the house and property. It is just in my blood. I am attentive, loyal and take my task very seriously. At the same time, I enjoy the closeness to my people and I am happy to be where my family is. I also get along well with the cat that belongs to our family. I am a confident dog and I wish for people who give me security and orientation. If I know that I can rely on you, I am a loyal companion who goes through thick and thin with you. I master new situations best with people by my side who treat me calmly, consistently and lovingly. Of course, I also know walks. Since I have lived on the farm so far, I may still need to work on my leash obedience. With patience, practice and shared experiences, I will definitely learn that quickly. My greatest wish would be to find a new home together with my friend Alfi. We know each other well and would be happy to be able to stay together. If that is not possible, I can also imagine starting a new life alone - if my people are willing to give me time to arrive. I promise you not to be perfect. But I promise you to give my heart if you give me the chance. Maybe you are just the family I have been waiting for for so long. Your Silas ❤️🐾

DE·Show original

Ich bin Silas – und ich suche ein neues Zuhause. Hallo ihr lieben Menschen, eigentlich hatte ich gedacht, ich hätte mein Für-immer-Zuhause schon gefunden. Umso schwerer fällt es mir, euch heute zu erzählen, dass ich noch einmal auf die Suche nach einer Familie gehen muss. Der Grund liegt nicht an mir. Leider hat der jüngste Mensch meiner Familie eine Allergie entwickelt, sodass Alfi und ich schweren Herzens ausziehen müssen. Für meine Menschen ist das genauso schmerzhaft wie für uns. Ich lebe auf einem Hof und passe dort mit großer Freude auf Haus und Grundstück auf. Das liegt mir einfach im Blut. Ich bin aufmerksam, treu und nehme meine Aufgabe sehr ernst. Gleichzeitig genieße ich die Nähe zu meinen Menschen und bin gerne dort, wo meine Familie ist. Auch mit der Katze, die zu unserer Familie gehört, komme ich gut zurecht. Ich bin ein selbstbewusster Hund und wünsche mir Menschen, die mir Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Wenn ich weiß, dass ich mich auf euch verlassen kann, bin ich ein loyaler Begleiter, der mit euch durch dick und dünn geht. Neue Situationen meistere ich am besten mit Menschen an meiner Seite, die ruhig, konsequent und liebevoll mit mir umgehen. Spaziergänge kenne ich natürlich auch. Da ich bisher überwiegend auf dem Hof gelebt habe, darf ich an meiner Leinenführigkeit noch etwas arbeiten. Mit Geduld, Übung und gemeinsamen Erlebnissen werde ich das bestimmt schnell lernen. Mein größter Wunsch wäre es, gemeinsam mit meinem Freund Alfi ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Wir kennen uns gut und würden uns freuen, zusammenbleiben zu dürfen. Sollte das nicht möglich sein, kann ich mir aber auch vorstellen, alleine in ein neues Leben zu starten – wenn meine Menschen bereit sind, mir Zeit zum Ankommen zu geben. Ich verspreche euch nicht, perfekt zu sein. Aber ich verspreche euch, mein Herz zu verschenken, wenn ihr mir die Chance gebt. Vielleicht seid genau ihr die Familie, auf die ich schon so lange warte. Euer Silas ❤️🐾

About Silas

What life with Silas looks like

Silas is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

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 Silas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silas?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 — Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 Silas 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 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 Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
