Silo

Male · Adult · 8 years

We rescued Silo together with his companion Sansa from the Perrera Resur in Linares. He is currently staying at a dog boarding facility nearby. Silo and his canine friend Sansa are housed together, and we’re looking for a suitable, species-appropriate home where they can live happily together. Silo is a spirited livestock guardian mix—likely with Border Collie ancestry—who loves to move around and needs plenty of space. He’s large and strong, yet friendly and well-behaved with both people and other dogs. With Sansa and Silo, you’ll have two powerful companions with their own special needs. As challenging as it may be, we’re still hopeful that we can find the right home where these two can spend their lives in good conditions. We’re seeking a rural home for Silo, ideally with a yard or garden that’s completely securely fenced. Prospective adopters should have experience with this breed, and the surrounding environment must be appropriately prepared. Before acquiring one or more livestock guardian dogs, you’ll need to acquire thorough knowledge—and ideally already have some experience—about their care requirements. The living conditions must be optimized: everything must be high enough, stable, and tightly sealed. In their native country, livestock guardians are trained to guard and protect herds; they make their own decisions about what needs to be done, working day and night. In Spain, these dogs are often used as guard dogs as well, since they excel at that task too. Half-hearted attempts at training will likely not be accepted, and it will take time and dedication to meet this dog’s needs adequately. Unfortunately, many of them cannot survive in their homeland, which is why we’re doing our best to help at least a few dogs of this wonderful breed. If you’d like to offer Silo and Sansa a loving, caring home together, please send us your completed self-assessment form. Silo stands approximately 65 cm tall. If you’d like to provide a caring home for him, please send us your completed self-assessment form. The adoption fee is €500.

Silo haben wir zusammen mit Zwingergefährtin Sansa aus der Perrera Resur in Linares befreit. Aktuell befindet er sich in der Hundepension in der Nähe. Silo ist mit seiner Hundefreundin Sansa in derselben Unterkunft, wir suchen möglichst für beide zusammen ein geeignetes, artgerechtes Zuhause. Silo ist ein temperamentvoller Herdenschutzmix, vermutlich mit Border Collie, der sich gerne bewegt und viel Platz braucht. Er ist groß und kräftig, aber auch freundlich und verträglich mit Menschen und Artgenossen. Mit Sansa und Silo hat man zwei Kraftpakete mit ihren besonderen Bedürfnissen. So schwierig es sein mag, wir hoffen trotzdem auf einen geeigneten Platz, wo die beiden für immer leben dürfen in guten Verhältnissen. Wir suchen für Silo ein Zuhause im ländlichen Bereich mit Hof oder Garten, komplett sicher umzäunt. Die Adoptanten sollten Erfahrung mit der Rasse haben und das Umfeld muss entsprechend gestaltet sein. Vor Anschaffung eines oder mehrerer Herdenschutzhunde muss man sich Wissen aneignen, möglichst aber bereits Erfahrung haben, die Haltungsbedingungen müssen optimiert werden (alles muss hoch genug, stabil und dicht sein). Herdenschützer müssen im Herkunftsland Herden bewachen und verteidigen, sie entscheiden selbst, was zu tun ist, sie arbeiten Tag und Nacht. In Spanien werden diese Hunde auch oft als Wachhunde eingesetzt, da sie auch das ausgezeichnet beherrschen. Halbherzige Erziehungsversuche werden wohl kaum akzeptiert und es muss Zeit und Engagement aufgebracht werden, um den Bedürfnissen eines solchen Hundes hier gerecht zu werden. Leider können sie oft in ihrem Heimatland nicht überleben, deshalb versuchen wir, wenigstens ein paar Hunden dieser tollen Rasse zu helfen. Möchten Sie Silo und Sansa ein gemeinsames fürsorgliches Zuhause geben, dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an Silo ist ca. 65cm groß. Möchten Sie ein fürsorgliches Zuhause geben, dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 500€.

About Silo

What life with Silo looks like

Silo is a adult dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Silo, answered.

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