Sirio

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

Sirio lived with a mentally ill woman on her rural property until the day he was surrendered along with 16 other dogs. He may also be adjusting well to life at the shelter because of this. He is very social with both humans and dogs, showing no fear or aggression. Although Sirio's previous owner was unable to provide him with optimal care due to her illness and the large number of dogs, he was still in relatively good condition and had a decent life given the circumstances. Some of his former friends have already found new homes. Sirio is still waiting for his chance at happiness! Sirio, like most "Bodis" (a term of endearment), has a loving and playful nature. They are open-minded and curious, looking at the world and unconditionally bonding with their human companions. They love to cuddle, especially on the couch with their humans. Sirio is not particularly active at the shelter, but this could change in a new home. Bodis are naturally active dogs when given the right conditions. And Sirio is at the prime of his life! © 2006-2026 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

Sirio lebte bis zu dem Tag, an dem er gemeinsam mit 16 anderen Hunden, von einer psychisch kranken Frau, abgegeben werden musste, bei ihr auf dem Land. Vielleicht kommt er auch aus diesem Grund, hier im Tierheim, mit all den anderen Hunden, gut zurecht. Er verhält sich den Menschen und seinen Artgenossen gegenüber sehr sozial, kennt keine Scheu und keinerlei Aggression. Auch wenn Sirio von seiner Vorbesitzerin, aufgrund deren Erkrankung und der damit verbundenen Überforderung, nicht zuletzt wegen der Vielzahl der Hunde, nicht immer optimal versorgt wurde, so war er doch in einem einigermaßen guten Zustand und hatte den Umständen entsprechend, ein einigermaßen gutes Leben. Einige seiner früheren Kumpel haben inzwischen schon ein neues zuhause gefunden. Das fehlt Sirio bisher noch zu seinem Glück! Sirio hat, wie die meisten „Bodis“, so werden sie liebevoll genannt, ein liebevolles und lustiges Wesen. Aufgeschlossen und neugierig schauen sie in die Welt und schließen sich bedingungslos ihrem Menschen an. Sie lieben es zu kuscheln, am liebsten mit ihren Menschen auf dem Sofa. Sirio zeigt sich im Tierheimalltag nicht besonders aktiv. Doch das könnte sich in einem neuen Zuhause durchaus anders gestalten. Denn Bodis sind, ihrem Naturell gemäß, wenn sie die richtigen Bedingungen vorfinden, eher aktive Hunde. Und schließlich ist Sirio ja im besten Hundealter! © 2006-2026 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Sirio

What life with Sirio looks like

Sirio is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Sirio, answered.

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