Adopt Tanzi

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 2 years

Attention all shepherd enthusiasts! We’ve all quickly fallen for Tanzi! She has adapted wonderfully to kennel life and loves going for walks with our staff and volunteers. Full of energy, Tanzi greets everyone with enthusiastic jumps, often unaware of her size! She thrives on affection and is truly a sweet girl. She adores attention and loves playing football! We have a list of cues from her previous owners, and our team is working closely with her to uncover the tricks she knows. Right now, we’re focusing on “recall” and “loose lead walking.” According to her previous owner, Tanzi is both muzzle trained and crate trained. They reported that she was perfectly fine being crated for a few hours (2-3) and adapted well to that routine. It’s essential for her to have a crate in her new home to help maintain her established routine. Tanzi would thrive with adopters who ideally have experience with large breeds, as she is very bouncy and playful! She gets overly excited when greeting people and just can’t contain her energy!

About Tanzi

What life with Tanzi looks like

Tanzi is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at All Creatures Great & Small Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An young 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tanzi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tanzi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. All Creatures Great & Small Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tanzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tanzi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — All Creatures Great & Small Animal Sanctuary 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tanzi 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 Tanzi 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 All Creatures Great & Small Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tanzi 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 (EN). 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.
