How do I contact the shelter about Tayo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Schorndorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tayo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tayo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Schorndorf 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 Tayo 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 Tayo 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 Schorndorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tayo 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.

Tayo

Australian Shepherd · Male · Senior · 13 years

Tayo is a people-oriented, active and intelligent dog who loves fixed structures in the household. He enjoys being close to people, but is not a cuddly dog. Tayo has a pronounced food and resource guarding behavior, which needs to be handled. He loves to cool off in streams or take a swim in the Rems or the lake. Sometimes he is also a real chatterbox despite his age. Tayo regularly participates in the SocialWalk group and behaves towards other dogs depending on his sympathy. He enjoys daily walks with his caregivers and is very attentive. We are looking for Tayo a single placement without other animals with very experienced people (a couple or single) in a quiet environment. It is important that they can read and respect his body language very well.

DE·Show original

Tayo ist ein menschenbezogener, aktiver und gelehriger Hund, der feste Strukturen im Haushalt liebt. Er genießt die Nähe zum Menschen, ist aber kein Schmusehund. Tayo hat eine ausgeprägte Futter- und Ressourcenverteidigung, mit der man umgehen können muss. Er liebt es, sich in Bächen abzukühlen oder eine Runde in der Rems oder im See zu schwimmen. Manchmal ist er auch trotz seines Alters ein richtiger Quatschkopf. Tayo ist regelmäßig in der SocialWalk-Gruppe dabei und verhält sich anderen Hunden gegenüber je nach Sympathie. Er genießt die täglichen Spaziergänge mit seinen Bezugspersonen und ist dabei sehr aufmerksam. Wir suchen für Tayo einen Einzelplatz ohne andere Tiere bei sehr erfahrenen Menschen (Pärchen oder alleinstehend) in ruhiger Umgebung. Wichtig ist, dass sie seine Körpersprache sehr gut lesen können und auch respektieren.

About Tayo

What life with Tayo looks like

Tayo is a senior australian shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Schorndorf in Schorndorf.

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.
