Thanos

American Bully · Male

female dogs yes, otherwise, depending on sympathy and a get-to-know phase, compatible with other animals? Can be alone for some hours? Thanos came to us as a found dog from an animal shelter. Unfortunately, the young American Bully male dog was not missed by anyone and is now searching for a new, suitable home. We cannot say anything about his past. However, we suspect that he has had little opportunity to gather experiences with fellow animals. His initial behavior during dog encounters at the animal shelter and during free play with other dogs points to a lack of socialization. Currently, he shows excitement and playfulness towards familiar dogs. He is compatible with female dogs, but his compatibility with male dogs depends on sympathy. His insecurity has not yet been overcome, especially towards males, where clear empathy and patience are required. Thanos masters the commands like sit and stay perfectly, and he is also an enthusiastic "high five" giver. Thanos is a very agile dog, full of joy and energy, eager to learn and do things right. When he is overstimulated, he really winds up, but he can be brought back to calm with a good dose of composure and quiet. A visit to dog training classes should be a given for his new owners. We are looking for dog-experienced people who can meet him with self-assurance and authority, setting clear boundaries. He learns quickly and enjoys it. His new owners must challenge him physically, but especially mentally. Small children should not live in the household.

Hündinnen ja, sonst nach Sympathie und einer Kennenlernphase Verträglich mit anderen Tieren? Kann einige Stunden alleine sein? Thanos kam als Fundhund zu uns ins Tierheim. Leider wurde der junge American Bully Rüde von niemanden vermisst und deshalb sucht er nun nach einem neuen, passenden Zuhause. Über seine Vergangenheit können wir nichts sagen. Wir vermuten jedoch, dass er wenig Erfahrungen mit Artgenossen sammeln konnte. Sein anfängliches Verhalten im Tierheim bei Hundebegegnungen und im Freilauf mit anderen Hunden deuteten auf eine mangelnde Sozialisierung hin. Mittlerweilen zeigt er sich bei ihm bekannten Hunden freudig erregt und macht Spielaufforderungen. Mit Hündinnen ist er verträglich, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Seine Unsicherheit hat er noch nicht abgelegt, vor allem bei Männern zeigt er oft ein deutliches Meideverhalten, hier ist Einfühlungsvermögen und Geduld gefragt. Die Kommandos wie Sitz und Platz beherrscht Thanos perfekt, auch ist er ein begeisterter „High Five“ Geber. Thanos ist ein sehr agiler Hund, in ihm steckt viel Freude und Energie, er möchte lernen und alles Richtig machen. Ist er überfordert dreht er richtig auf, aber man kann ihn gut wieder zur Ruhe bringen. Man muss Thanos durch eine gute Portion Gelassenheit und Ruhe zeigen das man in jeder Situation Herr der Lage ist. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule sollte für seine neuen Besitzer selbstverständlich sein. Wir suchen für ihn hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm selbstsicher und souverän gegenübertreten und ihm klare Grenzen setzen können. Er lernt sehr schnell und hat großen Spaß daran. Seine neuen Besitzer müssen ihn körperlich, aber vor allem geistig auslasten. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. E-mail: Öffnet in neuem Fenster.

About Thanos

What life with Thanos looks like

Thanos is a large adult american bully dog waiting at Tierschutz Celle in Celle.

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 Thanos, answered.

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