Thanos

Female

Thanos, Rottweiler, born on 19.07.20, neutered Thanos came to us via the veterinary office and has been classified as dangerous by the city of Ludwigsburg. Therefore, a muzzle and leash are required for him, and a thorough understanding of handling dangerous dogs is necessary. We are happy to inform you about this. At Thanos's shelter, he gets along well with people who are clear and firm with him. He shows signs of incompatibility with male dogs, and compatibility with others would need to be tested on a case-by-case basis with a stable female dog. Thanos cannot be rehomed with cats or small animals and also cannot be placed with families with children. We see the imposing male dog at breed-experienced dog owners who have the desire and time to continue shaping him. His basic obedience is currently more lacking than present. But he has really good potential, can listen well, and also can be trained. Building on this is possible. Thanos had likely three biting incidents before the classification. He knows how to use his teeth and would do it again if no one tells him to stop. He is familiar with the muzzle and wears it without problems. It is clear that he should also stay at home initially, until he knows the rules of the house. Thanos is unsure but also goes forward at times. His new owners need to see, interpret correctly, and handle this. Thanos is not a self-starter, not for inexperienced people, but also not a monster. Where are the Rottweiler fans who will take on this challenge? -13 { margin: auto; } -13 -13 img { border: 2px solid; }

Thanos, Rottweiler, 19.07.20 geboren, kastriert Thanos kam übers Veterinäramt zu uns und ist von der Stadt Ludwigsburg als gefährlich eingestuft worden. Für ihn gilt also also Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht und es ist eine Sachkunde zum führen gefährlicher Hunde notwendig. Wir informieren Sie dazu gerne. Bei uns ist Thanos mit den Menschen in Ordnung, die ihm klar gegenüber treten. Er zeigt sich mit Rüden unverträglich, die Verträglichkeit mit einer vorhandenen, stabilen Hündin müsste man im Einzelfall testen. Thanos kann nicht zu Katzen/Kleintiere und auch nicht an Familien mit Kindern vermittelt werden. Wir sehen den imposanten Rüden bei rasseerfahrene Hundehaltern, die Lust und Zeit haben, ihn weiter zu formen. Sein Grundgehorsam ist zur Zeit noch eher mangelhaft. Aber er hat wirklich tolle Anlagen, kann gut zuhören und auch unterfahren. Darauf kann man aufbauen. Thanos hatte wohl drei Beißvorfälle vor der Einstufung. Er weiß also, wie er seine Zähne einsetzen kann und würde es auch wieder tun, wenn ihm keiner sagt, dass er es lassen soll. Den Maulkorb kennt er natürlich und trägt ihn ohne Probleme. Klar ist, der sollte anfangs auch im häuslichen Umfeld drauf bleiben, bis er die Spielregeln im Haus kennt. Thanos ist eher unsicher, aber genau dann geht er auch mal nach vorne. Das müssen seine neuen Menschen sehen, richtig deuten und sie müssen damit umgehen können. Thanos ist leider kein Selbstläufer, auch nichts für unerfahrene Menschen, aber auch kein Monster. Wo sind die Rottweiler-Fans, die sich dieser Aufgabe annehmen? -9 { margin: auto; } -9 -9 img { border: 2px solid ; } -9 /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

About Thanos

What life with Thanos looks like

Thanos is an adult dog waiting at Tierheim Pirmasens in Pirmasens.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierheim Pirmasens 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 — Tierheim Pirmasens 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tierheim Pirmasens 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.
