Adopt Thiago

Bernese Mountain Dog · Male · Senior · 9 years

Dear Thiago came into the care of BSiN due to changing life circumstances. Thiago is calm and cuddly with people he knows. Since Thiago is rather skeptical towards strangers, it is advisable to give Thigao time to approach on his own. Thiago loves his walks on a leash. Right now, he is still a bit rambunctious and sometimes forgets the end of the leash. Dog encounters range from calm to excited, depending on mutual sympathy. In the car, Thiago is a quiet passenger, although he still needs to learn that he must not immediately jump out of the car after getting in. For Thiago, we are looking for people who would like to provide a currently insecure boy with the necessary security in order to enjoy the colorful life. Foster location: Near Bergisch Gladbach. From experience, we know that our protected animals develop further every day in their foster homes. You can follow the further development of the BSiN protected animal in the diary of the foster home. Important:

Der liebe Thiago kam aufgrund veränderter Lebensumstände in die Obhut von BSiN. Thiago verhält sich bekannten Menschen gegenüber ruhig und verschmust. Da Thiago fremden Menschen gegenüber eher skeptisch ist, sollte man Thigao die Zeit geben, um selbst Kontakt aufzunehmen. Thiago liebt seine Spaziergänge an der Leine. Zurzeit ist er noch etwas stürmisch unterwegs und vergisst dann schon mal gerne das Ende der Leine. Hundebegegnungen verlaufen je nach Sympathie von gelassen bis aufgeregt. Im Auto ist Thiago ein ruhiger Mitfahrer wobei er noch lernen muss, dass er nach dem Einsteigen nicht sofort wieder aus dem Auto springen darf.Für Thiago suchen wir Menschen, welche einem zurzeit noch unsicheren Buben die nötige Sicherheit vermitteln möchten um das bunte Leben geniessen zu können.Pflegeort: Nähe Bergisch GladbachAus Erfahrung wissen wir, dass sich unsere Schützlinge in ihren Pflegestellen jeden Tag weiterentwickeln.Im Tagebuch der Pflegestelle können Sie die weitere Entwicklung des BSiN Schützlings verfolgen.Wichtig:- eine

About Thiago

What life with Thiago looks like

Thiago is a senior bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Berner Sennenhunde in Not e.V. in Nümbrecht.

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 Thiago, answered.

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