Tira

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Self-assured and composed. Cooperative with her people, but critical with fellow animals. The calm, cool, and above-most-things-standing female dog initially showed mistrust towards unfamiliar people. Now, she is very friendly and cooperative. She has learned many things through working with our dog trainers. However, she remains critical in her interactions with fellow animals. She is housed in a single kennel and has no interest in interactions with other animals. On the leash, she is generally neutral and can be led past other dogs without issue. If she takes her people seriously, she does not bark at them and ignores other dogs. Anyone taking on Tira must have sufficient experience with Molosser breeds and own a securely fenced property. Apart from her issues, Tira is a sweetheart, absolutely nice and playful, and pleasant to handle. Tira came from a less-than-ideal home and had been in several hands. The last owner had an incident with a stranger. Since the owner could not perform a behavioral assessment or provide proof of knowledge, she surrendered Tira to us.

Selbstbewusst und gelassen. Kooperativ mit ihren Menschen, kritisch mit Artgenossen. Die gelassene, coole, über den meisten Dingen stehende, große Hündin zeigte sich anfangs misstrauisch fremden Menschen gegenüber. Inzwischen ist sie sehr umgänglich und kooperativ. Sie hat viele Dinge durch das Arbeiten mit unseren Hundetrainern gelernt. Weiterhin bleibt sie jedoch kritisch im Umgang mit Artgenossen. Sie ist bei uns im Einzelzwinger untergebracht und legt keinen Wert auf Kontakte mit Artgenossen. An der Leine ist sie weitgehend neutral und lässt sich gut an anderen Hunden vorbeiführen. Wenn sie ihren Menschen ernst nimmt, pöbelt sie nicht und ignoriert andere Hunde. Wer Tira übernehmen möchte muss über ausreichend Erfahrung im Umgang mit Molossern verfügen und ein fest eingezäuntes Grundstück besitzen. Außerhalb ihrer Probleme ist Tira ein Schätzchen, absolut nett und verspielt und angenehm im Umgang. Tira kam seinerzeit aus eher schlechtem Hause und war bereits in mehreren Händen. Zuletzt hatte sie bei der Vorbesitzerin einen Vorfall gegen einen fremden Menschen. Da die Besitzerin mit ihr weder Wesenstest noch Sachkundenachweis hätte machen können, gab sie Tira bei uns ab.

About Tira

What life with Tira looks like

Tira is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) in Germany.

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 Tira, answered.

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