How do I contact the shelter about Tris?

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

Can I adopt Tris if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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 Tris 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 Tris 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tris 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.

Tris

Mixed Breed · Female

Tris was rehomed in 2025 and is now looking for a new home. Her owner is very fond of the loving, active German Shepherd and is finding it difficult to find a new home for her. However, Tris's active nature has changed the first dog, a German Shepherd male, significantly. He does not tolerate Tris's activity well and avoids certain situations more and more often. Tris's family has tried many things, but unfortunately, it does not work out with the two dogs. Therefore, we are now looking for a new, good, preferably German Shepherd-experienced home for this lovely female dog. Tris is a very active, very smart and people-oriented female dog. She loves exercise, sniffing. She is a fan of nose work and does it really well: searching for a treat in a large meadow - Tris is there. Tris can live very well in the house and relax there. She likes to lie on a blanket with her German Shepherd male. Tris loves to be with her human and learn things. She has a single topic: she sometimes spins around in circles when she is excited. This would need to be practiced step by step. The pretty German Shepherd nose needs activity, but just as much rest and relaxation. Tris currently lives in Switzerland. She could also be met there.

Beschreibung Tris wurde 2025 vermittelt und sucht nun ein neues Zuhause. Ihr Frauchen ist begeistert von der lieben, aktiven Schäferhündin und es fällt ihr nicht leicht, ein neues Zuhause für sie zu suchen. Aber: durch Tris' aktives Wesen hat sich der Ersthund, ein Schäferhund Rüde, sehr verändert. Er verträgt die Aktivität von Tris nicht gut und meidet immer öfter bestimmte Situationen. Tris' Familie hat vieles versucht, aber es passt leider nicht mit den beiden Hunden. Deshalb suchen wir nun ein neues, gutes, am besten Schäferhund-erfahrenes Zuhause für diese liebe Hündin. Tris ist eine sehr aktive, sehr schlaue und menschenbezogene Hündin. Sie liebt die Bewegung, das Schnüffeln. Sie ist ein Fan von Nasenarbeit und macht das richtig gut: ein Leckerlie suchen in einer großen Wiese - Tris ist dabei. Tris kann sehr gut im Haus leben und dort auch entspannen. Mit dem Schäferrüden liegt sie gerne auf einer Decke zusammen. Tris liebt es mit ihrem Menschen unterwegs zu sein und Dinge zu lernen. Sie hat ein einziges Thema: sie dreht sich manchmal hektisch im Kreis wenn sie aufgeregt ist. So auch derzeit beim Autofahren. Dies müsste step by step geübt werden. Die hübsche Schäfernase braucht Auslastung, aber genauso viel Ruhe und Entspannung. Tris lebt derzeit in der Schweiz. Sie könnte dort auch kennen gelernt werden. Der folgende Text war vor Tris

About Tris

What life with Tris looks like

Tris is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. 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.
