Tylon

Male · Adult · 6 years

Tylon was originally adopted from SCAN by a German man, living in a nearby village. He was safe and very happy in a loving home, with a great life. Things changed overnight, when sadly his human dad passed away suddenly. Tylon was then left with an elderly family member, but he was on his own for long periods of time and his situation was a bit precarious. He came back into the shelter, to help facilitate a new home. Initially he was withdrawn and shut down in the shelter, but over the past month he has really come out of himself and is enjoying spending time with the volunteers and having lots of 1-1 time. TYLON is a HOVAWART (Hovie), which is a German breed, with dogs that are characteristically loyal and devoted, hardworking and intelligent. They were used to guard the farm and the family. Even though Tylon is not 100% Hovawart, he definitely has the gen of guarding and protecting. Therefore we can only give Tylon to a person that knows the breed and has experience in handling them.

About Tylon

What life with Tylon looks like

Tylon is a adult dog waiting at SCAN Costa Blanca.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tylon, answered.

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