Xaferl

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

A 1/2-year-old Labrador Retriever mix with a lot of potential. If you don't engage in "power struggles" and remain calm and consistent, Xaverl learns quickly that "orienting himself around people" is worthwhile for him. So far, we've gotten to know him as a nice, very people-friendly, pre-pubescent young dog who still has a lot to learn. Currently, we're practicing a lot in the quiet area and on his frustration tolerance; the first successes are definitely already quite remarkable. Xaverl is compatible with dogs of both sexes, but he still needs a lot of support from his humans when approaching, so he doesn't "rampage in" aimlessly. For the wonderfully handsome youngster, we're looking for dog-experienced people who aren't afraid to set appropriate, fair boundaries and enforce them consistently. Both physical and mental exercise is a must, so there's no under-stimulation. Active people who like to be outdoors would be great for the great boy. Visiting a good dog school is desirable, to work on the dog basics together with the handsome one.

Ein 1/2-jähriger Labrador Retriever-Mix, der es in sich hat. Lässt man sich auf keine „Machtspielchen“ ein und bleibt ruhig und konsequent in seinem Tun, lernt Xaverl recht schnell, dass sich „Am-Menschen-orientieren“ durchaus für ihn lohnt. Bisher haben wir ihn als netten, sehr menschenfreundlichen, vorpubertären Junghund kennengelernt, der allerdings noch sehr viel lernen muss. Derzeit üben wir ganz viel im Ruhebereich und an seiner Fustrationstoleranz; die ersten Erfolge sind auf jeden Fall schon recht bemerkenswert Xaverl ist mit Artgenossen beiderlei Geschlechts verträglich, bei der Annäherung braucht er allerdings noch sehr viel Unterstützung von seinen Menschen, damit er da nicht planlos „reinbrettert“ Für den wunderhübschen Youngster suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die sich nicht scheuen, artgerechte, faire Grenzen zu setzen und diese auch konsequent einfordern können. Sowohl körperliche als auch geistige Auslastung ist ein Muss, damit es nicht zu Unterforderung kommt. Aktive Menschen, die gerne in der Natur unterwegs sind, wären für den tollen Buben Der Besuch eine guten Hundeschule ist wünschenswert, um gemeinsam mit dem Hübschen das Hunde-Einmaleins zu pauken.

About Xaferl

What life with Xaferl looks like

Xaferl is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Landkreis Freising in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Xaferl, answered.

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