Xan

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 2 years

Unser sanfter Riese Xan kam wohl direkt von der Straße in die Perrera. Seinen Artgenossen gegenüber ist er sozial und dem Menschen aufgeschlossen. Wir suchen eine aktive und erfahrene Familie, die Xan auch noch einiges beibringen kann. Wenn Xan ausreisen darf ist er kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, ärztlich voruntersucht und hat einen Mittelmeercheck. Ein Hund zeigt sich im Tierheim oft anders als dann im neuen Zuhause – Rückschritte sind nicht unüblich. Es bedarf viel Liebe und Geduld von Euch. Bitte adoptiert nur, wenn Ihr Euch dessen bewusst und bereit seid, sein Leben lang für ihn Verantwortung zu tragen. "Rassenbestimmung durch rein optische Merkmale"

About Xan

What life with Xan looks like

Xan is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Hundehoffnung-Berlin in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Xan, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xan?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehoffnung-Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xan if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehoffnung-Berlin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Xan 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 Xan 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 Hundehoffnung-Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xan 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.
