Xavio

Mixed Breed · Male · 11 months

History Xavio was caught after wandering through gardens for several days. Because some chickens had gone missing, people from the neighborhood contacted the animal welfare association Pro Animal, whose volunteers immediately set out to bring the male dogs to the shelter. But behind this small “robber story” lies an incredibly sweet dog. Xavio is young, full of energy, curious about everything, and is totally friendly and open. He loves being close to people, enjoys attention, and infects everyone with his cheerful nature; he is full of life and good spirits. Now, Xavio is looking for people who love his youthful energy and show him how wonderful a safe home can be.

Vorgeschichte Xavio wurde eingefangen, nachdem er mehrere Tage durch Gärten gestreift ist. Weil einige Hühner verschwunden waren, kontaktieren Menschen aus der Nachbarschaft den Tierschutzverein Pro Animal, deren Volontäre sich sofort auf den Weg machten, um den Rüden ins Shelter zu holen. Doch hinter dieser kleinen „Räuber-Geschichte“ steckt ein unglaublich lieber Hund. Xavio ist jung, voller Energie, neugierig auf alles und dabei total freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Er liebt die Nähe zu Menschen, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und steckt jeden mit seiner fröhlichen Art an; er sprüht vor Leben und guter Laune. Jetzt sucht Xavio Menschen, die seine junge Energie lieben und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein sicheres Zuhause sein kann.

About Xavio

What life with Xavio looks like

Xavio is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Garafia e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Xavio, answered.

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