Xena

Mixed Breed · Female

Xena! Are you looking for a loyal companion? Sven, a male dog, came to our shelter with four other dogs due to a death. He probably didn't get much attention in his old home: collar and harness were new territory for him. Sven is developing well in the shelter and is now showing that he is ready for a new start and will make a great companion for the right people. Other dogs? Honestly, I don't need them right now. Sure, in our old pack we knew each other, but when I meet new dogs - whether on a leash during a walk or in everyday life - I can get pretty grumpy. I want my humans to myself and need guidance, structure, and someone to show me that other dogs are not a threat. The perfect home for me: I hope for a home as a single princess where I can settle in peace. A second dog if you like. If you enjoy walks together, some paw fitness, and lots of cuddles - and don't mind supporting me during encounters with other dogs - then I'm your perfect match! If you're interested, please send a detailed email with your phone number to .

Hallo, ich bin's Xena! Suchst du eine treue Begleiterin? Aufgrund eines Todesfalls kam Sven mitsamt vier anderen Hunden zu uns ins Tierheim. Kennengelernt hat der Rüde in seinem alten Zuhause vermutlich nicht viel: Halsband und Geschirr waren für ihn erstmal Neuland. Sven entwickelt sich im Tierheim sehr gut und zeigt mittlerweile deutlich, dass er bereit für einen Neuanfang ist und ein toller Begleiter für die passenden Menschen werden wird. Andere Hunde? Puh, brauche ich ehrlich gesagt erst mal nicht mehr. Klar in unserem alten Rudel kannten wir uns, wenn ich aber fremden Hunden begegne – egal ob an der Leine beim Spaziergang oder im Alltag - kann ich doch ziemlich zickig werden. Ich möchte meine Menschen gern für mich alleine haben und brauche hier noch Führung, Struktur und jemanden, der mir zeigt, dass andere Hunde keine Bedrohung sind. Das perfekte Zuhause für mich: Ich wünsche mir evtl. ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin, in dem ich in Ruhe ankommen darf. Ein zweiter Hund bei Sympathie. Wenn du Lust auf gemeinsame Spaziergänge, ein bisschen Pfoten-Fitness und ganz viele Kuscheleinheiten hast – und kein Problem damit hast, mir bei Fremdhunde-Begegnungen den Rücken zu stärken – dann bin ich deine perfekte Partnerin! Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Email mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Xena

What life with Xena looks like

Xena is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf 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 Xena, answered.

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