Xena

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

The black and white female dog Xena is looking for a suitable home. She is just under 50 cm tall, over 2 years old and full of energy. As a young puppy she was not allowed to experience much of life. Now she wants to catch up on that. The dog walks well on a leash, so she is looking for people who like to go for walks and also want to keep her busy and occupied. The obedient and clever Xena has been spayed and vaccinated. She hasn't been at the shelter long, so we don't know how she reacts to cats or other animals. She gets along with other dogs but doesn't necessarily want another dog in the household that she has to share her humans with. Xena loves being stroked, she is very affectionate. A great and beautiful dog, please make an appointment to meet her.

DE·Show original

Die schwarz-weiße Hündin Xena ist auf der Suche nach dem passenden Zuhause. Sie hat eine Größe von knapp 50 cm, ist etwas über 2 Jahre alt und hat Energie. Als Junghund durfte sie nicht viel vom Leben kennen lernen. Dies möchte sie jetzt gern nachholen. An der Leine geht die Hündin sehr gut mit, daher sucht sie Menschen, die gerne spazieren gehen und sie auch sonst gut auslasten und beschäftigen. Die gelehrige und kluge Xena ist kastriert und geimpft. Sie ist noch nicht lange im Tierheim, deshalb wissen wir nicht, wie sie auf Katzen oder anderes reagiert. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich, möchte aber nicht unbedingt einen anderen Hund im Haushalt, mit dem sie sich ihre Menschen teilen muss. Xena liebt es gestreichelt zu werden, sie ist sehr anhänglich. Eine tolle und bildschöne Hündin, bitte zum Kennenlernen einen Termin vereinbaren.

About Xena

What life with Xena looks like

Xena is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hof in Hof.

An young 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 Hof 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 Hof 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 Hof 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.
