Xenia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Xenia (born 04/2026) has been living at her foster home since October 24, 2026. She is a friendly, active young female dog. She is playful, curious, and still has a lot of energy. At around 45 cm tall, she is already a respectable young dog, but she is likely to grow a bit more. Xenia can be a bit shy around strangers at first. If given a moment, she can open up to new people and show her friendly side.As is typical for a young dog, Xenia still needs to learn the basics of dog behavior. Training, everyday life, and everything that goes into a relaxed coexistence are still on her agenda. Her future owners should therefore be happy to lovingly and consistently guide her through this exciting phase of her life.Xenia is looking for a home where she can settle in, continue learning, and discover the world with her new family.Xenia is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and will be placed with a contract of protection after a positive preliminary check.A safety harness is required when picking up the dog. A harness (3 straps / 2 belly straps) can be purchased for just 25 euros.

Xenia (geb. 04/2026) lebt seit dem 24.10.2026 auf ihrer Pflegestelle und zeigt sich dort als freundliche, aktive Junghündin. Sie ist welpentypisch verspielt, neugierig und hat noch jede Menge Flausen im Kopf. Mit ihren aktuell etwa 45 cm ist sie schon eine stattliche junge Hündin, wird aber vermutlich noch ein wenig wachsen.Bei fremden Menschen ist Xenia anfangs manchmal etwas schüchtern. Gibt man ihr einen Moment Zeit, kann sie sich auf neue Begegnungen einlassen und ihre freundliche Art zeigen.Wie es sich für eine junge Hündin gehört, muss Xenia das Hunde-Einmaleins noch lernen. Erziehung, Alltag und alles, was zu einem entspannten Zusammenleben dazugehört, stehen noch auf ihrem Stundenplan. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten deshalb Freude daran haben, sie liebevoll und konsequent durch diese spannende Lebensphase zu begleiten.Xenia sucht ein Zuhause, in dem sie in Ruhe ankommen, weiter lernen und gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen die Welt entdecken darf.Xenia ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung des Hundes notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3 Riemen / 2 Bauchgurte) kann für nur 25 Euro mit erworben werden.

About Xenia

What life with Xenia looks like

Xenia is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Xenia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xenia?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xenia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xenia if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Vierbeiner in Not e.V. whether they will for Xenia, what they require (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 Xenia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Vierbeiner in Not e.V. lists Xenia as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Vierbeiner in Not e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Xenia isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Vierbeiner in Not e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xenia 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.
