Adopt Zander

Bernese Mountain Dog · Male · Senior · 9 years

The dear Zander lived in an overseas animal shelter before he could set up his foster kennel with BSiN. In his foster home, Zander shows himself to be a very loving and friendly little fellow. The lovely senior is enjoying the human proximity to the fullest. Zander gets along very well with the female dog living in the foster home. In the garden, everything is explored by Zander in peace. Long walks on a loose leash are super exciting for the older gentleman. Zander also travels comfortably in the car. However, Zander needs some assistance when getting in. We are looking for people who would like to give the older treasure the long-awaited love and care they deserve. Foster location: Near Bremen From experience, we know that our shelter animals continue to develop every day in their foster placements. You can follow the further development of the BSiN shelter animal in the foster home diary. Important:

About Zander

What life with Zander looks like

Zander is a senior bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Berner Sennenhunde in Not e.V. in Nümbrecht.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Zander, answered.

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