adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Arlo has found a home! His story: The wonderful Arlo is finally free from the chain – now he just needs his dream home. The one-and-a-half-year-old Arlo had known nothing but a life on a chain – no running, no playing, no love. Day after day, the same dreary spot. But somehow, he managed to break free and turned up in the garden of a family who rescues animals. There, he simply stayed, as if instinctively knowing he needed help. His owner could be found, but didn't want to take back the male dog. A blessing for Arlo, because now he at least has the chance for a much better life. Currently, Arlo lives in a Romanian shelter and turns out to be the kind of dog you could only wish for. He is extremely friendly and likes human proximity. He enjoys being stroked and will even lie on his back to have his belly scratched. He gets along well with other dogs, and even accepts cats. Generally, Arlo seems more submissive, not wanting to be a burden to anyone. Arlo has beautiful, bright fur, especially highlighted by his dark muzzle. With a shoulder height of about 50 cm and a weight of around 25 kg, he is a well-built, medium-sized mixed-breed male dog. Since Arlo has never known life as a family dog, he still has a lot to learn – from dealing with new situations to house training and leash walking. But he is smart, eager to learn, and full of energy. It's likely that he carries hound genes, meaning he not only wants to be physically challenged but also mentally stimulated. Walks, shared activities, and targeted training, perhaps even in a good dog training class, will help him adapt to his new life. Our Arlo is looking for people who will show him that a dog's life can be more than a chain – a home where he is loved and nurtured, where he is not just tolerated but welcomed. Whoever gives him a chance will be rewarded with a loyal friend who has a lot to give. Who has fallen in love with Arlo and wants to help him start a new life? A foster home would also be a great support for him. Many heartfelt thanks, Franzi, for naming him. As of: 16.02. This animal is vaccinated. This animal is microchipped.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Arlo hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Der wunderbare Arlo ist endlich die Kette los – jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch sein Traumzuhause. Der 1,5-jährige Arlo kannte nichts außer einem Leben an der Kette – kein Rennen, kein Spielen, keine Liebe. Tag für Tag derselbe trostlose Platz. Doch irgendwie gelang es ihm, sich loszureißen, und er tauchte im Garten der Eltern einer Tierschützerin auf. Dort blieb er einfach, als wüsste er instinktiv, dass er Hilfe brauchte. Sein Besitzer konnte zwar ausfindig gemacht werden, wollte den Rüden aber nicht zurück. Ein Glück für Arlo, denn nun hat er zumindest die Chance auf ein viel besseres Leben. Aktuell lebt Arlo in einer rumänischen Auffangstation und entpuppt sich dort als ein Hund, wie man ihn sich nur wünschen kann. Er ist überaus freundlich und mag die menschliche Nähe. Es gefällt ihm, gestreichelt zu werden, und um das zu zeigen, legt er sich gerne auf den Rücken, damit auch sein Bauch gekrault werden kann. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut, und sogar Katzen akzeptiert er. Allgemein scheint Arlo eher unterwürfig zu sein, als wolle er niemandem zur Last fallen. Arlo hat ein wunderschönes, helles Fell, das besonders durch seine dunkler abgesetzte Schnauze zur Geltung kommt. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von ungefähr 50 cm und einem Gewicht von rund 25 kg ist er ein gut gebauter, mittelgroßer Mischlingsrüde. Da Arlo das Leben als Familienhund nicht kennt, muss er noch einiges lernen – vom Umgang mit neuen Situationen über die Stubenreinheit bis hin zur Leinenführigkeit. Doch er ist klug, lernwillig und voller Energie. Vermutlich trägt er Hütehund-Gene in sich, was bedeutet, dass er nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch geistig gefordert werden möchte. Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Aktivitäten und gezieltes Training, vielleicht sogar in einer guten Hundeschule, werden ihm helfen, in sein neues Leben hineinzuwachsen. Unser Arlo sucht Menschen, die ihm zeigen, dass ein Hundeleben mehr sein kann als eine Kette – ein Zuhause, in dem er geliebt und gefördert wird, in dem er nicht nur geduldet, sondern willkommen ist. Wer ihm eine Chance gibt, wird mit einem treuen Freund belohnt, der viel zu geben hat. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr in Höhe von 500 Euro reist Arlo kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis. Wer hat sich in Arlo verliebt und möchte ihm helfen, ein neues Leben zu beginnen? Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre für ihn eine große Unterstützung. Vielen herzlichen Dank, Franzi, dass du ihm einen Namen geschenkt hast. Stand: 16.02.2025

About Arlo

What life with Arlo looks like

Arlo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Arlo, answered.

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