Bodo

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Bodo was found all alone by attentive people. The mother or any siblings were nowhere to be seen. Since the finders could not look after the little mixed-breed themselves, they asked our Romanian animal welfare colleagues Adelina and Dorin for help, who took the puppy in. The little guy truly needed help. Being so young and on his own, his chances of surviving life on the street were not good. In addition, Bodo was suffering from mange, a skin disease caused by parasites. The medical treatment is progressing well, and Bodo's skin has already improved noticeably. The little male patiently accepts all the necessary therapies. Bodo currently lives in the dog group with Adelina and Dorin at their house. Typically for a puppy, he is open and friendly, and he keeps seeking contact with his four-legged housemates, who happily join him in play. Curious and attentive, Bodo explores his surroundings. He also greets people with interest, affection, and great friendliness. Based on his appearance, we suspect Bodo may be a Dachshund mix. Prospective owners should be aware that this little male – as cute as he is – may also have the independent streak typical of Dachshunds. If you are convinced that a Dachshund or Dachshund mix is a perfect fit for your life, Bodo is waiting for you! We look forward to hearing from you!

Bodo wurde von aufmerksamen Menschen ganz allein aufgefunden. Die Mutter oder eventuelle Geschwister waren nirgends zu sehen. Da sich die Finder nicht selbst um den kleinen Mischling kümmern konnten, baten sie unsere rumänischen Tierschutzkollegen Adelina und Dorin um Hilfe, die den Welpen bei sich aufnahmen. Der kleine Mann hatte Hilfe wahrlich nötig. So jung auf sich allein gestellt, stehen die Chancen, das Leben auf der Straße zu überstehen, nicht gut. Außerdem litt Bodo an Räude, einer durch Parasiten verursachten Hautkrankheit. Die medizinische Behandlung verläuft positiv, und Bodos Hautbild hat sich bereits deutlich gebessert. Der kleine Rüde lässt alle notwendigen Therapien geduldig zu. Bodo lebt aktuell in der Hundegruppe bei Adelina und Dorin am Haus. Welpentypisch aufgeschlossen und freundlich, sucht er immer wieder Kontakt zu seinen vierbeinigen Mitbewohnern, die sich gern auf ein Spiel mit ihm einlassen. Neugierig und aufmerksam erkundet Bodo seine Umwelt. Auch Menschen begegnet der Welpe interessiert, zugewandt und sehr freundlich. Aufgrund seines Aussehens vermuten wir, dass Bodo ein Dackelmischling sein könnte. Den zukünftigen Haltern sollte bewusst sein, dass der kleine Rüde – so niedlich er auch ist – möglicherweise auch den für Dackel typischen eigenen Kopf mitbringt. Wenn Sie überzeugt sind, dass ein Dackel bzw. Dackelmischling genau in Ihr Leben passt – Bodo wartet auf Sie! Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anfrage!

About Bodo

What life with Bodo looks like

Bodo is a small puppy dachshund dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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 Bodo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bodo?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Waisenhunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bodo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bodo 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 Waisenhunde e.V. whether they will for Bodo, 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 Bodo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Waisenhunde e.V. lists Bodo as not yet neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Waisenhunde 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 Bodo isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Waisenhunde 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 Bodo 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.
