Bodo (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Bodo, a dog with a zest for life, love, and energy, was discovered by our German animal welfare colleague Bodo in Romania in May 2025. Her first sentence was, "You just have to take him in..." And a year later, she met him again, her heart filled with sadness. BODO? With stormy joy!! Because that's BODO: a bundle of life, love, and energy on four paws. Bodo is one of the dogs that were found as puppies - but somehow never seen... He has been living in the animal shelter for over 5 years (!!) Without a home... without a family... without a real life... In a kennel with his 3 sisters, who are all extremely friendly dogs. But Bodo is such a special dog... Extremely friendly and gentle. When you enter his kennel, the joy is boundless - no matter who. He likes everyone! Treats are great, but leaning against a person and being cuddled is even better. Friendly, people-oriented, cheerful Our colleague couldn't forget him... She went back to him again and again... always back to his kennel. She didn't want to make him a promise... and would have loved to... He lives in the private animal shelter of the Ador association in the Romanian city of Botosani. The people there are good to him, but there is no time and always that view from the bars... Please don't look away... Share him... help him... give him a voice. Who will finally give Bodo a home? BODO... we won't give up on you! Bodo is spayed, vaccinated multiple times, dewormed, chipped, and of course has an EU passport when he leaves.

Im Mai 2025 entdeckte unsere deutsche Tierschutzkollegin Bodo in Rumänien Und ihr erster Satz war: „DEN müsst ihr einfach aufnehmen…“ Und ein Jahr später traf sie ihn dort wieder. Sie mit traurigem Herzen. BODO? Mit stürmischer Freude!! Denn das ist BODO: Geballte Lebensfreude, Liebe und Energie auf vier Pfoten Bodo gehört zu den Hunden, die als Welpen gefunden wurden – aber irgendwie nie gesehen wurden… Er lebt seit über 5 Jahren (!!) im Tierheim Über 5 Jahre ohne Zuhause… ohne Familie… ohne richtiges Leben… In einem Zwinger mit seinen 3 Schwestern, die im Übrigen alle extrem freundliche Hunde sind. Dabei ist Bodo so ein besonderer Hund… Extrem freundlich und sanft Kommt man in seinen Zwinger ist die Freude unbändig – egal wer. Er mag jeden! Leckerchen sind toll, aber an einen Menschen lehnen und geschmust werden ist noch besser. Freundlich, menschenbezogen, fröhlich Unsere Kollegin konnte ihn nicht vergessen… Sie ging immer wieder zu ihm… immer wieder zurück zu seinem Zwinger Sie wollte ihm kein Versprechen machen… und hätte es doch sto gerne getan… Er lebt im privaten Tierheim des Vereins Ador in der rumänischen Stadt Botosani. Dort sind die Menschen gut zu ihm, aber es ist keine Zeit und immer diese Sicht aus den Gittern… Bitte schaut nicht weg… Teilt ihn… helft ihm… gebt ihm eine Stimme. Wer schenkt Bodo endlich ein Zuhause? BODO… wir geben dich nicht auf! BODO ist bei Ausreise kastriert, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises.

About Bodo (m)

What life with Bodo (m) looks like

Bodo (m) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

An 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 Bodo (m), answered.

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