Boris

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Boris is a friendly, curious and active young dog full of joie de vivre, who loves to move and explore his environment. In addition to his great sense of adventure, he is very sensitive, perceives human moods and wants to please. Since the world is an adventure playground for him, he is still easily distracted in everyday life and acts quite unruly due to his age. The dog's basics as well as calm and focus must still be patiently worked on with him. We are looking for active people with calm, consistent leadership and a safe environment. If you are specifically interested in one of our animals, please send us an email with the completed pre-application form or contact us via our contact form. Please be sure to include a callback number. Please do not come without an appointment!

DE·Show original

Boris ist ein freundlicher, neugieriger und aktiver Junghund voller Lebensfreude, der sich gerne bewegt und seine Umwelt erkundet. Neben seinem großen Unternehmungsgeist zeigt er sich sehr sensibel, nimmt menschliche Stimmungen wahr und möchte gefallen. Da die Welt für ihn ein Abenteuerspielplatz ist, lässt er sich im Alltag noch leicht ablenken und agiert altersbedingt recht ungestüm. Das Hunde-Einmaleins sowie Ruhe und Fokussierung müssen mit ihm noch geduldig erarbeitet werden. Gesucht werden aktive Menschen mit ruhiger, konsequenter Führung und sicherem Umfeld. Senden Sie uns bei konkretem Interesse an einem unserer Tiere eine E-Mail mit der vollständig ausgefüllten Interessentenvoranfrage an oder kontaktieren Sie uns bei Fragen über unser Kontaktformular. Bitte geben Sie unbedingt eine Rückrufnummer an. Bitte kommen Sie nicht ohne Termin!

About Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oelzschau in Oelzschau.

An young 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 Boris, answered.

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