How do I contact the shelter about Cacao?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cacao on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cacao if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Cacao 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 Cacao 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cacao 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.

Cacao

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Cacao breed: Mix Gender: male Born approximately March 2023 Shoulder height: 45 cm Compatible with dogs: yes Compatible with children: yes Compatible with cats: not tested Cacao had to survive on the street for a long time on his own. Securing him cost Animaleas a lot of time and nerves. And now that he is safe in the shelter and has gotten to know petting, life there is very difficult for him... because in the evenings the Animaleas go home. And he has to stay in the shelter. Although he is in the company of so many other animals, he has great difficulty being away from "his" people. That's why he urgently needs his own home - preferably one where someone is always there or he can come to the office. Cacao is simply enchanting: loving, calm, affectionate and considerate. He demands almost nothing except a person who can be with him all day. Then one day he will also be able to overcome his fear of loss. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, he also likes children, and walks are the best thing for him besides petting. Do you think Cacao would be a great fit for you and your couch? You know that he still has a lot to learn, and are willing to work with him and invest time and patience? Great! Check out our homepage and fill out the self-assessment! We will then contact you.

Cacao Rasse: Mix Geschlecht: männlich Geboren ca. März 2023 Schulterhöhe: 45 cm Verträglich mit Hunden: ja Verträglich mit Kindern: ja Verträglich mit Katzen: noch nicht getestet Cacao musste lange Zeit ganz auf sich allein gestellt auf der Straße überleben. Ihn zu sichern, kostete die Animaleas ordentlich Zeit und Nerven. Und nun, da er im Refugio in Sicherheit ist und Streicheleinheiten kennenlernen durfte, fällt ihm das Leben dort sehr schwer … denn abends gehen die Animaleas nach Hause. Und er muss im Refugio bleiben. Obwohl er in Gesellschaft so vieler anderer Tiere ist, hat er arge Schwierigkeiten damit, nicht in der Nähe „seiner“ Menschen zu sein. Deshalb braucht er ganz dringend ein eigenes Zuhause – am besten eines, wo immer jemand da ist oder er mit ins Büro kann. Cacao ist einfach bezaubernd: liebevoll, ruhig, verschmust und rücksichtsvoll. Er verlangt so gut wie nichts außer einer Person, die den ganzen Tag in seiner Nähe sein kann. Dann wird er eines Tages auch seine Verlustangst überwinden können. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er wunderbar zurecht, Kinder mag er auch, und Spaziergängen sind neben Streicheleinheiten das Größte für ihn. Du findest, dass Cacao prima zu Dir und Deinem Sofa passen würde? Du weißt, dass er noch viel lernen muss, und bist bereit, mit ihm zu arbeiten und Zeit und Geduld zu investieren? Klasse! Schau gleich auf unserer Homepage vorbei und fülle unter die Selbstauskunft aus! Wir setzen uns dann mit Dir in Verbindung.

About Cacao

What life with Cacao looks like

Cacao is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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.
