How do I contact the shelter about Cleo?

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

Can I adopt Cleo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Fulda 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 Cleo 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 Cleo 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 Fulda early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cleo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Cleo

Podenco · Female · Senior · 10 years

Start / Animals / Dogs / female dog / Cleo (at a foster home)Cleo (at a foster home)05.2024. Breed: Podenco-Mix. Gender: female dog, spayedAge: 03.2016Shoulder height: ca. 45-50 cm Categories: Dogs, female dog, Animals Description Cleo came to us because her owner unfortunately could no longer take care of her. She is an absolute ray of sunshine, a bit shy at first, but very fond of people. She is absolutely easy to care for, likes other dogs, and also gets along with cats. However, due to her breed, she has a certain prey drive and will go into high gear with mice and squirrels. She is very active and likes to be challenged. Since she was very ill and had a serious bacterial infection until recently, she must be pampered at least for the moment. She has lost a lot of weight and needs to be revitalized first. Training still needs to be worked on regarding her leash behavior; currently, she pulls very hard on the leash and requires some strength to hold her. However, she takes to training and consistent handling well. She can be left alone for a certain amount of time, but can also open doors. Caution is advised. If something doesn't go fast enough or she gets bored, she will whine. This should also be worked on. Children should be a bit older. Cleo (at a foster home)05.2024. Breed: Podenco-Mix.

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a senior podenco dog waiting at Tierheim Fulda in Fulda.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
