Adopt Cleo

Mixed Breed · Male

Cleo is a friendly, very open female dog who is absolutely people-oriented. She is very cuddly and learns new commands and tricks attentively. Exactly like that, she is also enthusiastic about playing and having fun. On the leash, she behaves well like a model dog and loves to walk in the green or accompany her humans while jogging. During walks, she always keeps an eye on making sure the "pack" stays together. She knows children of school age, masters her basic commands solidly, and travels well in the car. Cleo can easily be left alone for several hours. She likes male dogs much more than female dogs. She is HD-free according to the breeder and has a German Shepherd pedigree.

Read original (de)

Cleo ist eine freundliche, sehr aufgeschlossene Hündin, die absolut menschenbezogen ist. Sie ist absolut verschmust und lernt aufmerksam neue Befehle und Tricks. Genau so ist sie aber für Toben und Quatsch machen zu begeistern. An der Leine geht sie brav wie ein Vorzeigehund und liebt es, im Grünen spazieren zu gehen oder ihre Menschen beim Joggen zu begleiten. Beim Gassi gehen hat sie immer ein Auge darauf, dass das „Rudel“ zusammenbleibt. Sie kennt Kinder im Schulalter, beherrscht ihre Grundkommandos solide und fährt gut im Auto mit. Cleo kann problemlos einige Stunden alleine bleiben. Sie mag Rüden sehr viel mehr als Hündinnen. Sie ist laut Züchter HD-frei und besitzt eine Schäferhund-Ahnentafel.

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Cleo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cleo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. 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 — Tierhilfe Franken 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 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. 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?
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.
