Diego

Unknown · Puppy

What we can report about Diego How did Diego end up at the animal shelter? Diego's owner could no longer take care of Diego after a separation and the birth of a baby, so she had to surrender him to our shelter. How does Diego behave at the shelter and on walks? In the first days at the shelter, Diego was, of course, confused and insecure. Nowadays, he has adapted well to the circumstances and is very friendly towards the dog caretakers and trainers. On walks, he still pulls on the leash and is very interested in his surroundings. Occasionally, he still reacts insecurely to unexpected stimuli. We are working on this with food rewards, trying to get him to focus more on the dog handler and to provide him with more security. In a familiar environment, Diego now shows himself to be very playful and lively.

Was wir über Diego berichten können Wie kam Diego ins Tierheim? Diego`s Besitzerin konnte sich nach einer Trennung und Geburt eines Babys nicht mehr weiter um Diego kümmern und übergab ihn deshalb an das Tierheim Dachau. Wie zeigt sich Diego im Tierheim und bei Spaziergängen? Die ersten Tage im Tierheim war Diego verständlicherweise verwirrt und unsicher. Mittlerweile hat er sich den Umständen entsprechend gut eingelebt und ist gegenüber den Hundepflegern und -trainern sehr freundlich. Beim Gassigehen zieht er noch an der Leine und ist sehr an der Umwelt interessiert. Bisweilen reagiert er hier noch unsicher auf überraschend auftauchende Reize. Mit Futterbelohnungen arbeiten wir hier daran, dass er sich mehr auf den Hundeführer focussiert und versuchen ihm mehr Sicherheit zu vermitteln. In gewohnter Umgebung zeigt sich Diego mittlerweile sehr lustig und auch verspielt. Impressionen von Diego Diego Januar 2026 – 1 Diego Januar 2026 – 2 Diego Januar 2026 – 3 Diego Januar 2026 – 6

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a puppy/kitten dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Dachau e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Diego, answered.

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