Adopt Fito

Male · Senior · 15 years

Fito would be happy to get a home of his own again. At 13 years old, he is by no means "old iron" yet. In his foster home, he is a popular, low-maintenance roommate, but he is taking up a spot that other poor souls desperately need. When asked about his characteristics, it's simply recommended to read the breed description and then pick up the phone.

Fito würde sich darüber freuen, wenn er nochmal ein eigenes Zuhause bekäme.Mit seinen 13 Jahren gehört er noch lange nicht zum "alten Eisen". In seiner Pflegestelle ist er ein beliebter, pflegeleichter Mitbewohner, blockiert aber halt einen Platz, den andere arme Socken dringend bräuchten. Nach seinen Eigenschaften befragt, kann man einfach empfehlen, sich die Rassebeschreibung durch zu lesen und dann zum Telefon zu greifen. Besand0175 6905216

About Fito

What life with Fito looks like

Fito is a senior dog waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fito, answered.

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