Leif

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Leif, male / neutered Born: approx. 11/2025 Size: approx. 45–50 cm, 14–15 kg, likely to grow to a medium-to-large size (as of 13.06.) Location: Romania Departure: anytime Sponsorship: still available Leif deserves a second chance! Life has not been fair to him so far! He was found at a train station together with his siblings and without a mother. With no shelter there, the puppies were sitting in the dirt, left in the cold without food! Now he lives in free roaming in a large pack, gets along wonderfully with all dogs, and hopes to be seen! The young male is friendly and bright. Since he currently has very few environmental stimuli to learn from and process, he may be shy at first. For this reason, we are looking for animal-loving people who will adopt Leif and bring him gradually more into everyday life. This includes a safe and cozy home, but of course also training from the ground up. Leif will arrive in Germany with no prior knowledge of the basics of dog life. A first dog would be lovely, but is not a must. Foster homes are also welcome to apply for Leif. Would you like to be the second chance for Leif?

Das Leben war bis jetzt nicht fair zu ihm! Er wurde zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern und ohne Mutter an einem Bahnhof gefunden. Weil es dort keinen Unterschlupf gab, saßen die Welpen im Dreck. Ohne Futter der Kälte ausgesetzt! Nun lebt er im Freilauf im großen Rudel, kommt mit allen Hunden bestens zurecht und hofft darauf, gesehen zu werden! Der junge Rüde ist freundlich und aufgeweckt. Da er aktuell kaum Umweltreize zum lernen und verarbeiten hat, kann er anfangs schüchtern sein. Aus diesem Grund suchen wir tierliebe Menschen, die Leif adoptieren und ihn täglich mehr ins echte Leben führen. Dazu gehört zum einen ein sicheres und gemütliches Zuhause aber natürlich auch die Erziehung von Grund auf. Leif kommt ohne Vorkenntnisse in Sachen Hunde-ABC in Deutschland an. Ein Ersthund wäre schön, ist aber kein Muss. Für Leif dürfen sich gerne auch Pflegestellen bewerben. Möchtest Du die zweite Chance für Leif sein?

About Leif

What life with Leif looks like

Leif is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Stuttgart 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leif, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leif?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dog Rescue Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leif on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leif if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Rescue Stuttgart 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Leif 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 Leif 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 Dog Rescue Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leif 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.
