Adopt Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Leo, a terrier mix, male dog, neutered, born on 01.01.2024, is a friendly young dog who at first reacts somewhat shyly to new people and situations. Once Leo has built trust, however, he quickly warms up and shows that he enjoys being out with his person. He takes pleasure in exploring new things and experiencing them together. Leo still has a lot to learn and is at the beginning of many areas. Everyday life, rules, and new impressions are still somewhat new to him. Therefore, we are looking for people who can give him the necessary security with calmness, patience, and clear guidance and gradually introduce him to everything. For Leo, we wish for a home where there is joy in working with a young dog and where he can be meaningfully engaged both physically and mentally.

Leo, Terriermischling, Rüde, kastriert, geb. 01.01.2024 Leo ist ein freundlicher junger Hund, der anfangs noch etwas schüchtern auf neue Menschen und Situationen reagiert. Hat Leo aber erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, taut er schnell auf und zeigt, dass er gerne mit seinem Menschen unterwegs ist. Er hat Freude daran, Neues zu erkunden und gemeinsam etwas zu erleben. Leo muss noch viel lernen und steht in vielen Bereichen noch am Anfang. Alltag, Regeln und neue Eindrücke sind für ihn teilweise noch Neuland. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn Menschen, die ihm mit Ruhe, Geduld und klarer Führung die nötige Sicherheit geben und ihn Schritt für Schritt an alles heranführen. Für Leo wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem man Freude daran hat, mit einem jungen Hund zu arbeiten und ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig sinnvoll zu beschäftigen.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

An young 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 Leo, answered.

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