Adopt LEO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

LEO is a character-strong mixed-breed male dog who came to us due to biting incidents. Born on January 30, 2020, he currently weighs 22 kg with a shoulder height of 58 cm. He requires consistent and experienced handling, as he reacts insecurely in certain situations and needs clear rules. When it comes to female dogs, he generally gets along well, but with male dogs, his compatibility depends on their liking. Toward humans, LEO is very affectionate, cuddly, and playful, but he also displays a pronounced watch- and protect-drive. He tends to defend resources, which is why dog or breed experience is absolutely necessary. Additionally, LEO has a prey drive, so he should not be left unattended in his new environment. To feel comfortable, LEO needs both physical and mental stimulation.

About LEO

What life with LEO looks like

LEO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim München in Munich.

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 LEO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LEO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim München 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 München 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 München 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.
