How do I contact the shelter about Leo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. 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 — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. 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?

Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

♂, born around May 2026—typical puppy behavior—friendly—social—in Bulgaria. Leo is a mixed-breed male dog born around May 2026 who is likely to grow into a large-sized dog. Leo and his siblings Kaya and Teo were rescued from an extremely dangerous situation: Found at the edge of a country road, they had hidden among bushes and kept running onto the roadway as cars sped by. It’s pure luck that the three were spotted in time and brought to safety. He’s a cheerful, curious puppy: playful, friendly, and simply adorable. With alert eyes, he explores his surroundings, bravely gathering new experiences—and then seeks closeness and security again to find peace and calm. According to current assessments, Leo will probably grow into a medium-sized dog. We’re looking for people who can show him—with time, patience, and loving consistency—how wonderful a safe life as a dog can be: being allowed to settle in, building trust, learning the basics of dog behavior, and gradually discovering the world without fear. Leo is looking for a home that doesn’t just take in a puppy, but offers a forever home to a little rescued life. Leo will be placed vaccinated and microchipped. He’s still too young for the Snap 4-D test and neutering. He’s currently located in Bulgaria. The adoption fee for Leo is 580 euros. Do you have a suitable home for Leo?

♂, geb. ca. 5/2026welpentypisch - freundlich - sozialin Bulgarien Leo ist ein ca. 5/2026 geborener Mischlingsrüde der vermutlich groß werden wird. Leo und seine Geschwister Kaya und Teo wurden aus einer äußerst gefährlichen Situation gerettet: Am Rand einer Landstraße entdeckt, hatten sie sich zwischen Büschen versteckt und liefen immer wieder auf die Fahrbahn, während Autos vorbeirasten. Es ist pures Glück, dass die drei rechtzeitig bemerkt und in Sicherheit gebracht wurden. Er ist ein fröhliches, neugieriges Hundebaby: verspielt, freundlich und dabei einfach zum Verlieben. Mit wachen Augen erkundet er seine Umgebung, sammelt mutig neue Eindrücke – und sucht danach wieder Nähe und Geborgenheit, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Nach aktueller Einschätzung wird Leo voraussichtlich zu einem mittelgroßen Hund heranwachsen. Für ihn wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihm mit Zeit, Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie schön ein sicheres Hundeleben sein kann: ankommen dürfen, Vertrauen fassen, das Hunde‑1x1 lernen und Schritt für Schritt die Welt entdecken – ohne Angst. Leo sucht ein Zuhause, das nicht nur einen Welpen aufnimmt, sondern einem kleinen geretteten Leben ein Für‑immer‑Zuhause schenkt. Leo wird geimpft und gechipt vermittelt. Für den Snap 4-D Test und die Kastration ist er noch zu jung. Er befindet sich in Bulgarien. Die Schutzgebühr für Leo beträgt 580 Euro. Sie haben ein passendes Zuhause für Leo?

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
