Das ist Leo! About a year old, a probably quite successful Terrier-Dachshund mix and obviously of the opinion that life is much too exciting to take it slow. Optically, Leo is a small unique. Short legs, an elongated body, cream-colored shaggy fur, a wonderfully disheveled face and this bright, curious look. He looks a bit like someone crossed a Dachshund with a small, shaggy Terrier and then added a lot of good mood. 😄 And characteristically? A small whirlwind on four short legs! Leo is really funny, cheerful and with a lot of speed. He likes people, likes other dogs and in general his motto seems to be: the main thing is that there is something going on! His suspected breed mix fits quite well with his temperamental appearance. Terriers were originally bred for independent hunting of smaller animals and often bring a good portion of courage, curiosity and stubbornness. Dachshunds are also real hunting dogs despite their short legs, known for their independence, endurance and sometimes quite charming stubbornness. Whether Leo actually brings all these characteristics is yet to be seen. But what is already clear: this little guy has energy and wants to experience something! We wish Leo active people who are in the mood for joint adventures, offer him a meaningful physical and mental load and at the same time pay attention to the fact that he also learns the important shutdown and relaxation. Extensive sniffing walks, nose work, small search games and lovingly-consistent training would be exactly the right ingredients for a varied dog life. Due to its elongated body and short legs, attention should also be paid to a back-friendly everyday life. Leo may have short legs, but his joie de vivre apparently knows no bounds! Who is looking for a small, shaggy good mood guarantor who makes life a little more colorful? .fusion-body .fusion-button Interest in an adoption?

Das ist Leo! Etwa ein Jahr alt, ein vermutlich ziemlich gelungener Terrier-Dackel-Mischling und offensichtlich der Meinung, dass das Leben viel zu aufregend ist, um es langsam anzugehen. Optisch ist Leo sowieso ein kleines Unikat. Kurze Beinchen, ein langgezogener Körper, cremefarbenes Strubbelfell, ein herrlich zerzaustes Gesicht und dazu dieser wache, neugierige Blick. Ein bisschen sieht er aus, als hätte jemand einen Dackel mit einem kleinen zotteligen Terrier gekreuzt und anschließend ordentlich gute Laune darübergestreut. 😄 Und charakterlich? Ein kleiner Wirbelwind auf vier kurzen Beinen! Leo ist richtig lustig, fröhlich und mit ordentlich Speed unterwegs. Menschen findet er klasse, andere Hunde genauso und überhaupt scheint seine Devise zu lauten: Hauptsache, es ist etwas los! Seine vermutete Rassemischung passt durchaus zu seinem temperamentvollen Auftreten. Terrier wurden ursprünglich für die selbstständige Jagd auf kleinere Tiere gezüchtet und bringen häufig eine ordentliche Portion Mut, Neugier und Hartnäckigkeit mit. Auch Dackel sind trotz ihrer kurzen Beine echte Jagdhunde, die für ihre Eigenständigkeit, Ausdauer und ihren manchmal ziemlich charmanten Dickkopf bekannt sind. Ob Leo diese Eigenschaften tatsächlich alle mitbringt, wird sich zeigen. Was aber jetzt schon feststeht: Dieser kleine Kerl hat Energie und möchte etwas erleben! Für Leo wünschen wir uns aktive Menschen, die Lust auf gemeinsame Abenteuer haben, ihm eine sinnvolle körperliche und geistige Auslastung bieten und gleichzeitig darauf achten, dass er auch das wichtige Abschalten und Entspannen lernt. Ausgiebige Schnüffelspaziergänge, Nasenarbeit, kleine Suchspiele und liebevoll-konsequentes Training wären genau die richtigen Zutaten für ein abwechslungsreiches Hundeleben. Aufgrund seines langgezogenen Körperbaus und seiner kurzen Beine sollte außerdem auf einen rückenfreundlichen Alltag geachtet werden. Leo hat vielleicht kurze Beine, aber seine Lebensfreude kennt offenbar keine Grenzen! Wer sucht einen kleinen, zotteligen Gute-Laune-Garanten, der das Leben garantiert ein bisschen bunter macht? .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Nordic Strays 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. whether they will for Leo, what they require (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 Leo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Nordic Strays e.V. lists Leo as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Nordic Strays e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Leo isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
