Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Hungarian Vizsla * April 1, 2025 – brown – male – neutered – medium-sized – approx. 20 kg; compatible with children: yes; compatible with larger dogs: no; suitable as a second dog: yes; in the shelter since: 12/2025 Hello, I’m Leo! I’m a wirehaired Vizsla and full of energy. Curious, I explore my surroundings, always up for an adventure, and with my cheerful, clumsy nature, I regularly bring a smile to people’s faces. Sometimes I can be a bit chaotic and easily get distracted by exciting smells or new impressions. But when conditions are right and there’s not too much going on around me, I can really focus on my human companion. I love learning, work enthusiastically, and enjoy tasks where we can team up together. As a Vizsla, I naturally bring plenty of joy in movement, a strong hunting instinct, and an excellent nose. That’s why I’d like people who enjoy being outdoors and are eager to challenge me both physically and mentally. Whether it’s tracking, mantrailing, or other forms of nose work—I’d definitely have a lot of fun with those. But just as important as shared adventures is learning to find calmness. I benefit when my humans help me approach tasks with concentration and without rushing, showing me that relaxation is just as much a part of everyday life as action. I get along well with other dogs. My best buddy at the shelter is Ares—we couldn’t be more different, but opposites do attract, after all. For my new home, I’m looking for active people who share my enthusiasm for exercise and nature, who’ll support and challenge me with patience, while also remembering to cherish the quiet moments. Because after an exciting day, I equally love cuddling with my humans and simply relaxing together. If you’re looking for a joyful companion who wants to explore the world with you and grow into a well-coordinated team together, I’d love to meet you.

Magyar-Vizsla * 01.04.2025 – braun – männlich – kastriert – mittel – ca. 20 kg verträglich mit Kindern: ja, größere verträglich mit Katzen: nein als Zweithund geeignet: ja im Tierheim seit: 12 / 2025 Hallo, ich bin Leo! Ich bin ein Rauhaar-Viszla und stecke voller Energie. Neugierig erkunde ich meine Umwelt, bin immer für ein Abenteuer zu haben und sorge mit meiner fröhlichen, tollpatschigen Art regelmäßig für den einen oder anderen Schmunzler. Manchmal bin ich dabei noch etwas chaotisch und lasse mich schnell von spannenden Gerüchen oder neuen Eindrücken ablenken. Wenn die Bedingungen stimmen und nicht zu viel um mich herum passiert, kann ich mich aber richtig gut auf meinen Menschen konzentrieren. Ich lerne gerne, arbeite motiviert mit und freue mich über Aufgaben, bei denen wir als Team zusammenarbeiten. Als Viszla bringe ich rassebedingt viel Bewegungsfreude, Jagdtrieb und eine ausgezeichnete Nase mit. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind und Lust haben, mich sowohl körperlich als auch geistig auszulasten. Ob Fährtenarbeit, Mantrailing oder andere Formen der Nasenarbeit – ich hätte bestimmt großen Spaß daran. Genauso wichtig wie gemeinsame Abenteuer ist für mich aber auch, Ruhe zu lernen. Ich profitiere davon, wenn meine Menschen mir helfen, Aufgaben konzentriert und ohne Hektik anzugehen und mir zeigen, dass Entspannung genauso zum Alltag gehört wie Action. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht. Mein bester Kumpel im Tierheim ist Ares – wir könnten unterschiedlicher kaum sein, aber Gegensätze ziehen sich eben an. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir aktive Menschen, die meine Begeisterung für Bewegung und die Natur teilen, mich mit Geduld fördern und fordern und dabei auch die ruhigen Momente nicht vergessen. Denn nach einem spannenden Tag genieße ich es genauso, mit meinen Menschen zu kuscheln und einfach gemeinsam zu entspannen. Wenn du einen lebensfrohen Begleiter suchst, der mit dir die Welt entdecken möchte und mit dem ihr gemeinsam zu einem eingespielten Team wachsen könnt, freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Dein Leo Weitere Bilder und Videos: ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder Noch mehr Hunde finden Sie in der Rubrik Hunde .

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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 Göppingen 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 Göppingen 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 Göppingen 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.
