Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Leo ist ein sensibler und freundlicher Rüde mit einem ruhigen Wesen. Neue Situationen beobachtet er zunächst aufmerksam und begegnet ihnen eher vorsichtig. Gleichzeitig ist er lernfähig und kann sich gut an neue Abläufe gewöhnen, wenn man ihm Zeit und Sicherheit gibt. In seiner Pflegestelle hat er sich gut eingelebt, kennt den Alltag und feste Strukturen, ist stubenrein und geht zuverlässig spazieren. An der Leine läuft er brav und orientiert sich gut an seinem Menschen. Auch Autofahrten meistert Leo ruhig und gelassen. Pflege und notwendige Tierarztmaßnahmen lässt er geduldig über sich ergehen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich sehr gut und spielt gerne mit ihnen. Katzen begegnet er ruhig und zeigt ihnen gegenüber wenig Interesse. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist Leo zunächst zurückhaltend. Besonders Männern gegenüber braucht er etwas länger, um Vertrauen zu fassen, während er Frauen meist schneller offen und anhänglich begegnet. Mit Geduld, freundlicher Ansprache und gemeinsamen positiven Erlebnissen taut er jedoch auf. Ein ruhiger Umgang hilft ihm, Sicherheit zu gewinnen und sich immer mehr zu öffnen. Leo hat in seinem bisherigen Leben nicht immer die Sicherheit erfahren, die er gebraucht hätte. Inzwischen kennt er liebevolle Fürsorge und feste Strukturen und kann darauf aufbauen. Für ihn wünschen wir uns Menschen, die seine vorsichtige Art verstehen und ihm erlauben, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause mit verlässlichen Bezugspersonen würde ihm dabei helfen, weiter Vertrauen zu entwickeln. Vielleicht bist du der Mensch, der Leo mit Geduld und Ruhe zeigt, dass er sich endlich auf seine Menschen verlassen darf.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV in Jessen (Elster).

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV 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 — Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV 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.
