Leon

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Leon came to us as a seizure by the City of Bochum's Department of Public Order and is now allowed to find a new suitable home from here. Unfortunately, we have no information about the dog. But he shows himself to be a very affectionate and friendly dog here. Leon probably cannot be left alone, as he cries very loudly here when we leave him.

DE·Show original

Leon kam als Sicherstellung durch das Ordnungsamt der Stadt Bochum zu uns und darf nun von hier aus sich ein neues passendes Zuhause suchen. Leider haben wir keine Informationen zum Hund erhalten. Aber er zeigt sich hier als ein sehr anhänglicher und freundlicher Hund. Leon kann wahrscheinlich nicht alleine bleiben, da er hier sehr laut weint, wenn wir uns von ihm entfernen.

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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 Leon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leon?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Bochum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leon if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bochum 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 Leon 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 Leon 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 Bochum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leon 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.
