Leon

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Majestic, affectionate and ready for his pack - Leon is looking for a home His light brown coat, the slight mane around his neck and his upright posture make him unmistakable. Whoever sees Leon for the first time must inevitably smile - he corresponds so much to his name. Leon was born on 02.09.2024 and came to the animal shelter in September 2026. He was found in a park. He is neutered, about 55 cm tall and weighs around 20 kg - a stately dog who makes a pleasantly calm overall impression despite his presence. Alert and curious, he perceives his surroundings without appearing hectic or restless. Leon is very social and affectionate with people. He actively seeks closeness and clearly enjoys being with you. He also meets other dogs friendly and openly. He already accepts the leash - as a house dog he will still need some practice and patience, but the foundation is there. We wish Leon a quiet, loving home where he can get to know the daily routine of a pet in peace. People who enjoy a large, affectionate dog and give him the time he needs to really settle in.

Majestätisch, verschmust und bereit für sein Rudel – Leon sucht ein Zuhause Sein hellbraunes Fell, die leichte Mähne um den Hals und seine aufrechte Haltung machen ihn unverwechselbar. Wer Leon zum ersten Mal sieht, muss unweigerlich lächeln – so sehr entspricht er seinem Namen. Leon ist am 02.09.2024 geboren und kam im September 2026 ins Tierheim. Er wurde in einem Park gefunden. Er ist kastriert, ca. 55 cm groß und bringt rund 20 kg auf die Waage – ein stattlicher Hund, der trotz seiner Präsenz einen angenehm ruhigen Gesamteindruck macht. Aufgeweckt und neugierig nimmt er seine Umgebung wahr, ohne dabei hektisch oder unruhig zu wirken. Mit Menschen ist Leon sehr sozial und verschmust. Er sucht aktiv die Nähe und genießt es sichtlich, wenn man bei ihm ist. Auch anderen Hunden begegnet er freundlich und offen. Die Leine akzeptiert er bereits – als Haushund wird er noch etwas Übung und Geduld brauchen, aber die Grundlage ist da. Für Leon wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er den Alltag eines Haustieres in aller Ruhe kennenlernen darf. Menschen, die Freude an einem großen, verschmusten Hund haben und ihm die Zeit geben, die er braucht, um wirklich anzukommen.

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Leon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leon?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 — Tierschutzverein Europa 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 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 Tierschutzverein Europa 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
