Leon

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

Born: ca. 2011/2012 Breed: Sharpei-mixed breed compatibility with others: Gets along well with female dogs by sympathy; with male dogs rather no. Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Reason for surrender: The owner has passed away. Leon is a very dear treasure. His beloved master has unfortunately passed away, he has lost his home. Reluctantly, he had to be brought to the animal shelter because there is no one else in the family. He is suffering very much, is often quiet and lethargic, and finds it hard to cope with the situation. We hope very much that the animal shelter is only a short interim station for him. A very loving Fellnase. LEON would like to live as a single dog in his new home.

Geboren: ca. 2011/2012 Rasse: Sharpei-Mischling Verträglichkeit: Mit Hündinnen nach Sympathie; Rüden eher nein. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Halter ist verstorben. Leon ist ein ganz lieber Schatz. Sein geliebtes Herrchen ist leider verstorben, er hat sein Zuhause verloren. Schweren Herzens musste er ins Tierheim gebracht werden da es niemanden mehr gibt in der Familie. Er leidet sehr, ist oft still und lethargisch, kommt nur schwer mit der Situation klar. Wir hoffen sehr, dass das Tierheim nur eine kurze Zwischenstation für ihn ist. Eine ganz liebe Fellnase. LEON möchte gerne als Einzelhund in seinem neuen Zuhause leben.

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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.
