Leonardo

Border Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

Leonardo fand sich als Welpe mit seinen vier Geschwistern in einem Sack vor dem Shelter unserer rumänischen Tierschutzkollegin Cristina wieder. Irgendjemand hat den ganzen Wurf dort „entsorgt“. Wie alle seine Geschwister ist Leo mit Cristinas Hilfe dennoch ein sehr freundlicher und menschenbezogener Hund geworden. Auch mit Artgenossen und selbst mit Katzen ist er gut verträglich. Junghundtypisch hat er natürlich noch sehr viel Energie und eine Menge (mehr oder weniger gute) Ideen, die in die richtigen Bahnen gelenkt werden müssen. Da er fast sein ganzes bisheriges Leben im Shelter verbracht hat, kennt er weder das Leben in einem Haushalt noch die für uns alltäglichen und gewohnten Umweltsituationen und -reize. Da er aber sehr intelligent und neugierig ist, bringt er beste Voraussetzungen mit, um mit der richtigen Anleitung durch seine Menschen alles zu lernen, was für ein glückliches Mensch-Hund-Team nötig ist.

About Leonardo

What life with Leonardo looks like

Leonardo is a small young adult border collie dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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 Leonardo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leonardo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Waisenhunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leonardo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leonardo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Waisenhunde 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Leonardo 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 Leonardo 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 Waisenhunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leonardo 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.
