Leone

Border Collie · Male · Puppy

Leone is a Border Collie–Maremmano mix who has been living at our partner animal shelter since April 2026. From the moment we visited, he quickly won our hearts. He visibly enjoyed the change: people who gave him attention, played with him, and cuddled with him. Leone is a dog who simply wants to please. He approaches people without any fear, and he can be enthusiastic about just about anything. We visited him again in August and had to note that he has lost a lot of weight. His temperament and friendliness have remained, but the shelter life is probably affecting him more than we thought. For Leone, we are looking for people with dog experience and a garden. They should be aware that Leone needs training and encouragement so that he can become a wonderful companion. A female dog may live in the household. Children should be 14 years or older. Do you have any questions? Then please feel free to contact us without obligation. All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated before departure, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German state veterinary office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Leone ist ein Bordercollie-Maremmano-Mix, der seit April 2026 in unserem Kooperationstierheim lebt. Bei unserem Besuch schlich er sich sofort in unsere Herzen. Er freute sich sichtlich über die Abwechslung: Menschen, die ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenkten, die mit ihm spielen und kuscheln. Leone ist ein Hund, der einfach nur gefallen möchte. Er geht ohne Ängste auf Menschen zu und man kann ihn für alles begeistern. Wir haben ihn im August wieder besucht und mussten feststellen, dass er sehr abgenommen hat. Sein Gemüt und seine Freundlichkeit sind geblieben, aber wahrscheinlich setzt ihm das Tierheimleben mehr zu als gedacht. Wir suchen für Leone Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten. Sie sollten sich bewusst sein, dass Leone erzogen und gefördert werden muss, damit aus ihm ein toller Begleiter wird. Gerne kann eine Hündin im Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten schon 14 Jahre oder älter sein. Haben Sie Fragen? Dann nehmen sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Leone

What life with Leone looks like

Leone is an extra-large puppy border collie dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leone, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leone?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leone on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leone if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Leone, what they require (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 Leone already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Leone as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Leone isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leone 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.
