Lio

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Tito, Fido & Lio are the three young dogs from the last confiscation case where dogs were breeding uncontrollably. Fido & Lio are siblings and the two larger ones in the pack. We don't know how big they will eventually get, but we suspect they will be around the size of a medium Spitz. Lio is a lively and cheerful young male who loves to play, romp, and engage in little squabbles with his fellow dogs. As is typical for a young dog, he likes to test his limits and explore his surroundings with all his senses. We are looking for people who are willing to embark on the adventure of raising a young dog and who have the necessary time, patience, and mental and financial resources to do so. Especially at the beginning, it is important to focus on consistent training, as Lio is still at the beginning and needs to learn many things. Equally important for him are physical exercise and tasks that also challenge his mind. This is the only way he can learn to calm down and develop into a balanced dog. His future owners should enjoy accompanying him on his journey, while also having the perseverance and understanding to do so. Lio gets along very well with other young dogs. Having a playful companion by his side would be nice for him.

Tito, Fido & Lio sind die drei Junghunde aus dem letzten Beschlagnahmungsfall, wo sich Hunde unkontrolliert vermehrt haben. Fido & Lio sind Geschwister und die beiden größeren in der Bande. Wie groß sie am Ende werden wissen wir nicht aber wir vermuten, dass sie etwa Mittelspitzgröße werden. Lio ist ein aufgeweckter und fröhlicher junger Rüde, der seine Zeit am liebsten mit Spielen, Toben und kleinen Rangeleien mit seinen Artgenossen verbringt. Wie es sich für einen Junghund gehört, probiert er gerne aus, wo seine Grenzen liegen und entdeckt seine Umgebung neugierig mit allen Sinnen. Für Lio wünschen wir uns Menschen, die sich bewusst auf das Abenteuer Junghund einlassen und die nötige Zeit, Geduld sowie mentale und finanzielle Ressourcen dafür mitbringen. Gerade zu Beginn sollte viel Wert auf eine konsequente Erziehung gelegt werden, denn Lio steht noch ganz am Anfang und muss vieles erst kennenlernen. Ebenso wichtig sind für ihn eine passende körperliche Auslastung und Aufgaben, die ihn auch geistig fordern. Nur so kann er lernen, zur Ruhe zu kommen und sich zu einem ausgeglichenen Hund zu entwickeln. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, ihn auf seinem Weg zu begleiten, gleichzeitig aber auch Durchhaltevermögen und Verständnis mitbringen. Mit anderen jungen Hunden kommt Lio sehr gut zurecht. Ein verspielter Artgenosse an seiner Seite wäre für ihn daher durchaus schön. Eine

About Lio

What life with Lio looks like

Lio is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Spitz und Pawtners e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lio, answered.

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