Lio

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Lio kam als Notfall zu unseren Partnern nach Rumänien. Er wurde auf der Straße gefunden und konnte seine Beine kaum bewegen. Vor allem seine Hinterbeine waren betroffen und seitlich abgespreizt – eine Einschränkung, die als Schwimmer-Syndrom bezeichnet wird. Seitdem hat Lio schon einiges hinter sich. Mit Lasertherapie und Übungen in der Badewanne wurde fleißig daran gearbeitet, dass er seine Beine besser bewegen kann. Und tatsächlich: Aus einem kleinen Kerl, der anfangs kaum laufen konnte, ist inzwischen ein Welpe geworden, der sich schon richtig gut fortbewegt. Noch ist sein Gang etwas wackelig, vor allem hinten, aber die Fortschritte sind deutlich. Lio selbst lässt sich davon jedenfalls nicht aufhalten. Er ist ein offener, freundlicher kleiner Kerl, der neugierig seine Umgebung erkundet und die Welt kennenlernen möchte. Seine Beine machen noch nicht immer so mit, wie sie sollen, aber das hält ihn nicht davon ab, ein ganz normaler Welpe zu sein. Die Behandlung von Lio ist mit einigen Kosten verbunden. Deshalb freuen wir uns über jede Spende oder Patenschaft, die uns dabei hilft, die Tierarzt- und Behandlungskosten aufzufangen. Vielen Dank an alle, die Lio dabei unterstützen!

About Lio

What life with Lio looks like

Lio is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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. Waisenhunde 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 — 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. 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 Waisenhunde 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
