How do I contact the shelter about Matteo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. og:image handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Matteo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matteo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — og:image 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 Matteo 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 Matteo 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 og:image early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matteo 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.

Matteo

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

*July 2020 | 58cm | 35kg | animal shelter Rhodos This friendly cuddly bear is simply a fine fellow all around. ✨ He gets along well with female dogs and most male dogs, but can be a bit cautious with some male dogs at first – no wonder, as he had to unfortunately make some bad experiences and was injured by a male dog. His ear even got severely inflamed and a small piece had to be removed, but today one hardly notices it anymore.👍🏼 Despite this, he has kept his cheerful and loving nature. He loves cozy walks, runs nicely on the leash, and enjoys every bit of attention and cuddle time.🧡 He has also always shown patience and social behavior when it comes to other dogs, even puppies. In total, he is a uncomplicated and content dog who simply likes to be around. Only when it comes to food, he is a bit too enthusiastic – a few grams less wouldn't hurt him. 🤭🐾 Super cuddly. Cuddling is simply the best. Walks calmly on the leash. Gets along with other dogs, currently lives with a female dog. PAW HEROES e.V. Email: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

*Juli 2020 | 58cm | 35kg | Tierheim Rhodos Dieser freundliche Kuschelbär ist einfach rundum ein feines Kerlchen. ✨ Er versteht sich gut mit Hündinnen und den meisten Rüden, begegnet manchen Rüden aber anfangs etwas vorsichtig – kein Wunder, denn er musste leider schon einmal schlechte Erfahrungen machen und wurde von einem Rüden verletzt. Dabei entzündete sich auch sein Ohr stark und ein kleines Stück musste entfernt werden, heute sieht man davon aber kaum noch etwas.👍🏼 Trotzdem hat er sich seine fröhliche und liebe Art bewahrt. Er liebt gemütliche Spaziergänge, läuft schön an der Leine und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit und Kuscheleinheit.🧡 Auch im Umgang mit anderen Hunden, sogar mit Welpen, hat er sich stets geduldig und sozial gezeigt. Insgesamt ist er ein unkomplizierter und genügsamer Hund, der einfach gerne dabei ist. Nur beim Thema Futter ist er etwas zu begeistert – ein paar Gramm weniger würden ihm also nicht schaden. 🤭🐾 Total verschmust. Kuscheln ist einfach das Beste. Läuft entspannt an der Leine. Versteht sich mit anderen Hunden, lebt momentan mit einer Hündin zusammen. PAW HEROES e.V. E-Mail: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

About Matteo

What life with Matteo looks like

Matteo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

An 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.
