Matteo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Matteo and his sister Weena were found as small puppies by animal rescuers in the woods, they were alone and were probably abandoned because they were sick. They both had parvovirus but fortunately survived and are now healthy and lively. They were brought to Animal Life Sibiu and were able to be placed with a foster family where they live with many other dogs. Matteo is a sweet, friendly, happy puppy, he loves human company, is happy when he gets some attention and is pampered with petting and playing. He loves to play and frolic all day with his sister or with the other dogs and still has a lot of mischief in his head. Matteo lives with his fellow dogs mainly outdoors and has yet to learn a life indoors, as well as the whole dog ABC. We wish for the cute Matteo a loving family, with plenty of time, patience and empathy.

Matteo und seine Schwester Weena wurden als kleine Welpen von Tierschützern im Wald gefunden, sie waren mutterseelenallein und wurden vermutlich ausgesetzt, da sie krank waren. Sie hatten beide Parvovirose und haben aber glücklicherweise überlebt und sind jetzt gesund und putzmunter. Sie wurden zu Animal Life Sibiu gebracht und konnten bei einer Pflegefamilie untergebracht werden, wo mit vielen anderen Hunden zusammenleben. Matteo ist ein lieber, freundlicher, fröhlicher Welpenbub, er liebt die Nähe der Menschen, freut sich, wenn er mal etwas Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und mit Streicheleinheiten und Spielen verwöhnt wird. Er spielt und tobt am liebsten den ganzen Tag seiner Schwester oder mit den anderen Hunden und hat noch viel Unsinn im Kopf. Matteo lebt mit seinen Artgenossen hauptsächlich im Freien und muss ein Leben im Haus erst noch kennenlernen, wie auch das ganze Hunde ABC. Wir wünschen uns für den putzigen Matteo eine liebevolle Familie, mit viel Zeit, Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen.

About Matteo

What life with Matteo looks like

Matteo is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenglück Bayern 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. 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 Matteo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Matteo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenglück Bayern 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 — Pfotenglück Bayern 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 Pfotenglück Bayern 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.
