MATTEO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

MATTEO - male dog, 1.5 J., born around June 2024, likely to be medium-sized, vaccinated, microchipped. - Still waiting in Romania - Matteo and his likely brother Marc (see separate ad at www.sos-strassentiere.de) were found in Romania by our animal rescue on the way to the intake station. The two tiny pups were wandering alone on the road, emaciated, and would have surely been hit by a car. Naturally, they were allowed to come. Now they live at the intake station and have no fear of touch – neither with their fellow sufferers nor with people. Matteo is a very friendly puppy. Compared to his brother Marc, Matteo is more delicate and has longer legs. When found, he was skin and bones. Now he has been fattened up and has become a handsome, sturdy, and lively puppy. Like Marc, Matteo is always on the move and would like to play all day. Of course, Matteo still has a lot to learn, so a visit to dog training classes should be mandatory for his future family. For the clever MATTEO, we are looking for a home or a foster home. Before travel arrangements, a test for Babesiosis, Borreliosis, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis will be conducted. Matteo is still in Romania.

MATTEO - Rüde, 1,5 J., geb. ca. 06/2024, vermutlich mittelgroß werdend, geimpft, gechipt. - Wartet noch in Rumänien - Matteo und sein vermutlicher Bruder Marc (siehe sep.Anzeige u.www.sos-strassentiere.de) wurden in Rumänien von unserem Tierretter auf dem Weg zur Auffangstation gefunden. Mutterseelenallein und abgemagert liefen die beiden Winzlinge auf der Landstraße herum und wären sicher bald über- oder angefahren worden. Natürlich durften sie mit. Nun leben sie in der Auffangstation und haben keine Berührungsängste –weder mit ihren Leidensgenossen noch mit Menschen. Matteo ist ein sehr freundliches Hundekind. Matteo ist im Vergleich zu Brüderchen Marc zarter und hat längere Beine. Als er aufgefunden wurde, war er nur noch Haut und Knochen. Inzwischen wurde er aufgepäppelt und ist ebenfalls ein hübsches, kräftiges und munteres Hundekind geworden. Wie Marc ist auch Matteo ständig in Bewegung und würde am liebsten den ganzen Tag spielen. Natürlich muss Matteo noch viel lernen, sodass der Besuch einer Hundeschule für seine zukünftige Familie obligatorisch sein sollte. Für den aufgeweckten MATTEO suchen wir ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle. Vor Ausreise erfolgt Test auf Babesiose, Borreliose, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose, Dirofilarien und Leishmaniose. Matteo befindet sich noch in Rumänien. - Unkostenbeitrag bei

About MATTEO

What life with MATTEO looks like

MATTEO is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. 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.

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. Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. 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 — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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. 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. 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.
