How do I contact the shelter about Momo?

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

Can I adopt Momo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Momo 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 Momo 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 Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Momo 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.

Momo

Male · 3 years

I am Momo … and was found. Unfortunately, that means no one really knows my background. Would you give me a home? Would you like to know more about me? At first, I am skeptical with strangers. I generally do not like to be pressured. But if I trust someone, I am very person-oriented and loyal. I defend my toys and my dog bed – that’s why you should have some experience with dogs and be able to handle it. I then tend to snap, which is why I would rather live as a single dog, as I simply don’t like competition. I am house-trained, but whether I can be left alone for a few hours is still unknown – we would have to practice that patiently if needed. I wish for … a home with consistent, dog-experienced people without children living in the household. The area should be quiet and without many dog encounters – preferably rural. Please note that several visits to the animal shelter will be necessary to win my dog heart and build trust. Would you like to meet me? Then feel free to contact me via the contact form below or directly with my animal caretakers:

Ich bin Momo … und wurde gefunden. Deshalb weiß man leider nicht wirklich etwas über meine Vorgeschichte. Schenkst du mir ein Zuhause? Das bin ich: Bei Fremden bin ich anfangs etewas skeptisch und möchte auch generell nicht bedrängt werden. Aber wenn ich jemandem vertraue, bin ich sehr personenbezogen und treu. Ich kuschle gern und möchte alles richtig machen. Meine(n) Menschen habe ich richtig lieb. Ich bin ein toller Feini – nur das Pöbeln an der Leine kann ich mir irgendwie nicht verkneifen. Wenn ich dann andere Hunde sehe, kann ich mich ganz schön aufregen. Deshalb wäre ein neues Zuhause, mit nicht zu vielen Hundebegegnung ideal. Außerdem neige ich dazu, mein Spielzeug und Körbchen zu verteidigen – deshalb solltest du schon Erfahrung mit Hunden haben und damit umgehen können. Ich neige dann nämlich auch zum Schnappen. Ich bin nicht grundsätzlich unverträglich, würde aber am liebsten als Einzelhund leben, denn ich mag einfach keine Konkurrenz. Ich bin stubenrein, ob ich auch mal ein paar Stunden allein bleiben kann, ist noch nicht bekannt – das müssten wir bei Bedarf geduldig üben. Ich wünsche mir … ein Zuhause bei konsequenten, hundeerfahrenen Menschen ohne im Haushalt lebende Kinder. Die Gegend sollte ruhig und ohne viele Hundebegegnungen sein – am besten ländlich. Dann bekommst du einen ganz tollen, treuen Begleiter an deiner Seite. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann melde dich gern über das untenstehende Kontaktformular oder direkt bei meinen Tierpfleger:innen im Lassie-Haus unter tgl 13-16 Uhr).

About Momo

What life with Momo looks like

Momo is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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.

Note from the shelter: Resource guarding behavior with toys and bed, tendency to snap when pressured. Needs quiet rural environment with minimal dog encounters.

🇩🇪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.
