How do I contact the shelter about Olaf?

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

Can I adopt Olaf if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Freiburg 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 Olaf 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 Olaf 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 Tierschutzverein Freiburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olaf 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.

Olaf

Dachshund · Unknown

Olaf doesn't just look funny – he is an absolute good-mood-dog, with whom it is guaranteed never to get boring. The active male dog is very people-oriented and loves drawing the attention of the two-leggeds to himself. He enjoys closeness, physical contact, and cuddles. Despite his crooked little legs, the adventurous fellow is very full of movement and always on the lookout for new experiences and stimuli. He likes nature, is self-assured and goal-oriented – while he tries to strategically assert his Dachshund-Terrier-dumbbell personality. If you're looking for a new color in your life, you can apply for Olaf with us. He's already full of fire for the first encounter. TIER GEFUNDEN / TIER GESUCHT / TIERQUÄLEREI MELDEN?

Olaf sieht nicht nur lustig aus – er ist ein absoluter Gute-Laune-Hund, mit dem es garantiert nie langweilig wird. Der aktive Rüde ist sehr menschenbezogen und liebt es, die Aufmerksamkeit der Zweibeiner auf sich zu ziehen. Er genießt Nähe, Körperkontakt und Streicheleinheiten. Trotz seiner krummen Beinchen ist der abenteuerlustige Kerl sehr bewegungsfreudig und immer auf der Suche nach neuen Erfahrungen und Reizen. Er mag die Natur, ist selbstbewusst und zielorientiert – dabei versucht er gern auch sein Dackel-Terrier-Dickköpfchen strategisch durchzusetzen. Wer Lust auf neue Farbe im Leben hat, darf sich gern bei uns für Olaf bewerben. Er ist schon Feuer und Flamme für die erste Begegnung. Liebe Interessenten, schön, dass Sie sich für einen unserer Hunde interessieren! Bitte beantworten Sie alle Fragen vollständig und gewissenhaft, damit wir Ihre Anfrage direkt bearbeiten können.

About Olaf

What life with Olaf looks like

Olaf is a adult dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Freiburg in Freiburg.

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.
