Odi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

mixed breed, male dog, neutered Age: 15 years (2025) April: Odi would actually not like to be rehomed. He loves the animal shelter and his caretakers, enjoys his life as an office dog and apparently can't imagine that life could offer anything better. We have no problem with him wanting to stay with us, but if someone is found who comes VERY often and at short intervals, who is willing to wait and see if Odi changes his mind and would like to move anyway, whose house/property is super secure (Fort Knox), who doesn't have small children who might accidentally leave a door open, who is really experienced and careful,...

Mischling, Rüde, kastriertAlter: 15 Jahre (2025) April: Odi möchte eigentlich nicht vermittelt werden. Er liebt das Tierheim und seine Betreuer, genießt sein Leben als Bürohund und kann es sich offensichtlich nicht vorstellen, dass das Leben noch etwas besseres zu bieten hat. Wir haben kein Problem damit, dass er bei uns bleiben will, aber falls sich jemand findet, der SEHR oft und in kurzen Abständen kommt, der abwarten kann, ob Odi es sich nochmal anders überlegt und doch umziehen würde, dessen Haus/Grundstück super gesichert ist (Fort Knox), der keine kleinen Kinder hat, die dochmal eine Tür auflassen, der wirklich erfahren und vorsichtig ist,... dann stände Odi auch zur

About Odi

What life with Odi looks like

Odi is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dillenburg in Dillenburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Odi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Odi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dillenburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Odi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Odi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dillenburg 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 Odi 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 Odi 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 Dillenburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Odi 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.
