How do I contact the shelter about Odin?

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 Odin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Odin 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 Odin 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 Odin 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 Odin 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.

Odin

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 8 years

I am Odin, a friendly, people-oriented fellow with a big heart. That’s me: I was secured for animal welfare reasons, and I’m an open and friendly dog who enjoys the company of humans. I also like children. I am house-trained, know the basic commands, and get excited about food games. With female dogs, I usually get along relatively well, but male dogs are not my thing. Staying alone is hard for me – then I howl because I would much rather be with you/you. And food should be better secured in front of me, because I like to steal it sometimes.😉 I wish for a loving, preferably ground-level home (or one with an elevator). What’s important to me are people who have a lot of time for me. I fit well with a family with children or with people who are looking for a friendly, clingy companion. Can I be your all-time best companion?

DE·Show original

Ich bin Odin ein freundlicher, menschenbezogener Kerl mit großem Herzen. Das bin ich:Ich wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt, bin ein aufgeschlossener und lieber Hund, der die Nähe zu Menschen genießt. Auch Kinder mag ich gern. Ich bin stubenrein, kenne die Grundkommandos und lasse mich für Futterspiele begeistern. Mit Hündinnen komme ich meist relativ gut klar, Rüden liegen mir dagegen eher nicht so. Allein bleiben fällt mir bisher schwer – dann jaule ich, weil ich viel lieber bei dir/euch sein will. Und Essen sollte man vor mir besser in Sicherheit bringen, denn ich stibitze ganz gern mal.😉 Alleinbleiben kann ich leider gar nicht. Dafür komme ich super mit Kindern aller Größen klar. Ich wünsche mir ein liebevolles, möglichst ebenerdiges Zuhause (oder mit Fahrstuhl). Wichtig sind mir Menschen, die viel Zeit für mich haben. Ich passe gut zu einer Familie mit Kindern oder zu Menschen, die einen freundlichen, anhänglichen Begleiter suchen. Darf ich dein allerbester Begleiter werden?

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a medium-sized adult german shepherd 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: Hip dysplasia, coxarthrosis, and spondylosis requiring pain medication. Needs single-level housing without stairs or elevator access. Cannot be left alone due to separation anxiety.

🇩🇪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.
