Adopt Olaf

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Olaf, mixed breed, is approximately 55 cm and 30 kg. Olaf did not have a nice home, which is why he was seized. He gets along well with fellow animals, but it's not so easy with people. Olaf is very reserved towards strangers, but he is happy if he knows someone. He is being worked with, and it has already improved a lot. We are looking for a loving family for Olaf that will take the time to get to know him. Olaf can also be a second dog. For more information: Fr. This animal is microchipped.

Olaf Mischling, gechipt, ist ca. 55 cm und 30 kg. Olaf hatte kein schönes Zuhause, deshalb wurde er beschlagnahmt. Er ist mit Artgenossen verträglich, bei Menschen ist es nicht so einfach. Olaf ist Fremden gegenüber sehr zurückhaltend, wenn er aber jemand kennt, freut er sich. Es wird mit ihm gearbeitet und es ist schon viel besser geworden. Wir suchen für Olaf eine liebevolle Familie, die sich Zeit für ihn nimmt, um ihn kennenzulernen, gerne kann Olaf auch als Zweithund. Weitere Infos: Fr. Maus, oder

About Olaf

What life with Olaf looks like

Olaf is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Eifeltierheim Altrich in Altrich.

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 Olaf, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olaf?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Eifeltierheim Altrich 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 — Eifeltierheim Altrich 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 Eifeltierheim Altrich 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.
