Olaf

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Olaf is a mixed breed dog around four to five years old. He is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, stands about 55 centimeters tall, and weighs around 30 kilograms. Olaf was seized from poor living conditions and came to us as a result. He gets along well with other dogs but is initially very reserved around people. Once he gains trust, he shows his friendly and affectionate side. We are already working with him to help him accept contact with strangers more easily. We are looking for a loving home for Olaf where he can receive patience and stability. He is also well-suited as a second dog.

DE·Show original

Olaf ist ein Mischling im Alter von etwa vier bis fünf Jahren. Er ist geimpft, gechipt und kastriert, etwa 55 Zentimeter groß und wiegt rund 30 Kilogramm. Olaf wurde aus schlechter Haltung beschlagnahmt und kam deshalb zu uns. Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden, ist Menschen gegenüber jedoch zunächst sehr zurückhaltend. Sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat, zeigt er seine freundliche und anhängliche Seite. Wir arbeiten bereits mit ihm daran, dass er sicheren Kontakt zu fremden Personen leichter annehmen kann. Für Olaf wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er Geduld und Stabilität bekommt. Er eignet sich auch sehr gut als Zweithund.

About Olaf

What life with Olaf looks like

Olaf is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tiere in Not e.V. 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 — Tiere in Not e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tiere in Not e.V. 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.
