Adopt Olivia

Female · Adult · 7 years

Olivia was abandoned somewhere in nowhere and came to the animal shelter in a pitiful condition. She was underweight and barely survived in the wild. She has already gained some strength, but her Leishmaniasis test was unfortunately positive and she is currently also struggling with some health problems. Olivia is very big, has a lot of strength, doesn't know a leash and handling her requires special knowledge.

Olivia wurde irgendwo im Nirgendwo ausgesetzt und kam in einem erbärmlichen Zustand ins Tierheim. Sie war abgemagert und hat in der Wildnis nur mit knapper Not überlebt. Mittlerweile wurde sie schon etwas aufgepäppelt, aber ihr Leishmaniosetest war leider positiv und sie hat derzeit auch noch mit einigen gesundheitlichen Problemen zu kämpfen. Olivia ist sehr groß, hat viel Kraft, kennt keine Leine und der Umgang mit ihr erfordert besondere Kenntnisse. Derzeit ist Olivia für eine

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a adult dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

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 Olivia, answered.

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