Olli

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

My start in life was unfortunately anything but beautiful. My mother was a farm dog of a woman in Romania and we puppies were unwanted offspring. Therefore, we were treated badly by the woman from when we were very small. After just a few weeks, my siblings and I also became very sick. Loving people from an animal protection organization noticed this luckily and took us to a veterinarian. There we heard from the humans that the disease is called parvovirus and they tried to save our lives. Unfortunately, only my brother and I survived the illness. When we were finally healthy again, we were able to travel to Germany to the animal shelter Herzsprung for a better life. Although we were still very young, the experiences from our puppyhood had left deep scars on us. We had many fears and still approach people with great mistrust. My brother was the braver one of us both and was quicker to open up to new people. So he already found a loving new home and his owners work a lot with him to help him overcome his fears. For me, it's a bit more difficult because I don't dare to trust new people. My foster mom and dad here at the animal shelter have worked a lot with me and given me a lot of affection. But I have built a great bond only with my favorite foster mom Doris. I love her infinitely and absorb every affection from her. With her, I go for many walks. We play together and could cuddle for hours. But I behave like this only with Doris, because even towards the other caregivers here, I have shown no interest in building trust, although I have known them for a long time. I show myself at the animal shelter as a dog who only trusts a specific person and then stands by her very loyally. You can imagine that it is therefore difficult to find a new home for me. In the meantime, I have met many interested people, but I have not warmed up to anyone. These visits were very stressful and a big burden for me. Therefore, the team at the animal shelter Herzsprung has decided that I can stay at the refuge. Because I feel good here and have also found dog friends that I really like. It would be super nice if I could find long-term godparents who would like to support me.

mein Start ins Leben war leider alles andere als schön. Meine Mama war ein Hofhund von einer Frau in Rumänien und wir Babys waren unerwünschter Nachwuchs. Deswegen wurden wir schon als wir ganz klein waren, von der Frau schlecht behandelt. Nach wenigen Wochen sind meine Geschwister und ich dann auch noch sehr krank geworden. Liebe Menschen von einer Tierschutzorganisation haben dies zum Glück mitbekommen und uns zu einem Tierarzt bringen lassen. Dort haben wir von den Zweibeinern gehört, dass sich die Krankheit Parvovirose nennt und sie haben versucht, uns das Leben zu retten. Bedauerlicherweise haben nur mein Bruder und ich diese Krankheit überlebt. Als wir endlich wieder gesund waren, durften wir für ein besseres Leben nach Deutschland ins Tierheim Herzsprung reisen. Obwohl wir noch sehr jung waren, hatten die Erfahrungen aus unserer Welpenzeit tiefe Narben bei uns hinterlassen. Wir hatten sehr viele Ängste und treten bis heute Menschen mit großem Misstrauen entgegen. Mein Bruder war der Mutigere von uns beiden und war schneller bereit, sich neuen Menschen zu öffnen. So hat er bereits ein liebes neues Zuhause gefunden und seine Besitzer arbeiten viel mit ihm, damit er seine Ängste weiter abbaut. Bei mir gestaltet sich dies etwas schwieriger, da ich mich neuen Menschen nicht traue. Meine Pflegefrauchen und -Herrchen hier im Tierheim haben viel mit mir gearbeitet und mir sehr viel Zuwendung geschenkt. Doch nur zu meinem Lieblings-Pflegefrauchen Doris habe ich eine tolle Bindung aufgebaut. Ich liebe sie unendlich und sauge jede Zuneigung von ihr auf. Mit ihr unternehme ich viele Spaziergänge. Wir toben zusammen und miteinander kuscheln könnten wir stundenlang. Doch so verhalte ich mich nur bei Doris, denn selbst gegenüber den anderen Pflegerinnen und Pflegern hier zeige ich bisher kein Interesse daran, Vertrauen aufzubauen, obwohl ich sie nun schon lange kenne. Ich zeige mich hier im Tierheim als Hundemann, der sich nur einer bestimmten Person anvertraut und dieser dann sehr treu zur Seite steht. Ihr könnt euch sicher vorstellen, dass es daher schwierig ist, ein neues Zuhause für mich zu finden. Inzwischen habe ich viele Interessentinnen und Interessenten kennengelernt, doch wurde mit niemandem warm. Diese Besuche waren sehr stressig und eine große Belastung für mich. Daher hat das Team vom Tierheim Herzsprung beschlossen, dass ich auf dem Gnadenhof bleiben kann. Denn hier fühle ich mich wohl und habe auch Hundekumpels gefunden, die ich sehr gerne habe. Es wäre super schön, wenn ich Langzeitpaten finden würde, die mich gerne unterstützen möchten. Wir benötigen Ihre Zustimmung zum Laden der Übersetzungen

About Olli

What life with Olli looks like

Olli is a large adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Olli far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Olli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olli?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herzsprung handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olli if I live in another country?
Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Herzsprung what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Olli already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Herzsprung directly what is included and what Olli still needs.
What happens if Olli 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 Herzsprung early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olli 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.
