Adopt Olli

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Olli is a so-called Diepholzer Goose. Olli came from a goose farm near Rehden, which was very poorly managed by the owners. The geese were not confined at night there— and so the fox would regularly come by, causing the number of animals to steadily decline. When the foster home caretaker became aware of the situation, only Olli was left and was promptly moved to Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. In the photo, you can see how shy she was at first and how thrilled she was to have a pond to swim in!

Olli ist eine sogenannte Diepholzer Gans. Olli stammt aus einer Gänsehaltung in der Nähe von Rehden, die von den Besitzern sehr nachlässig betreut wurde. Die Gänse wurden dort nachts nicht eingesperrt - und so kam immer regelmäßig der Fuchs, wodurch sich die Zahl der Tiere mehr und mehr dezimierte. Als der Betreuer der Pflegestelle darauf aufmerksam wurde, war nur noch Olli übrig und durfte gleich zu Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. umziehen. Auf dem Foto können Sie sehen, wie schüchtern sie anfangs war und ihr Glück kaum fassen konnte, einen Teich zum Baden zu haben!

About Olli

What life with Olli looks like

Olli is a medium-sized adult mixed breed bird waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Birds are long-lived, social, and noisy. The species and individual history matter enormously — ex-companion parrots can carry strong attachments and trauma. Ask the shelter about their daily routine, diet, and whether they'd do best alone or with a flockmate.

🇩🇪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 Olli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olli?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schutzengel für Tiere 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Olli already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most birds 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 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. 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.
