Oreo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

OREO IS SIMPLY DELICIOUS. The five-year-old, nice male dog sat in our found animal enclosure on Easter Monday. Everyone agreed the handsome fellow would surely be picked up quickly. An anonymous letter then brought the sad realization: no one would come to get him. Already once passed on, it was for the sweet cookie: off to the animal shelter. But it’s no problem, Oreo is cuddly and clingy. He knows a life in a family with children and is house-trained. Unfortunately, this description was a misnomer. Oreo had and has his own challenges, which we noticed quite quickly. One should never underestimate the little guy. At our shelter, he shows some stress with other male dogs. In such situations, his frustration can also be directed towards the person at the end of the leash?

OREO IST EINFACH ZUM ANBEISSEN. Der fünfjährige, nette Rüde saß am Ostermontag in unserem Fundtierzwinger. Alle waren sich einig, der hübsche Kerl werde bestimmt schnell wieder abgeholt. Ein anonymer Brief brachte dann die traurige Gewissheit: Niemand wird ihn holen. Schon einmal weitergegeben, hieß es diesmal für den süßen Keks: ab ins Tierheim. Aber alles kein Problem, Oreo ist verschmust und anhänglich. Er kennt ein Leben in einer Familie mit Kindern und ist stubenrein. Leider war diese Beschreibung ein Trugschluss. Oreo hatte und hat so seine Baustellen, diese zeigten sich uns recht schnell. Man sollte den kleinen Kerl auf keinen Fall unterschätzen. Bei uns zeigt sich ein gewisser Stress mit anderen Rüden. In solchen Situationen richtet sich seine Frustration auch mal gegen den Menschen am anderen Ende der Leine? Nach einer ersten

About Oreo

What life with Oreo looks like

Oreo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Plauen in Plauen.

An young 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 Oreo, answered.

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