How do I contact the shelter about ORSON?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tier-Not-Hilfe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ORSON on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ORSON if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tier-Not-Hilfe 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 ORSON 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 ORSON 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 Tier-Not-Hilfe early rather than rehoming privately; they know ORSON 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.

ORSON

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 12 years

Orson - family-loving dog - male, Stafford mix, 12.5 years old, born circa June 2014, SH 45 cm, 16 kg, vaccinated, chipped, neutered. - Waiting in Spain! - Orson was picked up by the city police. He was found on a field with a broken chain around his neck, suffering from severe malnutrition and his skin was in very poor condition. He tested positive for Leishmaniasis, with a very low titer, everything else was fine, only his skin was affected. After several months of treatment we asked the veterinarian for an analysis which happily came back negative. Orson is calm, affectionate and sociable with people in general and children. He loves being around people. He should be a single dog, he may get along with submissive females but he doesn't like cats. Orson walks very well on a leash, and when he sees other dogs he is curious if they are calm. He avoids nervous dogs - at his age - he just doesn't want any stress and prefers his peace. The poor dear guy is really struggling in the shelter in Alicante, in a cold kennel! We hope so very much for a loving family for him - forever!

VERMITTLUNG - möglich nur nach - Österreich, Schweiz (nicht kupiert), Holland, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein u andere Länder, wo die Einreise eines solchen Hundes erlaubt ist. ORSON - kinderlieber Familienhund - Rüde, Stafford-Mix, 12,5 J., geb. ca. 06.2014, SH 45 cm, 16 kg, geimpft, gechippt, kastriert. - Wartet in Spanien ! - Orson wurde von der städtischen Polizei aufgegriffen. Er wurde auf einem Feld gefunden, er hatte eine zerbrochene Kette um den Hals, wies schwere Unterernährung auf und seine Haut war in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Er wurde positiv auf Leishmaniose getestet, mit einem sehr niedrigen Titer, alles andere war in Ordnung, es war nur seine Haut betroffen. Nach seiner mehrmonatigen Behandlung baten wir den Tierarzt um eine Analyse, die glücklich negativ ausfiel. Orson ist ruhig, anhänglich und umgänglich mit Menschen allgemein und mit Kindern. Er liebt es, unter Menschen zu sein. Er sollte ein Einzelhund sein, mit unterwürfigen Hündinnen versteht er sich eventuell gut aber er mag keine Katzen. Orson geht sehr gut an der Leine, und wenn er andere Hunde sieht, ist er neugierig, wenn diese ruhig sind. Nervöse Hunden meidet er - er will in -seinem Alter- einfach keinen Stress und bevorzugt seine Ruhe. Dem armen lieben Kerl geht es richtig schlecht dort im Tierheim in Alicante, im Zwinger bei der Kälte ! Wir hoffen sooo sehr auf eine liebevolle Familie für ihn - für immer ! Info u.

About ORSON

What life with ORSON looks like

ORSON is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Tier-Not-Hilfe in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
