Oscar

Dachshund · Male · Young · 1 year

Oscar! - Dachshund, stubborn and lots of personality 🐾 So, who are you? Maybe my future human? Then I'd like to introduce myself right away! 🥰 I'm Oscar, a little Dachshund with a pretty big personality. 😎 And as it is for a real Dachshund, I naturally have my own head. You could say I know pretty well what I want - and what I rather don't want. 😉 With my kind I like to decide by sympathy. Not every dog has to automatically become my best friend. But if the chemistry is right, I can get along well with other dogs. ❤️ I find children really great! I'm also friendly and open-minded towards people. I enjoy company and am a funny, lovable little guy who with his very own way quickly causes a smile or two. 🥰 One small issue is still with me: going to the vet is definitely not one of my favorite hobbies. 🩺🙈 When I go to the vet, I make my displeasure about it very clear. Here I need some training and people who show me with calmness and patience that such visits are not so bad after all. Otherwise I'm just a charming Dachshund with character, humor and a little stubbornness - and maybe just the right dog for people who appreciate my very own way. ❤️ So, what do you say? Are you in the mood for a little Dachshund who will definitely not bore you? 🐾😉 Your Oscar 🐶❤️ Chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, neutered

🐾 Hallo, ich bin Oscar! – Dackel, Dickkopf und ganz viel Persönlichkeit 🐾 Na, wer bist denn du? Vielleicht mein zukünftiger Mensch? Dann möchte ich mich doch gleich einmal vorstellen! 🥰 Ich bin Oscar, ein kleiner Dackel mit einer ziemlich großen Persönlichkeit. 😎 Und wie es sich für einen echten Dackel gehört, habe ich natürlich auch meinen eigenen Kopf. Man könnte sagen, ich weiß ziemlich genau, was ich möchte – und was ich eher nicht möchte. 😉 Bei meinen Artgenossen entscheide ich gerne nach Sympathie. Nicht jeder Hund muss automatisch mein bester Freund werden. Wenn die Chemie stimmt, kann ich mich aber durchaus gut mit anderen Hunden verstehen. ❤️ Kinder finde ich dagegen richtig klasse! Auch Menschen gegenüber bin ich freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Ich genieße Gesellschaft und bin ein lustiger, liebenswerter kleiner Kerl, der mit seiner ganz eigenen Art schnell für das eine oder andere Schmunzeln sorgt. 🥰 Ein kleines Thema gibt es allerdings noch bei mir: Tierarztbesuche gehören definitiv nicht zu meinen Lieblingshobbys. 🩺🙈 Wenn es zum Tierarzt geht, mache ich meinem Unmut darüber auch schon einmal sehr deutlich Luft. Hier brauche ich noch etwas Training und Menschen, die mir mit Ruhe und Geduld zeigen, dass auch solche Besuche gar nicht so schlimm sein müssen. Ansonsten bin ich einfach ein charmanter Dackel mit Charakter, Humor und einem kleinen Dickkopf – und vielleicht genau der richtige Hund für Menschen, die meine ganz eigene Art zu schätzen wissen. ❤️ Also, wie sieht's aus? Hast du Lust auf einen kleinen Dackel, der dich garantiert nicht langweilen wird? 🐾😉 Dein Oscar 🐶❤️ Gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a large young adult dachshund dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Oscar, answered.

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