How do I contact the shelter about Oskar H?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oskar H on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Oskar H if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Oskar H 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 Oskar H 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oskar H 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.

Adopt Oskar H

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around 2019 Gender: male neutered: yes Temperament: reserved but curious Size: approx. 40 cm In shelter since: June 2020 Siblings: Brother Victor & (Mother Peaches – already adopted) German Shepherd friends taken care of – here comes Oskar. Yes, at 40 cm, he is a bit on the small side and is likely a mixed breed, but the German Shepherd in his family lineage is not to be denied by his beautiful fur pattern. To what extent his typical characteristics will show, we cannot judge. But what we can say is that he is a friendly fellow who just lacks the last bit of courage to let us humans pet him. He always keeps a small safety distance, but is nevertheless curious and open. In his family, this hurdle will surely be overcome quite quickly if not so many dogs are competing with each other and the stress of the loud shelter falls off him. Unfortunately, dogs with German Shepherd looks are not very popular and are rarely adopted. Many spend years in the shelter while watching other dogs come and go in the yard without ever getting a chance themselves. These are wonderful dogs, loyal and affectionate, who stick by their family through thick and thin. For Oskar, we can only hope that this fate is spared and that someone with a heart for him will adopt him despite all preconceptions. If you are interested in Oskar, please write us an email or a message on Facebook. Oskar is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. As Traces, one refers to the database system with which the entire animal transport within the EU is monitored. The dogs travel vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and dewormed, and have an EU Pass.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. 2019 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: zurückhaltend, aber neugierig Größe: ca. 40 cm Im Shelter seit: Juni 2020 Verwandte: Bruder Victor & (Mutter Peaches – bereits ausgereist) Schäferhundfreunde aufgepasst – hier kommt Oskar. Ja gut, mit seinen 40 cm ist er etwas klein geraten und ist sicher auch nur ein Mischling, aber der Schäferhund in seiner Ahnengalerie ist beim Anblick seiner schönen Fellzeichnung nicht zu leugnen. Inwieweit sich die typischen Eigenschaften bei ihm zeigen werden, können wir allerdings nicht beurteilen. Aber was wir sagen können, ist dass er ein freundlicher Kerl ist, dem nur der letzte Mut fehlt, um sich von uns Menschen streicheln zu lassen. Er hält immer einen kleinen Sicherheitsabstand, ist aber durchaus neugierig und offen. In seiner Familie wird diese Hürde sicher ganz schnell überwunden werden, wenn nicht mehr so viele Hunde miteinander konkurrieren und der Stress des lauten Shelters von ihm abfällt. Leider sind die Hunde mit Schäferhundoptik nicht sehr beliebt und werden nur selten adoptiert. Viele fristen viele Jahre im Shelter, während sie die anderen Hunde im Zwinger kommen und gehen sehen, ohne jemals selber eine Chance zu bekommen. Dabei sind es so wunderbare Hunde, die treu und liebevoll ihre Familie durch dick und dünn begleiten. Für Oskar können wir nur hoffen, dass ihm dieses Schicksal erspart bleibt und er jemandem ins Auge sticht, der allen Vorurteilen zum Trotz sein Herz an ihn verschenkt. Wenn Sie Interesse an Oskar haben, schreiben Sie uns doch bitte eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Oskar ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Leishmaniose und Dirofilariose. Heike F. hat die Patenschaft für Oskar übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Oskar H

What life with Oskar H looks like

Oskar H is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
