Oskar

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

In the animal shelter since: February 2025 Estimated age: born around February 2017 Estimated shoulder height: approx. 60 – 69 cm Learn more about Oskar in another video here! Suddenly alone - Oscar's family no longer wanted him. This furry nose once had a home. Our caretakers actually only wanted to take him along during a neutering campaign. When they spoke with his family, they said that they no longer wanted to take Oskar in. So they brought him to the animal shelter where he now waits for a second chance. Learn more about dogs in Romania in our animal welfare FAQ. Oskar shows himself open and polite towards people. He is very gentle when petted, actively seeks out human company, and loves to cuddle. He actively asks for cuddles but is not overly intrusive. He has also already adapted well to wearing a collar. During walks, Oskar has already oriented himself well to humans and responded to his name. Occasionally, he was still a bit excited and pulled, but always calmed down quickly. At the moment, Oskar shares his enclosure with a female dog, with whom he gets along well. In encounters with other dogs, he currently appears somewhat tense. Oskar is looking for a rural home with experienced people who can take charge. We wish for this furry nose to be adopted by people who are aware that shelter dogs come with a certain history. We cannot predict at the animal shelter how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we are looking for people who bring patience, perseverance, and goodwill. Already smitten? Send us a self-disclosure form! Adoption If you are thinking about adopting, first read through the adoption process. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and neutered before travel arrangements (exception for puppies under 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are additionally tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any further questions, feel free to send a message to our mediation team.

Im Tierheim seit: Februar 2025 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Februar 2017 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 60 – 69 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: 35 – 39 kg Lerne hier Oskar in einem weiteren Video kennen! Oskar würde am liebsten direkt in dein Herz ziehen! Diese Fellnase hatte einmal ein Zuhause. Unsere Pfleger:innen wollten ihn eigentlich nur während einer Kastrationskampagne mitnehmen. Als sie mit seiner Familie sprachen, sagten sie, dass sie Oskar nicht mehr bei sich aufnehmen wollten. So nahmen sie ihn mit ins Tierheim, wo er nun auf eine zweite Chance wartet. Erfahre mehr über Hunde in Rumänien in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Oskar ist ein ausgesprochen menschenbezogener und anhänglicher Rüde, der den Kontakt zu Menschen sehr genießt. Schon beim Annähern an seinen Zwinger begrüßt er Besucher freudig mit wedelnder Rute und zeigt deutlich, wie sehr er sich über Aufmerksamkeit freut. Im direkten Umgang präsentiert er sich offen, freundlich und verschmust – er sucht aktiv die Nähe, schmiegt sich an, verteilt gerne Küsschen und begleitet Menschen aufmerksam durch den Alltag. Dabei wirkt er weder aufdringlich noch hektisch, sondern vielmehr sehr zugewandt und sozial. Auch im Shelteralltag zeigt sich Oskar als kooperativer Begleiter. Das Anlegen des Geschirrs lässt er problemlos zu und bei Spaziergängen präsentiert er sich neugierig und interessiert an seiner Umgebung. Er orientiert sich gut am Menschen, lässt sich ansprechen und genießt gemeinsame Unternehmungen sichtbar. Mit seiner Zwingerpartnerin lebt Oskar friedlich zusammen. Insgesamt wirkt er wie ein freundlicher, lebensfroher Hund, der eine enge Bindung zu seinen Menschen aufbauen möchte und die gemeinsame Zeit sehr genießt. Für Oskar wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine große Nähe zum Menschen genauso genießen wie er selbst. Er sucht aktiv Kontakt, liebt Aufmerksamkeit und möchte gerne Teil des Alltags sein. Gleichzeitig bringt er körperlich Kraft mit, weshalb seine Menschen ihn souverän führen können sollten. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Oskar

What life with Oskar looks like

Oskar is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oskar, answered.

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