Otto

Dachshund · Male

Otto is a dog for "everywhere with you". He is carefree, meets all people, enjoys attention, wants to learn, play, cuddle. Otto is up for any fun. He is not a dog for couch potatoes, because Otto wants to experience a lot. Varied walks, search games, dummy training - Otto is enthusiastic about everything. We are looking for a family or individual for the little treasure who gives him time to settle in, who loves and promotes him and never leaves him behind. A first dog in the family is welcome, children should be of primary school age or older. We always recommend visiting a dog school, because this is where human-dog team formation is optimally promoted. With the right upbringing, Otto will be a dog for "everywhere with you"! Would you like to learn more about this little guy? Then please contact us without obligation. Otto is of course chipped, dewormed and fully vaccinated. He can be castrated on request before departure. He comes with a transport registered with the German Veterinary Office.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a small dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Otto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Otto?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Otto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Otto if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Otto, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Otto already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Otto as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Otto isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Otto 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.
