Otto

Dachshund · Male

Hier möchten wir euch Otto vorstellen. Otto ist einfach ein Hund für „überall mit dabei“. Unbekümmert begegnet er allen Menschen, er freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit, möchte lernen, spielen, schmusen. Otto ist für jeden Spaß zu haben. Er ist kein Hund für Couch Potatoes, denn Otto möchte viel erleben. Abwechslungsreiche Spaziergänge, Suchspiele, Dummytraining – Otto ist für alles zu begeistern. Wir suchen für den kleinen Schatz eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die ihm Zeit gibt um anzukommen, die ihn liebt und fördert und nie mehr im Stich lässt. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie wohnen, Kinder sollten im Grunschulalter oder älter sein. Wir empfehlen immer den Besuch einer Hundeschule, denn hier wird die Mensch-Hund-Teambildung optimal gefördert. Denn mit der richtigen Erziehung wird Otto ein Hund für „überall mit dabei“! Möchten Sie mehr über diesen kleinen Kerl erfahren? Dann nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Otto ist selbstverständlich gechipt, entwurmt und komplett geimpft. Er kann auf Wunsch vor Ausreise kastriert werden. Er kommt mit einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

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

An adult 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. 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 Otto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Otto?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Otto 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 Otto 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
