How do I contact the shelter about Otto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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 Franz von Assisi 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 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 Franz von Assisi e.V. 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.

Otto

Mixed Breed · Male · 8 months

Otto - the best often begins with a little adventure → Breed: Mix → Gender: Male → Born: 01/2026 → Size / Weight: 27 cm / 6 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → ID: Chip → Compatible with: Male and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorship possible: yes Description Otto is one of those dogs who would get up in the morning and probably think: "What are we discovering today?" This carefree curiosity makes him so lovable. His life began far from carefree. He was found alone and was lucky to grow up in safety. Now he is ready to finally start his own chapter. Otto is people-oriented, friendly and gets along well with other dogs. He encounters adults and children openly and brings the best conditions to become a loyal companion. For this, people are needed who promote him, give him orientation and enjoy growing with him. Otto has not known family life so far. Therefore, no one should expect that everything will be perfect from day one. Otto needs to get to know his people - and his people him. This time of arrival, learning and building trust is exactly what makes a young dog and his family a real team. Although Otto is rather small, he wants to go through life as a full-fledged dog. He wants to run, sniff, discover new things and experience adventures. Children are welcome to be part of the family

Otto – das Beste beginnt oft mit einem kleinen Abenteuer → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 01/2026 → Grösse / Gewicht: 27 cm / 6 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Otto ist einer von diesen Hunden, die morgens aufstehen würden und vermutlich denken: „Na, was entdecken wir heute?“ Genau diese unbeschwerte Neugier macht ihn so liebenswert. Dabei begann sein Leben alles andere als unbeschwert. Allein wurde er gefunden und durfte zum Glück in Sicherheit aufwachsen. Jetzt ist er bereit, endlich sein eigenes Kapitel zu beginnen. Otto ist menschenbezogen, freundlich und versteht sich hervorragend mit anderen Hunden. Er begegnet Groß und Klein offen und bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit, um ein treuer Begleiter zu werden. Dafür braucht es Menschen, die ihn fördern, ihm Orientierung geben und Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Ein Familienleben kennt Otto bisher noch nicht. Deshalb darf niemand erwarten, dass vom ersten Tag an alles perfekt klappt. Otto muss seine Menschen kennenlernen – und seine Menschen ihn. Diese Zeit des Ankommens, Lernens und Vertrauensaufbaus ist genau das, was aus einem jungen Hund und seiner Familie ein echtes Team macht. Auch wenn Otto eher klein ist, möchte er als vollwertiger Hund durchs Leben gehen. Er möchte laufen, schnüffeln, Neues entdecken und Abenteuer erleben. Kinder dürfen gerne zur Familie gehören

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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.
