How do I contact the shelter about Otto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Europa 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 Europa 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.

Adopt Otto

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

Otto is a friendly Brittany spaniel who is located in our partner shelter Hogar de Asis and is waiting there for a new, beautiful home – with people who have a heart for this wonderful hunting dog breed. Originally, Otto was rescued from a Perrera and has been in the care of our animal welfare partner Tere since March 2026. More information about his past is not available to us. But Otto himself seems to be indifferent to this, as he delights everyone with his enthusiasm and joy in life. Upon arriving at the animal shelter, he easily adapted to his new situation. He knows the routines, loves his two caretakers, and is very well integrated into the large dog pack. Otto meets all people, dogs, and new situations with openness and thus brings the best prerequisites to start anew successfully. Due to his sunny nature, we can imagine that he was once a beloved family member or social partner and ended up in the Perrera under unfortunate circumstances. Otto’s secret will remain just that – and that is perfectly fine, because we want to look positively into the future with him. Otto shares the kennel with his friend Elmo, and the two form a harmonious "paw flat". It is a funny sight to see the mismatched boys: Otto, the sovereign, playful clown, and Elmo, the sensitive soul. Otto helped his gentle friend a lot during the initial phase – Elmo could observe from him that people do not have to be afraid and are perfectly suited for cuddling.

Otto ist ein freundlicher Bretonenrüde, der sich in unserem Partnertierheim Hogar de Asis befindet und von dort aus auf ein neues, schönes Zuhause wartet – bei Menschen mit Herz für diese wundervolle Jagdhunderasse. Ursprünglich wurde Otto aus einer Perrera gerettet und befindet sich seit März 2026 in der Obhut unserer Tierschutzpartnerin Tere. Mehr Informationen über seine Vergangenheit liegen uns nicht vor. Doch Otto selbst scheint das herzlich egal zu sein, denn er begeistert jeden mit seiner Lebensfreude und Fröhlichkeit. Im Tierheim angekommen, hat er sich mit Leichtigkeit in seine neue Lebenssituation eingefunden. Er kennt die Abläufe, liebt seine beiden Betreuerinnen und ist sehr gut in das große Hunderudel integriert.Otto begegnet allen Personen, Hunden und neuen Situationen aufgeschlossen und bringt somit beste Voraussetzungen mit, um noch einmal erfolgreich von vorne anzufangen. Aufgrund seines sonnigen Wesens können wir uns gut vorstellen, dass er früher einmal ein geliebtes Familienmitglied oder Sozialpartner war und unter unglücklichen Umständen in der Perrera gestrandet ist. Es wird Ottos Geheimnis bleiben – und das ist auch vollkommen in Ordnung, denn wir möchten gemeinsam mit ihm positiv in die Zukunft schauen. Den Zwinger teilt sich Otto mit seinem Freund Elmo, und die beiden bilden eine harmonische „Pfötchen-WG“. Es ist schon ein witziges Bild, das die ungleichen Jungs abgeben: Otto, der souveräne, lustige Clown, und Elmo, das sensible Seelchen. Otto hat seinem sanften Freund gerade in der Anfangszeit sehr geholfen – Elmo konnte sich bei ihm abschauen, dass Menschen keine Angst machen müssen und sich wunderbar zum Kuscheln eignen.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
