Adopt Otto

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Name: Orto. Breed: Mixed BreedBirthdate: 01.04.2024Size: approx. 55 cmHealth: vaccinated, microchipped, neuteredCharacteristics: The beautiful puppy Orto from Sicily is suffering more and more and urgently needs his own home, a primary caregiver, where he can finally arrive. He is a critical case. His past has been marked by - surviving. After the Canile, he initially went to animal rescuer Loredana, but there Orto would cry a lot at night when alone in his enclosure, and there was significant trouble with the neighbors. Therefore, Orto had to move to the small property Eden, which is currently beyond its capacity limits. Here, Orto is companioned with the female German Shepherd Angie. Yet, Orto continues to suffer. Despite this, Orto is such a lovable and sensitive dog. He is friendly and seeks the closeness of people with big hearts. He desperately needs a home with people who have experience with dogs to foster him according to his age. People who are active and can mentally and physically challenge him, but most importantly, people where he can find peace, who love him and never abandon him again. In general, Orto is compatible with other dogs, but we believe he would be happiest as a single dog. Any potential dog partners should be assertive and able to set appropriate boundaries for Orto, which he accepts well. We do not see him getting along with submissive dogs. Orto is not a dog that simply follows along "anywhere." He is a true family member – full of joy, energy, and devotion. But without people by his side, he is slowly falling apart. Who will finally give Orto the chance to live the life he so deserves? Location: Sicily Contact:. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Name: Orto. Rasse: MischlingGeburtsdatum: 01.04.2024Größe: ca. 55 cmGesundheit: Geimpft, gechipt, kastriertCharakter/ Eigenschaften:Der wunderschöne Junghund Orto aus Sizilien leidet immer mehr und braucht dringend ein eigenes Zuhause, eine Bezugsperson, wo er endlich ankommen darf. Er ist ein dringender Notfall. Seine Vergangenheit ist geprägt von - am Leben bleiben. Nach dem Canile kam er zunächst zu Tierschützerin Loredana, doch dort weinte Orto viel, wenn er nachts alleine in seinem Gehege war und es gab großen Ärger mit den Nachbarn. Daher musste Orto nun auf das kleine Grundstück Eden, dass derzeit mehr als an seiner Kapazitätsgrenze ist umziehen. Hier ist Orto mit der Schäferhündin Angie vergesellschaftet. Doch Orto leidet weiter. Dabei ist Orto ein so liebenswerter, sensibler Hund. Er ist freundlich und sucht die Nähe zu Menschen mit einem großen Herzen. Er braucht dringend ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die Erfahrung mit Hunden haben um ihn seinem Alter entsprechend nun zu fördern. Menschen die sportlich sind und ihn geistig wie körperlich auslasten, aber vor allem Menschen, wo er zur Ruhe kommen kann, die ihn lieben und nie wieder im Stich lassen.Grundsätzlich ist Orto verträglich mit Hunden, wir denken aber, dass er als Einzelhund am glücklichsten wäre. Etwaige Hundepartner sollten allerdings souverän sein und Orto entsprechende Grenzen setzen können, dies nimmt er gut an. Bei unterwürfigen Hunden sehen wir Orto eher nicht.Orto ist kein Hund, der einfach nur „irgendwo mitläuft“. Er ist ein echtes Familienmitglied – voller Lebensfreude, Energie und Hingabe. Aber ohne Menschen an seiner Seite zerbricht er langsam.Wer gibt Orto endlich die Chance auf ein Leben, das er so sehr verdient?Aufenthaltsort: Sizilien Kontakt:

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundesuche Tiere in Not Bayern in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Hundesuche Tiere in Not Bayern 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 — Hundesuche Tiere in Not Bayern 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 Hundesuche Tiere in Not Bayern 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.
