Ouzo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Als Ouzo 2022 nach Deutschland kam, waren alle großer Hoffnung. Doch weil er das Misstrauen gegenüber seiner Familie auch nach einem Jahr nicht ablegen konnte, wurde Ouzo dem Tierschutzverein Offenbach übergeben – wo er nach wie vor auf ein Zuhause wartet. Ouzo zeigt im Tierheim unterschiedliche Gesichter. Draußen hat der lebhafte und verspielte Rüde oft gute Laune. Er tobt mit den Hündinnen herum und genießt den Tag. Drinnen kommt sein Misstrauen gegenüber Menschen schneller zum Vorschein und er ist offensichtlich gestresst. Ouzo ist ein Hund, der seine Freiheit braucht und wenig Interesse daran hat, Menschen zu gefallen. Bedrängt man ihn oder versucht etwas zu erzwingen, dann beißt er zu. Es wird Geduld und Training brauchen, um Ouzos Vertrauen zu gewinnen und sein Verhalten dauerhaft zu verändern. Frauen werden es dabei einfacher haben als Männer, denen er grundsätzlich misstrauischer begegnet. Ouzo wünscht sich ein ländliches Zuhause mit eingezäuntem Garten – ohne Kinder. Er verbringt gerne viel Zeit draußen, benötigt aber auch Anschluss an seine Familie. Wenn bereits eine souveräne Ersthündin vorhanden ist, wäre das ideal. Ouzo kann nach vorheriger Absprache im Tierheim Offenbach besucht werden. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Ouzo

What life with Ouzo looks like

Ouzo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

An 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 Ouzo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ouzo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ouzo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ouzo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 Ouzo 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 Ouzo 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ouzo 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.
