Pako

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Loving but traumatized Pako seeks an experienced home without small children Pako (4 years and 7 months old, male, microchipped and vaccinated) is at heart a very loyal, intelligent, and people-oriented dog. He loves being close to his trusted people, prefers to sleep near the bed, and follows basic commands ("Sit," "Wait," "No," "Down") very well. In the house he behaves exemplarily: he is house-trained, does not chew furniture, cables, or textiles, and leaves the furnishings completely alone. Unfortunately, Pako has suffered severe trauma through war and flight. He suffers from strong separation anxiety and shows a pronounced defensive reaction when he is in physical pain, startled, or needs to be groomed (for example, when having his paws washed or during vet visits). In painful situations, he can clearly show his limits when touched in ways that feel threatening and may become aggressive. Since a baby recently moved into our home and is now starting to crawl, we can no longer guarantee the necessary safety in everyday life. Pako urgently needs a calm home with dog-experienced people (ideally without small children) who can give him the security he needs through patience, clear structure, and without pressure. Pako currently lives in 27578 Bremerhaven. Anyone who would like to get to know him with the aim of giving him a home, please contact us at the number below. The animal welfare association OHZ provides placement assistance only and assumes no responsibility.

Liebevoller, aber traumatisierter Pako sucht erfahrenes Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder Pako (4 Jahre und 7 Monate alt, Rüde, gechipt und geimpft) ist im Grunde ein sehr treuer, intelligenter und menschenbezogener Hund. Er liebt die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen, schläft am liebsten in der Nähe des Bettes und befolgt Grundkommandos („Sitz“, „Warte“, „Nein“, “Runter”) sehr gut. Im Haus verhält er sich vorbildlich: Er ist stubenrein, knabbert keine Möbel, Kabel oder Textilien an und lässt die Einrichtung völlig unberührt. Leider hat Pako durch Krieg und Flucht ein schweres Trauma erlitten. Er leidet unter starker Trennungsangst und zeigt eine ausgeprägte Abwehrreaktion, wenn er körperliche Schmerzen hat, erschrickt oder gepflegt werden muss (z. B. beim Pfotenwaschen oder Tierarztbesuchen). In Schmerzsituationen kann er bei bedrängenden Berührungen sehr deutlich seine Grenzen zeigen und ausfallend werden. Da bei uns vor Kurzem ein Baby eingezogen ist, das nun zu krabbeln beginnt, können wir die nötige Sicherheit im Alltag nicht mehr gewährleisten. Pako braucht dringend ein ruhiges Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen (idealerweise ohne kleine Kinder), die ihm mit Geduld, klarer Struktur und ohne Druck die nötige Sicherheit geben können. Pako lebt derzeit in 27578 Bremerhaven. Wer ihn kennen lernen möchte um ihm ein Zuhause zu schenken meldet sich bitte unter der Nummer . Der Tierschutzverein OHZ leistet lediglich Vermittlungshilfe und übernimmt keine Verantwortung.

About Pako

What life with Pako looks like

Pako is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. in Osterholz-Scharmbeck.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pako, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pako?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pako on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pako if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. whether they will for Pako, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pako already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. lists Pako as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pako isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pako 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.
