Pitagora

Mixed Breed · Unknown

This lovable Pitagora has been waiting for his chance to leave the shelter and move to a forever home for five years now. Once rescued from the streets of Bucharest and brought to Odai Animal Shelter, Pitagora lived in a kennel with some other older dogs and was gradually forgotten. He saw many dog friends come and go and remained unnoticed himself. It's hard to understand why Pitagora is such a lovable dog. Maybe because he didn't rush to the gate when a visitor came, or maybe because he didn't have a cuteness factor. But Pitagora has a heart full of love. Only when some places became available in the socialization program did this reserved Pitagura finally get a place and his chance. The volunteers quickly noticed how friendly and affectionate, albeit cautious, Pitagora was towards them. Initially, they visited him in his kennel and fed him by hand, so he quickly lost his shyness. From then on, he was always happy when someone came to him. Unfortunately, a already advanced heartworm disease was diagnosed in him, which required immediate treatment. Regular examinations showed that his health has improved, but he needs to take medication daily and needs rest. For this reason, the dear Pitagora was temporarily accommodated in a kennel in a quiet place for himself. Pitagura is now much better! He is in a good mood and is looking forward to walks and the Sunday meeting in the open run with his dog friend Cinderella. He now accepts the harness and leash without any problems. He gets along very well with other dogs and, as mentioned earlier, is very attached to people and trusts them now.

Dieser liebenswerte Pitagora wartet nun schon so lange, genau genommen seit fünf Jahren, auf seine Chance, endlich das Tierheim verlassen zu dürfen und in ein für immer zuhause umzuziehen. Einst von den Straßen Bukarests gerettet und ins Tierheim Odai gebracht, lebte Pitagora dort mit einigen anderen, älteren Hunden zusammen in einem Zwinger und geriet mit der Zeit einfach in Vergessenheit. Er sah viele Hundekumpel kommen und gehen und blieb selbst immer unbeachtet zurück. Schwer zu verstehen, da Pitagora so ein liebenswerter Hundebube ist. Vielleicht weil er nicht ans Gitter stürmte, wenn ein Besucher kam, oder vielleicht weil er keinen Niedlichkeitsfaktor besaß. Aber Pitagora besitzt dafür ein Herz voller Liebe. Erst als im Sozialisierungsprogramm einige Plätze frei wurden, bekam dieser zurückhaltende Pitagura endlich dort einen Platz und seine Chance. Schnell bemerkten die Freiwilligen wie freundlich und zugetan, wenn auch noch mit Vorsicht, Pitagora sich ihnen gegenüber zeigte. Zunächst besuchten sie ihn in seinem Zwinger und gaben ihm das Futter aus der Hand, sodass er sehr schnell seine Scheu verlor. Fortan freute er sich immer, wenn jemand zu ihm kam. Dann wurde bei ihm leider eine schon fortgeschrittene Herzwurm-Erkrankung festgestellt, die eine sofortige Behandlung erforderte. Die regelmäßigen Untersuchungen zeigten, dass sich sein Gesundheitszustand zwar schon gebessert hat, er aber täglich Medikamente nehmen muss, und Ruhe braucht. Aus diesem Grund wurde der liebe Pitagora vorübergehend, an einem ruhigen Ort für sich alleine, in einem Zwinger einquartiert. Pitagura geht es inzwischen schon viel besser! Er zeigt sich gut gelaunt und freut sich auf Spaziergänge und das sonntägliche Treffen im Freilauf, mit seiner Hundefreundin Cinderella. Er akzeptiert mittlerweile das Geschirr und die Leine problemlos. Er versteht sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und ist, wie schon erwähnt, den Menschen sehr zugetan und vertraut ihnen inzwischen.

About Pitagora

What life with Pitagora looks like

Pitagora is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 Pitagora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pitagora?
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 Pitagora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pitagora 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 Pitagora 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 Pitagora 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 Pitagora 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.
