Polo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

Polo is a friendly mixed-breed male dog who is currently in our partner animal shelter Hogar de Asis, waiting for a loving home with people he can share a beautiful life with. Polo was originally taken from a Perrera and has been in the care of our animal welfare partner Tere since June 2026. Unfortunately, we do not have any information about his past, but due to his people-oriented nature, we do not expect him to have had any bad experiences. Friendly, open-minded, and adventurous, he has everything you would want from a loyal companion. Below, we have posted various videos of Polo so you can get a realistic picture of him. If you are seriously interested, we would be happy to send you more videos. Polo is well integrated into the animal shelter routine. He knows the procedures and has built a trusting relationship with his two caregivers, Tere and Josephine. He loves to cuddle and shows himself to be a real "buddy dog" who goes along with everything. When he is allowed to go outside to the exercise yard during the morning cleaning, he can really let his joy of life run free. He loves to sniff, play with balls, and run around with other dogs. In the animal shelter situation, he is always open to all people and new situations. If you are looking for a cheerful and versatile companion for shared activities, you should definitely take a closer look at Polo. Whether on daily walks, exciting hikes and weekend outings, bike tours or as a travel companion - after a proper acclimatization period and with a loving basic training, Polo will be enthusiastic about many things. Since Polo likes to move, he would certainly appreciate access to a garden. However, he can also be happy in an apartment - provided his people enjoy spending time in nature or have the opportunity to regularly visit a free-range area.

Polo ist ein sympathischer Mischlingsrüde, der sich in unserem Partnertierheim Hogar de Asis befindet und von dort aus auf ein liebevolles Zuhause wartet – bei Menschen, mit denen er gemeinsam ein schönes Leben führen darf. Ursprünglich wurde Polo aus einer Perrera übernommen und befindet sich seit Juni 2026 in der Obhut unserer Tierschutzpartnerin Tere. Über seine Vergangenheit liegen uns keine Informationen vor. Aufgrund seines menschenbezogenen Wesens gehen wir jedoch nicht davon aus, dass er schlechte Erfahrungen machen musste. Freundlich, weltoffen und unternehmungslustig bringt er alles mit, was man sich von einem treuen Begleiter wünscht. Weiter unten haben wir verschiedene Videos von Polo eingestellt, damit Sie sich ein realistisches Bild von ihm machen können. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse lassen wir Ihnen selbstverständlich auch gerne weitere Videos zukommen. Polo ist bestens in den Tierheimalltag integriert. Er kennt die Abläufe und hat zu seinen beiden Betreuerinnen, Tere und Josephine, eine vertrauensvolle Bindung aufgebaut. Er liebt es zu kuscheln und zeigt sich als richtiger „Kumpelhund“, der jeden Quatsch mitmacht. Wenn er vormittags während der Reinigungsarbeiten nach draußen in den Auslauf darf, kann er seiner Lebensfreude so richtig freien Lauf lassen. Er liebt es zu schnuppern, Bällchen zu spielen und mit anderen Hunden umherzurennen. Dabei zeigt er sich in der Tierheimsituation gegenüber allen Menschen und neuen Situationen stets aufgeschlossen. Wer einen fröhlichen und vielseitigen Begleiter für gemeinsame Unternehmungen sucht, sollte sich Polo unbedingt genauer anschauen. Ob bei täglichen Spaziergängen, spannenden Wanderungen und Ausflügen am Wochenende, Fahrradtouren oder als Reisebegleiter – nach einer angemessenen Eingewöhnungszeit und mit einer liebevollen Grunderziehung wird Polo für vieles zu begeistern sein. Da sich Polo gerne bewegt, würde er sich sicherlich über den Zugang zu einem Garten freuen. Er kann aber ebenso glücklich in einer Wohnung leben – vorausgesetzt, seine Menschen verbringen selbst gerne Zeit in der Natur oder haben die Möglichkeit, regelmäßig ein Freilaufgelände zu besuchen.

About Polo

What life with Polo looks like

Polo 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Polo, answered.

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