Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Leo – liebevoller Senior wünscht sich geruhsamen Lebensabend Leo ist ca. im November 2015 geboren und hat in seinem Leben schon viel erlebt. Als Streuner wurde er immer wieder versorgt und reiste oft und gerne alleine mit dem Zug – bis er einen leichten Unfall hatte. Seit rund fünf Jahren lebt er nun bei Sabrina im Refugium. Leo ist ein freundlicher, ruhiger und sehr anhänglicher Hund, der menschliche Nähe über alles liebt. Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden, doch Katzen sollten in seinem Zuhause nicht leben. Vor einigen Jahren hatte Leo einige epileptische Anfälle, doch seit er täglich ein Medikament erhält, ist er seit über drei Jahren anfallsfrei. Die Tabletten müssen dauerhaft gegeben werden, schränken ihn aber nicht ein – Leo ist stabil, fröhlich und lebensfroh. Wer schenkt diesem wunderbaren Senior noch einmal Geborgenheit, Liebe und einen Platz, an dem er ankommen darf?

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Alba for Animals e.V. in Oberhausen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Alba for Animals e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Alba for Animals 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Leo 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 Leo 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 Alba for Animals e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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.
