Tao

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Diese vier Welpen wurden kurz nach der Geburt ausgesetzt. Dass man sie ins Nirgendwo brachte und bewusst in Kauf nahm, dass sie hier elendig sterben würden, zeigt die Herzlosigkeit des Besitzers. Aber die Vier hatten Glück und wurden von Einheimischen gefunden. Man brachte sie in unser Kooperationstierheim, wo sie aufgepäppelt wurden. Heute sind es vier muntere Jungs, die spielen, toben und einfach nur Spaß haben wollen. Dies ist Tao. Er und sein Bruder Tito sind kaum zu unterscheiden. Die Beiden sind sehr verspielt, haben viel Unsinn im Kopf und können sehr gut die Schnürsenkel der Helfer aufmachen 🙂 Tao und Tito sind richtige Lausbuben, die ganz viel gute Laune verbreiten. Wir suchen für die Jungs je eine Familie, in der sie geliebt und gefördert werden. Es handelt sich um Maremmanomischlinge. Daher sollten Sie Hundeerfahrung und einen Garten besitzen. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre oder älter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen. Wir empfehlen immer den Besuch einer Hundeschule bzw. Welpenschule, wo man als Mensch-Hund-Team zusammenwächst. Wenn Sie Fragen zu Tao haben, dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Gerne beantworten wir Ihre Fragen Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Tao

What life with Tao looks like

Tao is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Tao, answered.

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