Adopt Tassilo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Tassilo is a kind and clever dog who needs his own home. He loves going for walks and gets along well with other dogs - especially female dogs - sometimes it's just about chemistry. He also handles car rides very well and can be left alone for short periods. However, the time periods should not be too long. Of course, the young dog finds everything interesting and seeks mental stimulation if it is not provided. Therefore, thinking or search games on the go would be exactly right for him. - Tassilo is a very smart little guy and already checks in advance whether there is something for him in the tasks he is given, for example treats. - He still defends his food very much. In general, he defends his resources, so this must definitely be worked on. Moreover, he quickly finds out where the "weaknesses" are in his humans - therefore, these people must definitely be experienced with dogs and make clear commands. Small children are not for him. Tassilo is not a beginner dog and needs clear rules from the start. He must definitely learn how a dog should behave, but playing and rest periods must not be missing. He is also not a family dog, but rather needs an individual person who understands him and can implement these clear commands. Tassilo is actually an unpolished diamond, but with work, patience and effort, he becomes a great companion. Who wants to take on this great task? - Visit Tassilo at the animal shelter and get to know him as he really is. We ask for prior appointment.

Tassilo ist ein lieber und aufgeweckter Hund, der endlich sein eigenes Zuhause braucht. Gassigehen findet er ganz toll und er ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden – vor allem mit Hündinnen – manchmal entscheidet auch die Sympathie. Auch das Autofahren klappt wunderbar und Tassilo kann auch mal alleine bleiben. Allerdings sollten die Zeitspannen nicht zu lange sein. Natürlich findet der Junghund alles interessant und er sucht sich eine Beschäftigung, wenn ihm keine geboten wird. Deswegen wären Denk- oder Suchspiele unterwegs genau das Richtige für ihn. – Tassilo ist ein ganz schlaues Kerlchen und checkt bereits schon im Vorfeld ab, ob bei den Aufgaben, die ihm gestellt werden, etwas für ihn herausspringt, zB. Leckerlis. – Sein Fressen verteidigt er noch sehr. Im Allgemeinen verteidigt er seine Ressourcen, deshalb muss unbedingt daran gearbeitet werden. Außerdem findet er auch ganz schnell heraus, wo bei seinen Menschen die „Schwachstellen“ liegen – deshalb müssen diese unbedingt hundeerfahren sein und klare Ansagen machen. Kleine Kinder sind nichts für ihn. Tassilo ist kein Anfängerhund und braucht von Anfang an klare Regeln. ER muss unbedingt lernen, wie sich ein Hund zu benehmen hat, aber spielen und Ruhepausen dürfen nicht fehlen. Er ist auch kein Familienhund, sondern braucht eher eine Einzelperson, die ihn versteht und diese klaren Ansagen auch umsetzen kann. Tassilo ist eigentlich ein ungeschliffener Diamant, der aber mit Arbeit, Geduld und Spucke zu einem tollen Begleiter wird. Wer möchte diese tolle Aufgabe übernehmen? – Besuchen Sie Tassilo im Tierheim und lernen ihn kennen wie er wirklich ist. Wir bitten um vorherige Terminabsprache. geb. ca.

About Tassilo

What life with Tassilo looks like

Tassilo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Tassilo, answered.

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