Adopt Theo

Mixed Breed · Male

Theo is a 4.5-year-old male dog from animal rescue in Romania. He weighs 20 kg and is neutered and vaccinated. With heavy hearts, we—a family with three children—have decided to rehome him. During encounters with other dogs, he sometimes reacts unpredictably, lunging on the leash and occasionally snapping or biting, which has already resulted in bites to other dogs as well as family members walking him. At home, however, he is very playful, affectionate, intelligent, and loves cuddling with “his” pack. He is extremely well-trained, knows all common commands (Sit, Down, Stay, Stand, Wait, No, Leave it, Fetch, etc.), and reliably comes when called. He can comfortably be left alone for several hours, and car rides pose no problem for him either. We are looking for a calm home for Theo with experienced dog owners and plenty of access to nature. A confident, calm lead dog would certainly help him overcome his insecurities, though this is not a requirement. For a meet-and-greet, please contact Theresa ().

Theo ist ein 4,5 jähriger Rüde aus dem Tierschutz in Rumänien. Er ist 20 kg schwer, kastriert und geimpft. Schweren Herzens haben wir uns, eine Familie mit 3 Kindern, dazu entschieden, ihn abzugeben. Bei Begegnungen mit anderen Hunden reagiert er teilweise unberechenbar, springt in die Leine und beißt dann manchmal um sich, was bereits zu Bissen sowohl anderer Hunde als auch den Familienmitgliedern geführt hat, die mit ihm Gassi gehen. Zuhause ist er sehr verspielt, zugewandt, intelligent und kuschelt gerne mit „seinem“ Rudel. Er ist sehr gut erzogen, kennt alle gängigen Anweisungen (Sitz, Platz, Beib, Steh, Warte, Nein, Aus, Bring,…) und reagiert zuverlässig auf Rückruf. Er kann problemlos für mehrere Stunden alleine bleiben. Auch Autofahren ist kein Problem. Wir suchen für Theo einen ruhigen Platz mit Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung und viel Natur. Ein souveräner Leithund würde ihm sicher helfen, seine Unsicherheiten zu überwinden, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Für ein Kennenlernen bitte melden bei Theresa ()

About Theo

What life with Theo looks like

Theo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu in Kempten.

An 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 Theo, answered.

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