How do I contact the shelter about Theo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Paderborn 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 — Tierheim Paderborn 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 Tierheim Paderborn 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.

Theo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Leo finally wants to arrive… around 7 years old, 35-40 cm in height. Leo hasn't had it good in his life so far. For a long time, he spent time in a Romanian killing shelter and was rescued three years ago. He was allowed to move into a private shelter and spent years there, being cared for but without love and affection. No one has shown interest in him until now. To ensure he is finally seen, we brought him here. He now lives on a private foster home with other dogs and shows himself to be friendly, peaceful, and very people-oriented. Yes, he is not the youngest anymore… but still in the best dog years. And he suffers from epilepsy. He is already well-adjusted and is now looking for his people who can handle his diagnosis and commit to it. With the right medication, he is seizure-free. He also has a shortened tail as a result of a violent injury. The people who don't judge him based on his handicaps will get a dream companion for their life. We are here to answer any questions about the condition. Who is looking for a calm, uncomplicated companion for life and is willing to accommodate Leo's handicaps? He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has a valid EU passport. Anyone who wants to give Leo a chance can contact CorCanis e.V.

About Theo

What life with Theo looks like

Theo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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.
