How do I contact the shelter about Theo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life e.V. 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 — Care-4-life 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. 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 Care-4-life e.V. 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 · Male · Young · 1 year

For interest in our beloved Theo, please send our filled-out application form to us. Our dogs, including Theo, usually come directly from Turkey to their families. What we know about Theo: Who wouldn't love a big, friendly, and playful dog? Please scroll down. Theo arrived with his mother and several siblings as a newborn puppy in June 2024. At that time, he was still a tiny bundle of fur. With loving care from our team in Ankara, the little ones developed well. No wonder that Theo's siblings all found loving homes. Only Theo remains. By now, the friendly young pup has reached his full size, measuring a proud 70 centimeters at the shoulder. No matter how long he has been waiting, Theo always shows himself to be very friendly and playful. It's now high time that he gets to know the world and also attends some dog training classes. Maybe you are a loving and adventurous person with a garden that he so desperately needs? And what breed is Theo actually? Well…with Theo, like often with dogs left to themselves, the breeds have mixed well. We suspect a Golden Retriever mix, maybe a bit of Labrador, but also a herding dog with long legs is part of the mix. We can't explain this fantastic combination of a friendly temperament, willingness to learn, and imposing figure in any other way. Do you have a desire to get to know Theo better? Feel free to apply! Nice to know: Theo's enthusiasm is contagious. For interest in our beloved Theo, please send our filled-out application form to:

Bei Interesse an unserem lieben Theo schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Unsere Hunde - so auch Theo - kommen in der Regel direkt aus der Türkei zu ihren Familien. Was wir über Theo wissen: Wer mag große, zutrauliche, verspielte Hunde? Bitte hier entlang. Theo kam im Juni 2024 als neugeborener Welpe zu uns, mit Mutter und mehreren Geschwistern. Da war er noch ein winziges kleines Fellknäuel. Bei liebevoller Pflege durch unser Team in Ankara entwickelten sich die Kleinen prächtig. Kein Wunder, dass Theos Geschwister alle ein liebevolles Zuhause finden konnten. Nur Theo ist übrig. Dabei ist er mittlerweile schwer zu übersehen, denn der freundliche Jungspund hat seine volle Größe erreicht. Er misst stolze 70 Zentimeter Schulterhöhe. Egal wie lange er schon wartet, Theo zeigt sich immer wieder sehr zutraulich und verspielt. Jetzt ist es aber höchste Zeit, dass er die Welt kennenlernt und auch mal eine Hundeschule besuchen darf. Vielleicht bist du ja ein lieber und abenteuerlustiger Mensch mit Garten, den er so dringend braucht? Und welche Rasse ist Theo eigentlich? Tja…Bei Theo haben sich, wie so oft bei sich selbst überlassenen Hunden, die Rassen schick vermischt. Wir vermuten einen Anteil Golden Retriever, vielleicht ein bisschen Labrador, doch auch ein Hirtenhund mit langen Beinen wird da mitgemischt haben. Anders können wir uns diese super Kombination aus zutraulichem Temperament, Lernbereitschaft und imposanter Figur nicht erklären. Hast du Lust, Theo näher kenne zu lernen? Bewirb dich gerne! Nice to know: Theos Lebensfreude ist ansteckend Bei Interesse an unserem lieben Theo schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Interessentenbogen bitte an:

About Theo

What life with Theo looks like

Theo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
