How do I contact the shelter about Otto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiere in Spanien e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Otto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Otto if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiere in Spanien 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 Otto 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 Otto 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 Tiere in Spanien e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Otto 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.

Otto

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Size: 57 cmAge: * 07/2021. Compatible withMales: NoFemales: NoCats: NoSince we've had him: Since June 2024 – Here comes the "Mister Universum" of the animal shelter, Otto, a super-friendly and very lovable fellow whom we all really like. We think that Otto would be an ideal partner for someone who doesn't want a too small dog. Otto is well-balanced and very nice, and in the village, he reacts very cool to all the noises, and even though there are many people and movements, he accepts it and says nothing. Otto can very well walk on a leash, and the car rides work out great. Additionally, he feels comfortable with people and enjoys our cuddles and is grateful for our attention and time with him. He is very intelligent and eager to learn, and very friendly. In the animal shelter, Otto has always been very friendly and pleasant in all these months he's been with us. And with those eyes and that little face… truly lovable! We are looking for a single spot for Otto. The barking of another dog in the city doesn't bother him, but he doesn't tolerate the proximity of a few dogs in his individual space. Otto deserves a family now, because he has already waited enough months with us, and we hope very much that our wonderful Otto can soon say goodbye to us and become a beloved family member of wonderful people.

Größe: 57 cmAlter: * 07/2021. Verträglich mitRüden: NeinHündinnen: NeinKatzen: NeinBei uns seit: Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Castellbisbal Juni 2024 – Hier kommt der „Mister Universum“ des Tierheimes, Otto, ein mit Menschen super-verträglicher und sehr lieber echt wunderschöner Kerl, den wir alle sehr mögen. Wir denken, dass Otto ein idealer Partner für jemanden, der keinen zu kleinen Hund sucht, wäre. Otto ist ausgeglichen und sehr nett, im Dorf reagiert er ganz cool auf die vielen Geräusche, und auch wenn es sehr viele Menschen und Bewegungen gibt, akzeptiert er es und sagt nichts. Otto kann sehr gut an der Leine laufen, und das Autofahren klappt prima. Zudem fühlt er sich wohl mit Menschen und genießt unsere Streicheleinheiten und ist dankbar für unsere Aufmerksamkeit und für unsere Zeit mit ihm. Er ist sehr intelligent und lernwillig, und sehr sympathisch. Im Tierheim ist Otto in all diesen Monaten, die er schon bei uns ist, immer sehr freundlich und angenehm gewesen. Und mit diesen Augen und dem Gesichtchen… echt zum verlieben! Wir suchen für Otto einen Einzelplatz. Das anbellen eines anderen Hundes in der Stadt kümmert ihn nicht-jedoch duldet er die Nähe von einigen Hunden in seiner Individualdistanz nicht. Otto verdient nun endlich eine eigene Familie, denn er hat schon genug Monate bei uns gewartet und wir hoffen sehr, dass unser toller Otto sich bald von uns verabschieden kann und endlich ein geliebtes Familienmitglied von tollen Menschen werden darf.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
