Tilo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Der sanfte Tilo ist noch sehr schüchtern. Schnellen Bewegungen oder trubeligen Begegnungen während der Spaziergänge verunsichern ihn noch sehr. Er braucht eine Weile, um Vertrauen zu Menschen aufzubauen, lässt sich trotz seiner Schüchternheit aber anfassen und gut händeln.Für diesen kleinen Hasenfuß wären souveräne und hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihn nicht bemitleiden, sondern ihm Zuversicht und Sicherheit bieten und Situationen für ihn und mit ihm gemeinsam managen. So kann er hoffentlich lernen, dass ihm viele Menschen wohlgesonnen sind und auch unterwegs keine Gefahr droht. In Begleitung seiner Hundefreundin geht er prima spazieren und meistert tapfer alle neuen Situationen. Kleine Snacks locken ihn aus seinem manchmal noch vorhandenen Schneckenhaus und helfen ihm, ein wenig mutiger die neuen Situationen zu bewältigen.Mit Artgenossen ist Tilo bestens verträglich und würde sich über einen vorhandenen Hundekumpel in seinem Zuhause freuen. Aufgrund seiner Schüchternheit sucht er in ruhiger Stadtrandlage oder eher ländlich ein neues Zuhause, stark belebte Stadtteile wären möglicherweise ein wenig viel für ihn.Tilo ist zur Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle und kann nur nach vorheriger Terminabsprache kennengelernt werden.

About Tilo

What life with Tilo looks like

Tilo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tilo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tilo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tilo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tilo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tilo 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 Tilo 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 Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tilo 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.
