Abby

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Abby is a little shy, someone left her in the village on the street between the cars. She ran around for a few days everywhere, trying to hide, until a woman saw her next to her fence. She was full of ticks and had sores. And she was so scared that she bit when the woman caught her. Now she is just a little more reserved, but she comes willingly for petting and lets herself be stroked. Slowly, she is beginning to trust humans. Before she can board the Lucky Bus, she will be lovingly cared for in the shelter and can continue to learn trust and get healthy. But she can already start looking for a family.

DE·Show original

Abby ist ein bisschen schüchtern, jemand hat sie im Dorf auf der Straße zwischen den Autos ausgesetzt. Sie rannte ein paar Tage lang überall hin, um sich zu verstecken, bis eine Frau sie neben ihrem Zaun sah. Sie war voller Zecken und hatte Räude. Und sie war so verängstigt, dass sie biss, als die Frau sie fing. Jetzt ist sie nur noch ein bisschen zurückhaltend, aber sie kommt von selbst zur Hand und lässt sich streicheln. Langsam fasst sie also Vertrauen zum Menschen. Bis sie in den Glücksbus steigen kann wird sie liebevoll im Shelter versorgt und kann weiter Vertrauen lernen und gesund werden. Aber nach einer Familie kann sie sich trotzdem schon mal umschauen.

About Abby

What life with Abby looks like

Abby is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe in Aschaffenburg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Abby, answered.

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