Abby

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Abby is a spayed female dog. She may be a Golden Retriever mix based on her appearance. Abby was born in March 2020. She gets along easily and well with other dogs, but unfortunately, she does not get along with cats. Due to her hunting instinct, she must be kept on a leash most of the time, but she does so without complaint. Abby is a good passenger in the car and can watch the house for several hours alone without any problems. She is vigilant and will reliably alert if someone approaches her home or her human. Abby has good basic obedience and loves search games and long walks through nature. Please also leave a message on the answering machine. We don't have a phone in our pocket while working with the animals because we need our full attention. However, we take time in between to listen to the tape and call back.

Abby ist eine kastrierte Hündin. Dem Aussehen nach vielleicht ein Golden Retriever Mischling. Geboren ist Abby im März 2020. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Abby hier unkompliziert und gut verträglich, mit Katzen versteht sie sich leider nicht. Durch ihren Jagdtrieb muss sie überwiegend an der Leine geführt werden, das macht sie aber anstandslos. Abby ist im Auto eine gute Beifahrerin und hütet das Haus problemlos einige Stunden alleine. Sie ist wachsam und meldet zuverlässig wenn sich ihrem Zuhause oder ihrem Menschen jemand nähert. Abby hat einen guten Grundgehorsam und liebt Suchspiele und ausgiebige Streifzüge durch die Natur. Bitte sprechen Sie auch auf den Anrufbeantworter. Bei der Arbeit mit den Tieren haben wir kein Telefon in der Tasche, denn wir brauchen unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit. Wir nehmen uns aber zwischendurch regelmäßig Zeit, das Band abzuhören und zurückzurufen.

About Abby

What life with Abby looks like

Abby is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzhof Geißblatt in Warpe.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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 — Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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 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 Tierschutzhof Geißblatt 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.
