Adopt Agathi

Mixed Breed · Female

Agathi is a lively, playful female dog and her lovable, sometimes a bit naive nature is simply irresistible for a cuddle! Age-appropriately spirited and still with many ideas in her head, she occasionally asks her foster mom for a bit more patience – but that’s just how it is with the young spunk, who still doesn’t quite know where she’s going. A glance from her loyal eyes and the occasional “faux pas” are quickly forgiven the little whirlwind. Agathi is at heart a wonderful, very lovable female dog – cuddly, snuggly, and extremely people-oriented. Strangers are greeted with friendliness and fellow animals are immediately invited to play. Our pretty one is a sporty girl. She therefore seeks a home with active people with some knowledge of dogs for this breed. Agathi needs both a loving and consistent upbringing. She is, after all, a Pointer! A house with a well-fenced yard for playing and running around would be an ideal environment. This treasure to fall in love with knows family life, but cats or small pets should be approached with caution, as the hunting dog in her might awaken. A visit to dog training classes would certainly be a enrichment and highly recommended for this smart female dog.

Agathi ist ein lebensfrohes, lustiges Hundemädchen und ihr liebenswertes, manchmal etwas unbedarftes Wesen ist einfach zum Knutschen! Altersgemäß temperamentvoll und noch mit vielen Flausen im Kopf verlangt sie ihrer Pflegemama ab und an ein wenig mehr Geduld ab – aber so ist es eben mit den jungen Spunten, die noch nicht ganz wissen, wo es lang geht. Ein Blick aus den treuen Augen und der eine oder andere „Fauxpas“ ist dem kleinen Wirbelwind jedoch schnell verziehen. Agathi ist vom Herzen eine wunderbare, sehr liebenswerte Hündin – verschmust, anschmiegsam und überaus menschenbezogen. Fremde werden freundlich begrüßt und Artgenossen umgehend zum Spiel aufgefordert. Unsere Hübsche ist ein sportliches Mädel. Sie sucht deshalb ein Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen mit etwas Hundeverstand für diese Rasse. Agathi braucht eine liebevolle, aber auch konsequente Führung. Sie ist eben ein Pointer! Dazu ein Haus mit gut eingezäuntem Garten zum Spielen und Flitzen würde ein ideales Umfeld geben. Dieser Goldschatz zum Verlieben kennt das Familienleben, nur Katzen oder Kleintiere sollten vorsichtshalber nicht dazu gehören, da könnte der Jagdhund in ihr erwachen. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule wäre für diese kluge Hündin sicherlich eine Bereicherung und empfehlenswert.

About Agathi

What life with Agathi looks like

Agathi is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. 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 Agathi, answered.

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