Amber

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Amber had to come to us because her owner passed away. Unfortunately, her owner was no longer able to care for Amber properly, leaving some health issues that need attention. Amber is a totally cheerful and playful dog, despite her age. She generally gets along well with other dogs, but the second dog shouldn't be too energetic. Amber really doesn't like being left alone and becomes strongly attached to her primary caregiver—after all, she’s spent her entire life with her human companion. Children should be somewhat older. Amber has Cushing's disease and is currently undergoing treatment. It’s probably for this reason that she has so little fur. In addition, an ultrasound is still pending. Our caregivers will be happy to provide you with more details. Who will give our sweet Amber a loving home for her golden years?

DE·Show original

Amber musste zu uns, weil ihre Besitzerin verstorben ist. Leider konnte sie sich auch nicht mehr richtig um Amber kümmern, so dass sie gesundheitlich ein paar offene Baustellen hat. Amber ist eine total lustige und trotz ihrem Alter verspielte Hündin. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie grundsätzlich verträglich, aber der Zweithund sollte nicht zu wild sein. Amber bleibt ungern alleine und fixiert sich stark auf ihre Bezugsperson. Sie war ja auch ihr lebenlang mit ihrem Frauchen zusammen. Kinder sollten schon etwas größer sein. Amber hat Cushing und wird gerade eingestellt. Vermutlich deshalb hat sie auch so wenig Fell. Außerdem steht noch ein Ultraschall aus. Details erklären euch gerne die Pfleger. Wer gibt unsere lieben Amber ein Zuhause für ihren Lebensabend?

About Amber

What life with Amber looks like

Amber is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amber, answered.

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