Amira

Mixed Breed · Male

To Amira, three adjectives come to mind: Wunderschön, cuddly, intelligent. The foster mom describes her as an absolute dream dog. At home, Amira is quiet and reserved, preferring to be with her people all the time and getting snuggles. During walks, she walks obediently on the leash. She gets along well with male dogs, while with female dogs, it depends on their chemistry. In the foster family, Amira lives with several other dogs, with whom she can also stay alone without issues. When it comes to birds, Amira shows hunting motivation. The cute little girl dog knows the foster family, and even car rides bring her joy. As Amira is very intelligent and eager to learn, she needs enough stimulation to fully embody the characteristics of a Border Collie.

Zu Amira fallen einem drei Adjektive ein: Wunderschön, verschmust, intelligent. Das Pflegefrauchen beschreibt sie als absoluten Traumhund. Im Haus verhält sich Amira still und zurückhaltend, am liebsten ist sie die ganze Zeit bei ihren Menschen und lässt sich knuddeln. Bei Spaziergängen läuft sie vorbildlich an der Leine. Mit Rüden versteht sie sich gut, bei Hündinnen entscheidet die Sympathie. In der Pflegefamilie lebt Amira mit mehreren Hunden zusammen, mit denen sie auch problemlos allein bleiben kann. Bei Vögeln zeigt sich Amira jagdlich motiviert. Kinder kennt das hübsche Hundemädchen und auch das Autofahren bereitet ihr Freude. Da Amira sehr intelligent und lernwillig ist, benötigt sie genügend Auslastung, um auch den Charaktereigenschaften des Border Collie gerecht zu werden.

About Amira

What life with Amira looks like

Amira is a 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 Amira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amira?
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 Amira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Amira 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 Amira 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 Amira 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 Amira 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.
