How do I contact the shelter about Amy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Karlsruhe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Amy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 Amy 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 Amy 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 Karlsruhe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amy 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.

Amy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Amy came to us through the veterinary office due to poor previous care. She is generally open and friendly with people, very affectionate and cuddly with trusted individuals. She gets along with other dogs based on compatibility, which we are still testing. When Amy arrived, she was walking poorly and her coat looked bad, but this has improved. Examinations revealed she has arthritis in her elbows and may need pain medication as needed. Due to incidents with her previous owner, Amy has muzzle and leash requirements, though the muzzle requirement might be lifted with appropriate testing. We hope Amy finds a loving home - she is a truly loveable dog.

Amy kam über das Veterinäramt zu uns, da ihre bisherigen Haltungsbedingungen leider nicht optimal waren. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich in der Regel offen, freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Bei vertrauten Personen ist Amy besonders anhänglich und genießt jede Form von Zuwendung und Nähe. Kuscheleinheiten gehören für sie einfach dazu. Mit anderen Hunden ist Amy je nach Sympathie verträglich. Für ihr neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns jedoch einen Platz als Einzelprinzessin, in dem sie die ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen genießen kann. Als Amy zu uns kam, hatte sie deutliche gesundheitliche Probleme. Sie lief sehr schlecht und auch ihr Fell befand sich in keinem guten Zustand. Dank der liebevollen Pflege und Versorgung hat sich ihr Allgemeinzustand inzwischen deutlich verbessert. Bei tierärztlichen Untersuchungen wurde jedoch festgestellt, dass sie bereits an Arthrose in den Ellenbogengelenken leidet. Damit sie schmerzfrei bleibt und sich möglichst gut bewegen kann, erhält sie dauerhaft entsprechende Medikamente. Aufgrund von Vorfällen bei ihrem Vorbesitzer war für Amy ursprünglich ein Maulkorb- und Leinenzwang angeordnet worden. Nachdem sie im Tierheim erfolgreich eine entsprechende Prüfung abgelegt und gezeigt hat, wie positiv sie sich entwickelt hat, konnte diese Auflage wieder aufgehoben werden. Nun hoffen wir sehr, für Amy ein liebevolles und verständnisvolles Zuhause zu finden. Sie ist eine wirklich liebenswerte Hündin, die trotz ihrer Vergangenheit ihr freundliches Wesen bewahrt hat und ihren Menschen viel Freude schenken wird. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Amy interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Amy. Natürlich freut sich Amy auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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.

Note from the shelter: Has arthritis in elbows requiring occasional pain medication. Subject to muzzle and leash requirements due to previous incidents with former owner.

🇩🇪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.
