Anouk

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Anouk is a small, lively and mischievous mouse who brings a lot of joy. She is affectionate, playful and has a great time discovering the world and learning new things. Of course, Anouk still needs to learn the complete dog basics. Housebreaking, basic commands, leash training and everything that belongs to a relaxed coexistence are still on her schedule. We are looking for people who are aware of what it means to take in a puppy. People who bring time, patience and understanding, are willing to visit the dog school with her and lovingly but consistently accompany her through her development. A puppy doesn't just mean joy and cuddle time, but also work, responsibility and sometimes a lot of nonsense.

DE·Show original

Anouk ist eine kleine, aufgeweckte und freche Maus, die jede Menge Lebensfreude mitbringt. Sie ist lieb, verspielt und hat großen Spaß daran, die Welt zu entdecken und Neues zu lernen. Natürlich muss Anouk das komplette Hunde-Einmaleins noch lernen. Stubenreinheit, Grundkommandos, Leinenführigkeit und alles, was zu einem entspannten Zusammenleben dazugehört, stehen noch auf ihrem Stundenplan. Für Anouk suchen wir Menschen, die sich bewusst sind, was es bedeutet, einen Welpen aufzunehmen. Menschen, die Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis mitbringen, bereit sind, mit ihr die Hundeschule zu besuchen und sie liebevoll, aber konsequent durch ihre Entwicklung zu begleiten. Ein Welpe bedeutet nicht nur Freude und Kuschelstunden, sondern auch Arbeit, Verantwortung und manchmal ganz schön viel Unsinn.

About Anouk

What life with Anouk looks like

Anouk is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Anouk, answered.

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