ARLETTE

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

ARLETTE 7 years old Bully mix Female Handicap: cataracts, one-sided hip problem 20 kg food sponsorship possible This Bully mix female loves people above all and is gentle and respectful with them. Other dogs, however, seem incredibly dangerous to her, and she appears unable to judge the speed and intentions of the dog opposite her. Whether this is due to anticipated pain (her hip), bad experiences, the cataracts causing significant loss of vision, or a mixture of all of these, we cannot say for certain. The less intimidating a dog is, the better she gets along with it. Other dogs may also interact with her, play, or take away her food or toys. Same-sex peers, however, are her arch-enemies. In such situations she follows the motto "attack is the best defense." Because of her conditional tolerance of other dogs, a high dog population or living in the city would not be ideal in her new home. Life in the countryside would be a dream for this little girl! Her hip damage went unnoticed for a long time because she did not show the pain. People may touch her anywhere, and even at the vet she is a dream during examinations. She also loves children. For Arlette we are looking for a forever home without other animals, or possibly with a calm or likewise handicapped male dog (she also enjoys playing with dogs she knows from time to time, but this should be kept within limits until after an operation). Given her age, she is content with romps in the garden and extensive sniffing adventures, and she does not need long kilometer-long walks. She hates cold and rain, and we cannot blame her for that. However, even in lousy weather one still has to go outside. She finds this rather annoying, but can be persuaded with a sweater or a raincoat. She can stay alone, is house-trained, and welcomes every visitor warmly. She loves apples and is happy about every one she gets!

ARLETTE 7 Jahre altBully-MixHündinHandicap: grauer Star, Hüfte einseitig20 kgFutterpatenschaft möglich Die Bulli-Mix Hündin liebt Menschen über alles und ist mit ihnen sanft und respektvoll. Andere Hunde kommen ihr allerdings wahnsinnig gefährlich vor und sie scheint keine Geschwindigkeit und Absicht ihres Gegenübers einschätzen zu können. Ob eine Schmerzerwartung (Hüfte), schlechte Erfahrungen, oder durch den grauen Star bedingt enorme Sichteinbuße und eine Mischung aus allem der Grund dafür ist, können wir nicht fest sagen. Je weniger gruselig ein Hund ist, desto besser kommt sie mit ihnen klar. Und sie dürfen auch mit ihr interagieren, spielen, ihr Futter oder ihr Spielzeug wegnehmen. Gleichaltrige Hündinnen sind dafür ihr Erzfeind. Sie würde dabei nach dem Motto 'Angriff ist die beste Verteidigung' handeln. Hohes Hundeaufkommen oder Wohnen in der Stadt wäre aufgrund ihrer bedingten Verträglichkeit nicht wünschenswert in ihrem neuen Zuhause. Ein Leben auf dem Land wäre ein Traum für die Maus!Lange blieb ihr Hüftschaden unbemerkt, da sie den Schmerz nicht zeigte, Menschen dürfen sie überall anfassen, selbst zum Tierarzt ist sie bei Untersuchungen ein Traum. Auch Kinder liebt sie. Für Arlette suchen wir einen Gnadenplatz ohne weitere Tiere oder mit ggf. einem ruhigen oder vielleicht ebenfalls gehandicapten Rüden (Sie spielt auch ab und an gerne mit den Hunden, die sie kennt, das soll sich allerdings vor einer Operation noch in Grenzen halten).Aufgrund ihres Alters gibt sie sich auch mit Toberunden im Garten oder umfangreichen Schnupper-Abenteuern zufrieden und braucht keine kilometerlangen Touren.Sie hasst die Kälte und Regen, wir können ihr das nicht verübeln, allerdings muss man bei Sauwetter trotzdem raus. Da findet sie relativ doof, lässt sich aber mit einem Pullover oder einer Regenjacke doch überreden. Sie kann alleine bleiben, ist stubenrein und heißt jeden Besucher herzlich willkommen. Sie liebt Äpfel und freut sich über jeden, den sie bekommt!

About ARLETTE

What life with ARLETTE looks like

ARLETTE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARLETTE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ARLETTE?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ARLETTE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ARLETTE if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for ARLETTE, what they require (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 ARLETTE already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for ARLETTE. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if ARLETTE isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know ARLETTE 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.
