Aurora &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Aurora – a sensitive Schäfer-Mix-female dog with a heavy past seeks a home Aurora, a female dog approximately 2 years old, is a Schäfer-Mix and currently lives in Nuremberg. She is in search of a new home with experienced dog owners. Already as a puppy around four weeks old, she suffered a brain hemorrhage due to severe mistreatment. Our veterinarians state that the neurological effects are not treatable. A spastic gait and uncertainties are noticeable. She is currently under veterinary care and receives magnesium as well as Sedarom (plant-based), with the hope of achieving some stabilization. Unfortunately, Aurora will not fully recover. Her current owners have saved her and brought her to safety but are unfortunately unable to keep her. This was clear from the beginning. Both are full-time employed and cannot do her justice. Despite this, Aurora is a very intelligent, independent-thinking female dog, bred to be watchful and territorial. She needs people who can provide her with clear leadership, structure, and consistent, but loving training. Aurora currently reacts to some environmental stimuli with insecurity. Visits to dog training classes and group training, as well as dog meet-ups, are intended to provide security in everyday life. She already knows other dogs from walks. We wish for her a quiet, experienced home without small children. Ideally, she would have a place as a single dog or with a confident, self-assured male dog. Aurora is a special female dog who, despite her heavy past, deserves a real chance. Whoever meets her with heart, patience, and understanding will receive a companion who brings a lot of potential and can succeed in an appropriate environment.

Aurora – sensible Schäfer-Mix-Hündin mit schwerer Vorgeschichte sucht Zuhause Die etwa 2-jährige Schäfer-Mix-Hündin Aurora lebt derzeit in Nürnberg und sucht ein neues Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Bereits als etwa vier Wochen alter Welpe erlitt sie durch massive Misshandlungen eine Hirnblutung. Die neurologischen Folgen sind laut einer unserer Tierärzte nicht behandelbar. Ein schwammiger Gang und Unsicherheiten sind zu beobachten. Sie wird derzeit tierärztlich begleitet und erhält Magnesium sowie Sedarom (pflanzlich), wodurch auf eine gewisse Stabilisierung gehofft wird. Vollständig gesund wird Aurora jedoch leider nicht mehr. Ihre jetzigen Besitzer haben sie gerettet und in Sicherheit gebracht, können sie aber leider nicht behalten. Das war schon von vorneherein klar. Beide sind Vollzeit berufstätig und können ihr nicht gerecht werden. Trotz allem ist Aurora eine sehr intelligente, selbstständig denkende Hündin, die rassetypisch wachsam und territorial veranlagt ist. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr klare Führung, Struktur und eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Erziehung geben können. Aurora reagiert aktuell auf einige Umweltreize noch unsicher. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule und Gruppentraining sowie Hundebegegnungen sollen Sicherheit im Alltag geben. Andere Hunde kennt sie bereits von Spaziergängen. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein ruhiges, erfahrenes Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder. Ideal wäre ein Platz als Einzelhund oder bei einem souveränen, selbstsicheren Rüden. Aurora ist eine besondere Hündin, die trotz ihrer schweren Vergangenheit eine echte Chance verdient hat. Wer ihr mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis begegnet, bekommt eine Begleiterin, die viel Potenzial mitbringt und in einem passenden Umfeld weiter ankommen darf.

About Aurora &#8211

What life with Aurora &#8211 looks like

Aurora &#8211 is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. 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 Aurora &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aurora &#8211?
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 Aurora &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aurora &#8211 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 Aurora &#8211 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 Aurora &#8211 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 Aurora &#8211 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.
