How do I contact the shelter about BaileyRasse?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BaileyRasse on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BaileyRasse if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde 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 BaileyRasse 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 BaileyRasse 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 Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know BaileyRasse 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.

BaileyRasse

Female

Name: Bailey. Breed: Herdenschutzhund-Mix. Gender: Female. Date of Birth: 03/2024. Color: Brown and White. Country of Birth: Greece. Size: Large (ca. 58cm) Bailey is an impressive, character-strong female dog with the typical traits of a Herdenschutzhund-Mix. She is attentive, sensitive, and takes her surroundings very seriously. In her familiar environment, she shows herself to be reliable and willingly takes on the role of protector. At the same time, Bailey has a very cuddly side: she enjoys the closeness of her trusted people and builds a close bond with “her” humans. Once she has gained trust, she shows herself loyal, clingy, and full of affection. Bailey needs clear structures, calmness, and people who appreciate her special way and accompany her through life confidently. Bailey is currently still sensitive to new situations and reacts to unfamiliar stimuli with uncertainty. Foreign people in her immediate vicinity currently unsettle her, which is why she still needs support and guidance here. In the past, there were situations in which she reacted clearly in such moments. However, with the right guidance, a calm environment, and clear leadership, she can learn to handle new situations more calmly. A household with much chaos or frequently changing visitors would currently overwhelm her. This decision is not easy. Bailey should not simply be passed on but find a home that really suits her. She is no “ordinary” dog – but for the right people, an incredibly loyal, special companion with a big heart.

Name: Bailey. Rasse: Herdenschutzhund-Mix. Geschlecht: HündinGeburtsdatum: 03/2024. Farbe: Braun und WeißGeburtsland: GriechenlandGröße: Groß (ca. 58cm) Bailey ist eine beeindruckende, charakterstarke Hündin mit den typischen Eigenschaften eines Herdenschutzhund-Mixes. Sie ist aufmerksam, sensibel und nimmt ihre Umgebung sehr genau wahr. In ihrem gewohnten Umfeld zeigt sie sich zuverlässig und übernimmt gerne die Rolle der Beschützerin. Gleichzeitig hat Bailey eine ganz weiche Seite: Sie ist sehr verschmust, genießt die Nähe zu ihren Bezugspersonen und baut eine enge Bindung zu „ihren“ Menschen auf. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie sich loyal, anhänglich und voller Zuneigung. Bailey braucht klare Strukturen, Ruhe und Menschen, die ihre besondere Art zu schätzen wissen und sie souverän durchs Leben begleiten. Bailey ist aktuell noch sensibel gegenüber neuen Situationen und reagiert auf ungewohnte Reize mit Unsicherheit. Fremde Menschen im direkten Wohnumfeld verunsichern sie derzeit, weshalb sie hier noch Unterstützung und Führung benötigt. In der Vergangenheit gab es Situationen, in denen sie in solchen Momenten deutlich reagiert hat. Mit der richtigen Anleitung, einem ruhigen Umfeld und klarer Führung kann sie jedoch lernen, entspannter mit neuen Situationen umzugehen.

About BaileyRasse

What life with BaileyRasse looks like

BaileyRasse is a large adult dog waiting at Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde e.V. in Heppenheim.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
