Becky

German Shepherd · Female

Becky came to us from a court-ordered seizure. She showed a strong protective drive and loss anxiety towards her trusted people in her old home. At our shelter, Becky is wary but approachable. She already knows the basic obedience commands, but her leash manners still need some work: currently, she has a lot of energy to burn during walks. It seems like she wants to make up for everything she missed in her previous life. Unfortunately, she suffered from a lack of movement, which is why she has a few extra pounds. We are gently addressing her weight issue at the animal shelter through adjusted exercise. Becky loves to go for baths and walks well in a mixed group of dogs. For the people-oriented female dog, we are looking for individuals who want to continue fostering her good sides and help her explore the world.

DE·Show original

Becky kam aus einer behördlichen Sicherstellung zu uns. Sie zeigte im alten Zuhause wohl starken Schutztrieb und Verlustangst hinsichtlich ihrer Bezugspersonen. Bei uns zeigt sich Becky wachsam, aber umgänglich. Sie beherrscht schon das Hunde 1x1, an der Leinenführigkeit kann bei ihr noch gearbeitet werden: aktuell ist sie beim Spaziergang noch voller Tatendrang. Es scheint, als würde sie jetzt gerne alles nachholen, was sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben verpasst hat. Leider litt sie unter Bewegungsmangel, weshalb sie jetzt ein paar Pfund zu viel auf den Rippen hat. Ihr Übergewicht reduzieren wir schonend im Tierheim durch angepasste Bewegung. Becky liebt es, baden zu gehen und geht problemlos in einer gemischten Hundegruppe spazieren. Für die menschenbezogene Hündin wünschen wir uns Leute, die weiterhin nur ihre guten Seiten fördern und mit ihr die Welt entdecken möchten.

About Becky

What life with Becky looks like

Becky is a german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Schlage in Germany.

A 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 Becky, answered.

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