Adopt Betty

Female

was abandoned in a lonely area. She roamed the village at night like a ghost. Betty was very, very thin, just skin and bones … she was starving! Margarita tried to feed her, but Betty was very afraid of people and the other dogs on the street. After six months, she slowly began to trust and during a spay/neuter campaign, we were able to catch her. And then something incredible happened: she was so happy when she felt safe and sensed love! Suddenly, Betty became completely open and friendly. 😍Betty deserves a wonderful life … she deserves to live in a warm home surrounded by a family.

wurde in einer einsamen Gegend ausgesetzt. Sie irrte nachts wie ein Geist durch das Dorf. Betty war sehr, sehr dünn, nur noch Haut und Knochen … sie hungerte! Margarita versuchte sie zu füttern, aber Betty hatte große Angst vor Menschen und den anderen Hunden auf der Straße.Nach sechs Monaten fasste sie langsam Vertrauen und im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion konnten wir sie einfangen. Und dann passierte das Unglaubliche: Sie war so glücklich, als sie sich sicher fühlte und Liebe spürte! Da zeigte Betty sich plötzlich total aufgeschlossen und freundlich. 😍Betty verdient ein wundervolles Leben … sie verdient es, in einem warmen Zuhause mitten in einer Familie zu leben.

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a large adult dog waiting at tierFAIRbunden n.e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Betty, answered.

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