Betty und Merle

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello dear ones, we also wanted to introduce ourselves today. We are Merle and Betty. We were rescued on November 18, 2025, from the Dog Hell in Popperode, together we were about 130 poor dog souls. 😢 We are infinitely grateful to all the wonderful people who were involved in our rescue operation. Here at the animal shelter Quedlinburg, we are nine in total, six of us have already found a home, male dog Eddy is reserved. But we two are not quite ready yet; our mistrust and fear run deep...we need time to build trust. 💪 We make small progress every day, and we trust a little more each day. Our caretakers also make great efforts and are very patient with us. You've seen...how we had to live before...these images will stay with them forever in their memory. 🥺 But now we can look forward, everything can only get better for us now. We hope very much for our fellow animals that they too will find loving families where they can only experience love and care.

Hallo ihr Lieben, wir möchten uns heute auch mal vorstellen, wir sind Merle und Betty. Wir wurden am 18.11.25 aus der Hundehölle in Popperode gerettet, zusammen waren wir ca. 130 arme Hundeseelen. 😢 Wir sind all den tollen Menschen, die an unserer Rettungsaktion beteiligt waren, unendlich dankbar. Wir, hier im Tierheim Quedlinburg, waren zu Neunt, 6 von uns haben schon ein Zuhause gefunden, Rüde Eddy ist reserviert. Wir 2 sind aber noch nicht soweit, zu tief sitzt unser Mißtrauen und unsere Angst...wir brauchen noch Zeit, um Vertrauen fassen zu können. 💪 Wir machen jeden Tag kleine Fortschritte, trauen uns jeden Tag ein bißchen mehr zu. Unsere Pfleger geben sich auch viel Mühe und sind sehr geduldig mit uns. Sie haben ja gesehen...wie wir bisher leben mussten...diese Bilder bleiben ihnen auf ewig im Gedächtnis. 🥺 Aber wir dürfen nun nach vorne schauen, alles kann für uns jetzt nur noch besser werden. Wir hoffen sehr für unsere anderen Artgenossen, dass auch sie alle liebevolle Familien finden, wo sie nur noch Liebe und Fürsorge erfahren dürfen. 😘🐶🐶🐶💖

About Betty und Merle

What life with Betty und Merle looks like

Betty und Merle is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Quedlinburg 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. 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 und Merle, answered.

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