Bijou

Mixed Breed · Female

Bijou was able to move to a foster home in Garbsen. We will report on how she is developing there. She is welcome to be visited at the foster home. Bijou and her sister Buffy were found off the street among trash. They were very lucky that someone heard their "whining" and looked for them. Now they are in our partner animal shelter, Lida, and hope they will not spend their youth behind bars. They live together with our puppy boy Nicolino. Everything is going very harmoniously, they play together, eat together, and cuddle together at night on the wooden pallet. Bijou is a pretty little girl with floppy ears and black round eyes. Unfortunately, she has put on some extra weight - out of boredom, monotony, and longing for freedom. She is very open to people. When we visited her, she couldn't get enough of being stroked and cuddled. We are looking for a foster home or home for the little mouse. They should introduce her to the new life with love and patience. A social first dog can live in the home. Children should be 10 years or older. Bijou is probably a Labrador-Segugio mix. We estimate she will be about 50 cm tall. If you would like to learn more about Bijou, please feel free to contact us.

Update: Bijou durfte auf eine Pflegestelle nach Garbsen ziehen. Wir werden berichten, wie sie sich dort entwickelt. Gerne kann sie auf der Pflegestelle besucht werden. Bijou und ihre Schwester Buffy wurden abseits der Strasse zwischen Müll gefunden. Sie hatten sehr viel Glück, dass jemand ihr „Quieken“ hörte und nach ihnen suchte. Jetzt sind sie in unserem Kooperationstierheim, der Lida, und hoffen, dass sie ihre Jugend nicht hinter Gitterstäben verbringen müssen. Sie leben zusammen mit unserem Welpenjungen Nicolino. Alles läuft sehr harmonisch ab, man spielt zusammen, man isst zusammen und man kuschelt zusammen nachts auf der Holzpritsche. Bijou ist ein hübsches Hundemädchen mit Schlappohren und schwarzen Kulleraugen. Leider hat sie etwas Kummerspeck angesetzt – aus Langeweile, aus Monotonie, aus Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. Sie ist Menschen gegenüber sehr aufgeschlossen. Als wir sie besuchten, konnte sie nicht genug gestreichelt und gekuschelt werden. Wir suchen für die kleine Maus eine Pflegestelle oder Zuhause. Sie sollten mit Liebe und Geduld sie an das neue Leben heranführen. Ein sozialer Ersthund kann gerne im Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre oder älter sein. Bijou ist wahrscheinlich Labrador-Segugio Mischling. Wir schätzen, dass sie ca. 50 cm groß wird. Wenn Sie mehr über die Bijou erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Bijou war bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und kam mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland.

About Bijou

What life with Bijou looks like

Bijou is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bijou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bijou?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bijou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bijou if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bijou 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 Bijou 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bijou 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.
