How do I contact the shelter about Bijou?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Bijou

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Help Bijou find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ BIJOU ⭐ Soft, white, and irresistibly adorable BIJOU is not one to draw attention to herself. She stands there — snow-white, fluffy, with her curly fur tousled by the wind — and meets you with that quiet, reserved gaze. Patient. Hopeful. BIJOU is very insecure and shows it in her own way: she immediately rolls onto her back — a deep submission gesture that shows how much she desires security. This may seem overwhelming at first glance. But behind it lies a female dog who only needs one thing: the feeling that she can't do anything wrong. What we know about BIJOU: Born in March 2019, neutered, 43 cm tall and 13 kg — BIJOU is a small, delicate female dog with a gentle nature. She gets along well with other dogs. On the leash, she walks calmly and can be handled well — those who bring patience will quickly notice how accessible she really is. What BIJOU needs: A very quiet home with experienced people who know how to gradually build trust with an insecure dog. No chaos, no hustle — instead, more consistency and gentleness. BIJOU blossoms when she feels safe. And then she is a little miracle. Origin:

Hilf Bijou, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️ BIJOU ⭐ Leise, weiß, und zum Verlieben BIJOU ist keine, die auf sich aufmerksam macht. Sie steht da — schneeweiß, flauschig, das lockige Fell vom Wind zerzaust — und schaut einen mit diesem stillen, zurückhaltenden Blick an. Abwartend. Hoffend. BIJOU ist sehr unsicher und zeigt das auf ihre Art: Sie wirft sich sofort auf den Rücken — eine tiefe Unterwerfungsgeste, die zeigt, wie sehr sie sich Sicherheit wünscht. Das mag auf den ersten Blick überwältigend wirken. Aber dahinter steckt eine Hündin, die nur eines braucht: das Gefühl, dass sie nichts falsch machen kann. Was wir über BIJOU wissen: Geboren im März 2019, kastriert, 43 cm groß und 13 kg — BIJOU ist eine kleine, feine Hündin mit sanftem Wesen. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie gut zurecht. An der Leine läuft sie brav und lässt sich gut anfassen — wer Geduld mitbringt, wird schnell merken, wie zugänglich sie wirklich ist. Was BIJOU braucht: Ein sehr ruhiges Zuhause mit erfahrenen Menschen, die wissen, wie man einem unsicheren Hund Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen schenkt. Kein Trubel, keine Hektik — dafür umso mehr Beständigkeit und Sanftheit. BIJOU blüht auf, wenn sie sich sicher fühlt. Und dann ist sie ein kleines Wunder. Herkunft: Rumänien / Pension

About Bijou

What life with Bijou looks like

Bijou is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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.
