Cecile

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

Ich bin Cecile … eine recht unsichere Hündin auf der Suche nach Liebe und Sicherheit in einem erfahrenen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich bin anfangs ein kleiner Hasenfuß, eher unsicher und ängstlich – vor allem bei fremden Menschen und neuen Umgebungen. Wenn ich aber Vertrauen gefasst habe, bin ich lieb und kuschle gern. Ich bin eine kluge, aufgeschlossene Hündin und sehr aufmerksam. Um Vertrauen zu fassen und mich an Neues zu gewöhnen, brauche ich meist etwas mehr Zeit als andere Hunde. Wenn ich unsicher bin, belle ich auch recht gern. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich aber gut zurecht. Ob ich auch mal allein bleiben kann, ist noch nicht bekannt und müsste gegebenenfalls sehr geduldig geübt werden. Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, das mir Sicherheit und Rückhalt gibt. Auch als Zweithund zu einem schon vorhandenen souveränen Hund wäre ich geeignet. Mein Zuhause sollte eher ruhiger liegen, zum Beispiel am Stadtrand oder ländlich. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Hast du ein tolles Plätzchen für mich? Melde dich bei Interesse über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Lassie-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags). Zum Kennenlernen werden mehrere Besuche nötig sein.

About Cecile

What life with Cecile looks like

Cecile is a medium-sized young adult border collie dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

An young 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 Cecile, answered.

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