How do I contact the shelter about Dobby O?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dobby O on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dobby O if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Dobby O 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 Dobby O 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dobby O 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.

I’ve heard many people really like brown dogs. So I’d better introduce myself quickly—maybe it’s true, and I’ll find a home soon? My name is Dobby. I’ve already spent far too much time here at the shelter and had to grow up here. But that hasn’t dampened my spirits so far. I’ve stayed a friendly guy and haven’t lost hope that you’ll discover me after all. The time for playing with my sister and cuddling with Mom should finally come to an end. And that’s where you come in. Would you like to take their place? We could play together, and then snuggle up afterward. There’s still so much on my bucket list I’d love to experience—a family by my side would be perfect. Please send us a message if you have room for me and would like to walk through life together. I’m already looking forward to meeting you! If you’re interested in Dobby, please fill out our application form or send us an email or a message via Facebook. Dobby is ready to travel and can join the next transport to Germany. Our dogs travel legally via TRACES. TRACES is the database system used to monitor all animal movement within the EU. The dogs travel vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and they carry an EU pet passport. Additionally, for dogs aged 12 months and older, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is performed prior to travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and Leishmaniasis. Thank you, on behalf of the dogs!

About Dobby O

What life with Dobby O looks like

Dobby O is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
