Dolly

Bichon Frisé · Female · Adult · 8 years

freundlich, menschenbezogen, lieb Über Dolly Die kleine Dolly wurde in sehr schlechtem gesundheitlichen Zustand zu uns gebracht. Sie hatte u.a. eine heftige Gebärmuttervereiterung und in letzter Sekunde ist es gelungen, die süße Maus zu retten. Nun ist die kleine und fröhliche Hündin auf einem sehr guten Weg und sucht ein neues Zuhause. Dolly ist durchaus wachsam, daher wäre es schön, wenn sie zu Hundefreunden ziehen könnten, die ein Haus mit Garten haben. Große Spaziergänge sind eher nicht Dollys Hobby, sie liebt es sehr bei ihren Menschen zu sein. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie verträglich, hätte aber gar nichts dagegen, die Aufmerksamheiten nicht teilen zu müssen.

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a small adult bichon frisé dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Dolly, answered.

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