Dolly

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Dolly, a sweet little dog, has been at the shelter since August 2026. She is estimated to be born in May 2026 and will likely grow to be between 40-59 cm tall and weigh 10-35 kg. She is available for adoption on September 30th. Learn more about Dolly in videos and photos. Dolly was found alone on the street. A kind person noticed she couldn't use one of her hind legs, took her in, and asked for help. Dolly was quickly brought to safety and cared for. More information about how dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal welfare FAQ. Dolly has shown herself to be friendly and loving from the start. The little puppy is very attached to people, curious, and enjoys being petted. She is easy to handle and picks up little kisses. Like all puppies, she is curious about her surroundings and nibbles on gloves or overalls playfully. Her character will continue to develop in the coming weeks and months - only the beginnings can be seen at this point. If you would like more information about this furry friend, please contact our adoption team. Dolly has a broken hind leg and needs surgery. Our adoption team knows the best about her exact health condition. If you have any questions, please send us a message. Puppies should not have to grow up in a shelter. We are urgently looking for a loving home or an experienced foster home for this little furry friend - a place where she can discover the world, build trust, and simply be a puppy. Anyone who adopts a puppy should be aware of how demanding everyday life with a young dog can be: As soon as the house is clean, the "wild puberty" often starts - full of energy, uncertainty, and new challenges. The first years of life are an exciting journey that humans and dogs go through together - with ups and downs and many learning moments. We want people with patience, empathy, and perseverance for this furry friend - and with the understanding that animal shelter dogs often already have a certain history. How they react to their new life in Germany can never be fully predicted. But one thing is certain: Adopting instead of buying not only gives a second chance to an animal, but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by your side. Are you already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about adoption, first read through the . All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated, and neutered before they leave (except for puppies under 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs over 1 year old are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, please send our adoption team a message.

Im Tierheim seit: August 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Mai 2026 Geschätzte Endschulterhöhe: ca. 40 – 59 cm Geschätztes Endgewicht: 10 – 35 kg Lerne hier die süße Dolly in weiteren Videos und Fotos kennen! Kleine Kämpferin Dolly sucht ihre Menschen! Die kleine Dolly wurde allein auf der Straße gefunden. Ein tierlieber Mensch bemerkte, dass sie eines ihrer Hinterbeine nicht belastete, nahm die Hündin bei sich auf und bat uns um Hilfe. So konnte Dolly schnell in Sicherheit gebracht und versorgt werden. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ. Dolly zeigte sie sich von Anfang an freundlich und lieb. Die kleine Welpendame ist sehr menschenbezogen, neugierig und genießt Streicheleinheiten. Sie lässt sich problemlos anfassen und hochnehmen und verteilt gerne kleine Küsschen. Typisch Welpe erkundet sie neugierig ihre Umgebung und knabbert zwischendurch spielerisch an Handschuhen oder dem Overall. Ihr Charakter wird sich in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten immer weiter ausbilden – zu diesem Zeitpunkt sind nur die Anfänge zu erkennen. Wenn du mehr Informationen zu dieser Fellnase haben möchtest, schreib gern unserem Vermittlungsteam . Über den genauen Gesundheitszustand weiß unser Vermittlungsteam am besten Bescheid. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreib uns gern eine Nachricht . Welpen sollten nicht im Tierheim aufwachsen müssen. Deshalb suchen wir dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine erfahrene Pflegestelle für diese kleine Fellnase – einen Ort, an dem sie die Welt entdecken, Vertrauen aufbauen und einfach Hundekind sein darf. Wer einen Welpen adoptiert, sollte sich bewusst machen, wie fordernd der Alltag mit einem jungen Hund sein kann: Kaum ist die Stubenreinheit geschafft, steht oft schon die „wilde Pubertät“ an – voller Energie, Unsicherheiten und neuer Herausforderungen. Die ersten Lebensjahre sind eine aufregende Reise, die Mensch und Hund gemeinsam gehen – mit Höhen, Tiefen und jeder Menge Lernmomente. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen mit Geduld, Empathie und Durchhaltevermögen – und mit dem Verständnis dafür, dass Tierschutzhunde oft bereits eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wie genau sie auf das neue Leben in Deutschland reagieren, lässt sich nie vollständig vorhersagen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Hunderettung Europa e.V. 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 — Hunderettung Europa 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. 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 Hunderettung Europa e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
