How do I contact the shelter about Dora?

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

Can I adopt Dora if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier 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 Dora 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 Dora 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 ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dora 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 Dora

Yorkshire Terrier · Female · Senior · 11 years

A few weeks ago, this small female dog was found wandering the city alone. She was not microchipped, yet various efforts were made to find her potential owner. However, without success. It is likely that her owner has passed away, and the heirs have put her on the street. Such behavior is hard for us to understand, but it unfortunately happens very frequently. At our partners in Stintino, Dora was then brought to safety, where she now lives with several other dogs. Dora, as she is named, is well cared for. But with the multitude of dogs that need to be cared for, there is little time for individual affection. And since Dora is already a senior, we wish for her to spend some more beautiful years with loving people who will love and pamper her and include her in all family activities. Would you like to give Dora her dream home? April 22, 2026: Dora was allowed to travel to her German foster home. If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption means not only joy but also work and great responsibility, then we look forward to your message. We facilitate adoptions nationwide.

Vor einigen Wochen war diese kleine Hündin aufgegriffen worden, als sie mutterseelenallein durch die Stadt lief. Sie war nicht gechippt, dennoch wurde auf verschiedenen Wegen versucht, einen eventuellen Besitzer ausfindig zu machen. Jedoch ohne Erfolg. Vermutlich hat ist der Besitzer der Kleinen verstorben, und die Erben haben sie auf die Straße gesetzt. Wir können solch ein Verhalten nicht nachvollziehen, aber es passiert leider sehr häufig.Bei unseren Partnern in Stintino konnte die Kleine dann in Sicherheit gebracht werden, wo sie nun mit etlichen anderen Hunden zusammenlebt.Da Dora, wie sie genannt wurde, wird gut versorgt. Aber bei der Vielzahl der Hunde, die betreut werden müssen, bleibt wenig Zeit für individuelle Zuwendung. Und da Dora schon eine Seniorin ist, wünschen wir uns für sie, dass sie noch einige schöne Jahre bei lieben Menschen verbringen darf, die sie lieben und verwöhnen und sie an allen familiären Aktivitäten teilhaben lassen.Möchte Sie der kleinen Dora das Traumzuhause schenken?22.

About Dora

What life with Dora looks like

Dora is a large senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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.
