Dorie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Dorie Dorie is looking for athletic two-legged companions. The Alaskan Husky female Dorie was very reluctantly given up to us. She was born on April 17, 2022, and has been living with her family ever since. Dorie has always lived in a dog pack and has never been without canine companions. She loves being around other dogs. Once she’s gained trust, this lovely lady becomes deeply attached to her people and will stick by their side through thick and thin. Dorie gets along well with her fellow dogs; however, she tends to be dominant toward female dogs within her own territory. A home with a confident male dog would be perfect for her. In unfamiliar situations and new environments, Dorie can sometimes feel uncertain and needs a steady hand from her humans. Dorie can be left alone for several hours at a time (with a second dog) and is well-balanced at home when she’s sufficiently exercised. Dorie is familiar with harness training and walks both by bike and "on the lead." However, she feels even more secure when accompanied by other dogs. Dorie is a loving and cuddly dog who will enrich her people’s lives. We’re looking for a family for Dorie who enjoys going for walks with her and is just as sporty and connected to nature as she is. Long, leisurely walks and hikes are exactly what this energetic girl is looking forward to. A house with a fenced garden in a rural area would be ideal. We thank Romina Schoberth-Filchner and Mandy Voit for taking on her sponsorship.

Dorie Dorie ist auf der Suche nach sportlichen Zweibeinern. Die Alaskan Husky Hündin Dorie wurde sehr schweren Herzens bei uns abgegeben. Sie erblickte am 17.04.2022 das Licht der Welt und lebte seit dem bei ihrer Familie. Dorie lebte bisher in einer Hundegruppe und war nie ohne Artgenossen. Sie mag es in Hundegesellschaft zu sein. Wenn sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, bindet sich die hübsche Hündin stark an ihre Menschen und geht mit diesen durch dick und dünn. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich die soziale Dorie gut, jedoch ist sie Hündinnen gegenüber im eigenem Revier dominant. Ein Zuhause bei einem souveränen Rüden wäre perfekt für sie. Dorie ist in unbekannten Situationen und fremder Umgebung teilweise unsicher und braucht einen festen Halt seitens ihrer Menschen. Dorie kann stundenweise allein bleiben (mit Zweithund) und ist ausgeglichen Zuhause wenn sie ausgelastet ist. Dorie kennt das Zuggeschirr und läuft sowohl am Rad, als auch "am Mann". Allerdings ist sie auch hier etwas sicherer in Hundegesellschaft. Dorie ist eine liebevolle und verschmuste Hündin, die das Leben ihrer Menschen bereichern wird. Wir suchen für Dorie eine Familie, die Freude daran hat mit ihr zu laufen und genauso sportlich und naturverbunden ist wie sie. Lange und ausgiebige Spaziergänge und Wanderungen sind genau das Richtige für die flotte Nudel. Ein Haus mit eingezäuntem Garten in ländlicher Gegend wären optimal. Wir danken Romina Schoberth-Filchner und Mandy Voit für die übernommene Patenschaft.

About Dorie

What life with Dorie looks like

Dorie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Selb und Umgebung in Selb.

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. 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 Dorie, answered.

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