How do I contact the shelter about Emil R?

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 Emil R on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Emil R 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 Emil R 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 Emil R 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 Emil R 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

ProfileAge: Born in 2019. Gender: male. neutered: yesCharacter: friendly, very respectful to peopleSize: approx. 47 cm In shelter since: August 2024Family: Sister MiaNo one knows how Emil's life looked before he and his sister came to the shelter. However, we do know that both were emaciated upon arrival and must not have led a particularly luxurious lifestyle.Good news is, Emil now lives in the shelter where there is enough food for all thanks to loving sponsors. With a full belly, he is much more eager to wait for a home!Emil appreciates his new situation very much and is extremely friendly and open to everyone in the shelter. He seems to know that his final happiness is just a ride in the white transport van away.Due to the journey to Germany, it will be strenuous for him, and the first time in the new home will surely be very exciting, but once Emil settles in and learns to love life with people, nothing stands in the way of a long, carefree coexistence! If you are interested in Emil, please fill out our application form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Emil is ready to travel and can go to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. Birgit R. has taken on the sponsorship of Emil and ensures he has a full bowl.

Er scheint zu wissen, dass sein endgültiges Glück nur noch eine Fahrt im weißen Transporter entfernt ist.Die Reise nach Deutschland wird anstrengend für ihn sein und die erste Zeit im neuen Heim wird sicher sehr aufregend, aber wenn Emil sich erstmal eingefunden hat und liebevoll das Leben bei Menschen kennen lernen darf, steht einem langen, unbeschwerten Zusammenleben nichts mehr im Weg!

About Emil R

What life with Emil R looks like

Emil R 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.
