Emil

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Young · 1 year

Emil stammt ursprünglich aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Haushalt, in dem er mit ca. 20 weiteren Yorkies auf engstem Raum und unter schlimmen hygienischen Bedingungen leben musste. Die Hunde wurden nicht ausgeführt und kannten außer einer stinkenden Wohnung und den anderen Hunden nichts. Er wurde vermittelt, aber seine neue Besitzerin war mit dem kleinen Energiebündel leider ziemlich überfordert. Emil kläfft viel, ist sehr agil und hat eine große Klappe. Er ist sehr lieb, aber eben kein tiefenentspannter Hund. Man muss wirklich noch Zeit in seine Erziehung investieren und geduldig sein. Emil braucht viel Auslastung, aber auch jemanden, der ihm beibringt, dass in der Ruhe die Kraft liegt. Er ist ein toller Hund und wir sind sehr traurig, dass er in seinem jungen Leben schon so viel erleben musste und immer noch nicht „seine” Menschen gefunden hat. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Emil interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Emil

What life with Emil looks like

Emil is a small young adult yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

An young 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 Emil, answered.

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