Emma

Golden Retriever · Female · Young · 3 years

Wenn Emma gesund wäre, würde man sie uns vermutlich aus den Händen reißen. Retriever sind nach wie vor sehr beliebt und äußerst selten im Tierheim anzutreffen. Wir hoffen aber sehr, dass wir ganz schnell nette Menschen finden werden, die sie trotz ihrer Erkrankung in ihre Mitte nehmen. Emma hat Epilepsie. Sie ist gut mit Medikamenten eingestellt und dadurch auch „anfallfrei”, aber sie muss ihre Medikamente regelmäßig zu bestimmten Uhrzeiten bekommen. Emma ist eine unglaublich liebe und freundliche Hündin, sehr menschenbezogen und, wie es für Retriever typisch ist, sehr verfressen. Sie kennt Katzen, fährt problemlos im Auto mit und kann stundenweise alleine bleiben. Sie hat einen kleinen Jagdtrieb und war deshalb immer an der Leine.Für Emma suchen wir nette Menschen, gerne auch eine Familie, die sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind, dass sie ihre Medikamente sehr pünktlich bekommen muss. Bitte informieren Sie sich vorab über die Erkrankung Epilepsie bei Hunden. Wir wünschen uns sehr, dass sie trotz ihres Handicaps ein tolles Zuhause findet – sie ist so ein lieber und unkomplizierter Hund!Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Emma interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a young adult golden retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 Emma, answered.

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