Emma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Emma lost her home because her mistress suddenly passed away. We took the little distressed scent hound into our care. Emma gets along very well with all the dogs and cats, she is quiet, open-minded, and loves to snuggle. The little mixed-breed female dog walks well on a leash, she accompanies us on dog walks and loves the company of people. Of course, Emma wishes for her own home. We would be delighted if loving people could find a quiet home for our little sensitive scent hound, without too much commotion. A place where Emma can live as a single princess. The little female dog suffers from calcifications at the notice board, which can be painful and lead to limitations in the movement apparatus. Therefore, Emma does not need long excursions or walks, a home without stairs would be ideal.

Emma verlor ihr Zuhause, weil ihr Frauchen ganz plötzlich verstarb. Wir nahmen die in Not geratene kleine Spürnase bei uns auf. Emma ist mit allen Hunden und Katzen sehr gut verträglich, sie ist ruhig, aufgeschlossen und schmust für ihr Leben gerne. Die kleine Mischlingshündin geht gut an der Leine, sie begleitet uns zu den Hundewanderungen und liebt die Nähe der Menschen. Emma wünscht sich natürlich ein eigenes Zuhause. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn sich liebe Menschen finden, die unserer kleinen sensiblen Spürnase ein ruhiges Zuhause, ohne viel Trubel geben können. Einen richtigen Kuschelplatz, in dem Emma als Einzelprizessin leben kann. Die kleine Hundedame leidet unter Verkalkungen an der Werbesäule, die schmerzhaft und teilweise zu Einschränkungen des Bewegungsapparates führen können. Deshalb benötigt Emma keine riesigen Ausflüge oder Spaziergänge, ein Zuhause ohne Treppen wäre ideal. Letschow, im März 2015

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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.

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. Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. 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 — Kleiner Gnadenhof 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 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 Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. 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.
