How do I contact the shelter about Emma?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herzsprung 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 Herzsprung 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 Herzsprung 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.

Adopt Emma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Emma is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and has been medically examined. I am the lively, approximately 2013-born mixed-breed female Emma and stand about 34 cm at the shoulder. I am currently on the lookout for a loving family that would like to experience everything with me and spend many beautiful years together. I believe I bring the best prerequisites for a great companion because I have an extremely open, cheerful, and people-oriented personality. Anyone who crosses my path will be greeted with joy and invited to snuggle. I also get along well with my fellow animals and can therefore live as a second dog in my new home without any problems. However, I do not let my dog buddies steal the butter from my bread either ;). I am passionately cuddled by my people and enjoy our shared relaxed snuggle hours very much. However, I also love to be in my lively phase and explore nature with my owners. On walks, I can still take a pretty brisk step despite my age and am a curious and lively companion for outings. Affectionate and responsible children can also live lovingly in my future home. In my previous home, I have already learned a few things, but there are still some things I should learn for my future life. But with your support, learning is no problem at all, and we will have a lot of fun doing it. I hope very much that I will be discovered by loving bipeds who would like to give me a caring and protected home, because in return, I will give them a lot of joy.

Emma ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU-Pass. Ich bin die lebensfrohe ca. 2013 geborene Mischlingsdame Emma und habe eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 34 cm. Ich bin derzeit auf der Suche nach einer liebevollen Familie, die mit mir alle möglichen Dinge erleben und viele schöne Jahre verbringen möchte. Ich denke, dass ich die besten Voraussetzungen für einen tollen Begleiter mitbringe, denn ich habe einen äußerst aufgeschlossenen, fröhlichen und menschenbezogenen Charakter. Jeder Mensch, der meinen Weg kreuzt, wird gleich freudig begrüßt und zum kuscheln aufgefordert. Mit meinen Artgenossen verstehe ich mich ebenfalls gut und kann daher auch ohne Probleme als Zweithund in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Jedoch lasse ich mir von meinen Hundekumpels auch nicht die Butter vom Brot klauen ;). Von meinen Menschen werde ich leidenschaftlich gerne gekuschelt und genieße unsere gemeinsamen entspannten Schmuse Stunden sehr. Jedoch liebe ich es ebenfalls in meiner aufgeweckten Phase, ausgelassen mit meinen Besitzern die Natur zu erkunden. Bei Spaziergängen kann ich trotz meines Alters noch einen recht flotten Schritt an den Tag legen und bin eine neugierige und aufgeweckte Begleiterin bei Unternehmungen. Gerne können in meinem künftigen Zuhause auch liebevolle und verantwortungsbewusste Kinder leben. In meinem ehemaligen Zuhause habe ich bereits schon einige Dinge gelernt, dennoch gibt es auch noch einige Dinge, die ich für mein künftiges Leben lernen sollte. Aber mit eurer Unterstützung ist das Lernen gar kein Problem und wir werden dabei viel Freude haben. Ich hoffe sehr, dass mich liebevolle Zweibeiner entdecken und mir ein fürsorgliches und behütetes Zuhause schenken möchten, denn ich werde ihnen im Gegenzug viel Freude schenken.

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

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.
