How do I contact the shelter about Emmchen?

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

Can I adopt Emmchen 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 Emmchen 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 Emmchen 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 Emmchen 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.

Emmchen

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Born in March 2023, Gender: female, neutered: yes, Character: reserved, skeptical, friendly to trusted people, Size: approx. 47 cm, In shelter since: May 2023 Oh man, I'm so glad you're here. Finally, something to break up the monotony of everyday life here at the shelter. I wish for more stimulation and variety. I'm a friendly and cute little girl dog, especially noticeable with my big, fluffy ears. My name is Emmchen. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing okay here. I have safe food and a bed, and there are also nice other dogs here, but nothing compares to the thought of my own family. I dream about it all the time. I imagine us going for walks together, trying to jump into puddles or through tall grass, and how you'd all amuse yourselves and then pet me lovingly when I come to you. Imagining us learning the dog ABC together, getting to know each other better, and understanding each other. And then at night, after a long day, lying together, snuggling, and having a good time. Can you imagine that? Then write to me. Best regards, Emmchen! If you're interested in Emmchen, please fill out our interest form () or send us an email or a message on Facebook. Emmchen is ready to travel and can travel 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. The sponsorship for Emmchen has been taken over by Mirjam and Holger A., and they ensure a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: März 2023 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Charakter: zurückhaltend, skeptisch, freundlich zu Bezugspersonen Größe: ca. 47 cm Im Shelter seit: Mai 2023 Oh man bin froh das ihr vorbeischaut. Endlich ist was los. Der Alltag hier im Shelter ist ziemlich eintönig und ich wünsche mir so sehr mehr Abwechslung und Beschäftigung im Leben. Ich bin ein freundliches und hübsches Hundemädchen, das besonders durch ihre hübschen großen Flausch-Ohren auffällt. Emmchen heiße ich. Versteht mich nicht falsch, es geht mir gut hier. Futter und Schlafplatz sind mir sicher und man findet hier auch nette andere Hunde, aber das alles ist nicht so toll wie der Gedanke an eine eigene Familie. Davon träume ich ständig. Ich stelle mir vor, wie wir zusammen spazieren gehen und ich versuche in Pfützen zu springen oder durch das hoch gewachsene Gras springe und wie ihr euch dabei amüsiert und mich dann ganz lieb streichelt wenn ich zu euch komme. Wie wir zusammen das Hunde ABC lernen und uns dadurch immer besser kennen lernen und verstehen. Und dann Abends, nach einem langen Tag, liegen wir zusammen, kuscheln und lassen es uns gut gehen. Könnt ihr euch das auch vorstellen? Dann schreibt mir doch mal. Viele Grüße Emmchen! Wenn Sie Interesse an Emmchen haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus ()oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Emmchen ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Emmchen haben Mirjam und Holger A. übernommen und sorgen somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Emmchen

What life with Emmchen looks like

Emmchen 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.
