How do I contact the shelter about Emmy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Emmy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Emmy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Emmy 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 Emmy 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Emmy 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 Emmy

English Bulldog · Female · Young · 1 year

- friendly towards the primary caregiver - gets along with fellow animals due to sympathy - official rule for muzzle and leash: Emmy is a very adaptable female dog and a true character: Her repertoire ranges from a cuddly companion who walks perfectly on a leash to a conflict-free lady who stands her ground and is not easily intimidated, and who enjoys getting into the dynamic. Emmy is more of a "all in or out" kind - there's no in-between for her. Therefore, Emmy needs people who are confident in handling dogs and can recognize situations before they arise, so she doesn't feel the need to handle every situation on her own. Emmy also enjoys playing, but whether she accepts another dog depends on the other dog's sympathy. Additionally, Emmy loves to eat - some might say she's a bit of a glutton :-) Overall, she still has a lot to learn. In the future, consistent long-term behavior will be particularly important to establish rules and boundaries. In Hamburg, a leash and muzzle requirement applies to Emmy.

Aufgrund von mehreren Beißvorfällen ist Emmy zu uns gekommen und wir dürfen nun nach einem neuen Zuhause für sie suchen. Emmy ist eine sehr wandelbare Hündin und ein echter Charakterkopf. Von einer kuscheligen Begleiterin, die perfekt an der Leine läuft, bis hin zu einer konfliktfreudigen Dame, die sich durch nichts einschüchtern lässt und sich gerne in diese Dynamik hineinsteigert. Emmy ist eher der Typ "ganz oder gar nicht". Ein Dazwischen gibt es bei ihr nicht. Deshalb braucht Emmy jemanden, der souverän im Umgang mit Hunden ist und Situationen erkennt, bevor sie entstehen, damit sie nicht mehr das Gefühl hat, jede Situation alleine regeln zu müssen. Emmy spielt auch gerne, wobei hier die Sympathie entscheidet, ob sie den anderen Hund akzeptiert. Außerdem frisst sie für ihr Leben gern – böse Zungen würden behaupten, dass sie verfressen ist. Generell hat sie noch einiges zu lernen. Hier wird künftig vor allem langfristig konsequentes Handeln wichtig sein, damit sich Regeln und Grenzen festigen können. In Hamburg gilt für Emmy eine Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht. Wenn Sie unserer Emmy ein fürsorgliches Zuhause schenken möchten, schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an: (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 29.05.2026 (dlb)

About Emmy

What life with Emmy looks like

Emmy is a large young adult english bulldog dog waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
