EMY

German Shepherd · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

Emy hat ihre Familie wegen einer schweren Erkrankung des Besitzers verloren. Sie ist ein lieber und anhänglicher Hund, der alle Menschen liebt, besonders Kinder. Auch Hunde findet sie toll. Sie ist stubenrein, geht sehr gern Gassi, ist neugierig und aufgeschlossen und ein richtiger Schatz. Kastriert ist sie nicht und ist dafür nun auch zu alt. Für Emy suchen wir einen liebevollen Platz. Sie ist ja schon sehr alt und hat es verdient, die letzte Zeit ihres Lebens ein wunderschönes Zuhause zu haben.

About EMY

What life with EMY looks like

EMY is a senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Berndshof in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting EMY, answered.

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