Adopt Enshu

Female · Adult · 8 years

If you are interested in Enshu, please fill out our Getting to Know You form, Getting to Know You form. 15th Jun. 2025 Enshu is an 8-year-old Afghan Hound female dog who has unfortunately had a very difficult time over the past few months. After her owner passed away, there was initially no solution for her future, so she was left alone in the deceased owner's house. Only an old cat kept her company. Otherwise, someone came by every two days to feed her, and there was no other interaction for months. When she finally arrived at her current foster home, she had already lost her trust in people. It also turned out that the owner was probably unable to take proper care of his female dog in the last period, as her fur was so matted that it had to be shaved off under sedation, like sheep's wool. Additionally, due to the neglect she experienced, her eyes, teeth, and ears are currently being treated intensively by a veterinarian. Enshu is cautious and reserved with people, but her foster home has already made great progress. She gets along well with other dogs, is still quite fit for her age, and is tolerant of cats. However, she has a strong prey drive, and once she gains trust, she likes to claim her person. This is something that Enshu would like to work on in her next home. She also needs to learn to be groomed and cleaned around her face without stress. We are therefore looking for experienced people who can give dear Enshu a new home with patience and time to help her learn the things that are currently challenging for her. Gets along with other cats.

Wenn Sie sich für Enshu interessieren, füllen Sie bitte unser Kennenlern-Formular aus, Kennenlernformular. 15. Jun. 2025 Enshu ist eine 8 Jahre alte Afghanen Hündin, die die letzten Monate leider eine sehr schwere Zeit durchleben musste. Nachdem ihr Herrchen verstorben war, gab es erstmal keine Lösung für den Verbleib der lieben Maus, so dass sie alleine in dem Haus des verstorbenen Herrchens zurück blieb.Einzig eine alte Katze leistete ihr noch Gesellschaft. Ansonsten kam alle zwei Tage jemand zum füttern vorbei und mehr Interaktion gab es über Monate nicht. Als sie endlich auf ihre jetzige Pflegestelle kam, hatte sie das Vertrauen in Menschen bereits verloren. Es stellte sich auch raus, dass das Herrchen die letzte Zeit wahrscheinlich selbst nicht mehr in der Lage war sich ausreichend um seine Hündin zu kümmern, da das Fell so stark verfilzt war, dass es unter Sedierung abgeschoren werden musste, wie ein Schafsfell. Des weiteren werden derzeit, durch die Verwahrlosung der sie ausgesetzt war, ihre Augen, Zähne und Ohren intensiv tiermedizinisch behandelt werden. Enshu ist vorsichtig und zurückhaltend mit Menschen, die Pflegestelle hat aber schon tolle Fortschritte erzielen können. Sie verträgt sich gut mit anderen Hunden, ist insgesamt noch recht fit für ihr Alter und verträglich mit Katzen.Dennoch hat sie einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb und wenn sie erstmal Vertrauen gefasst hat, beansprucht sie gerne ihren Menschen für sich. Dies ist etwas, woran Enshu gerne in ihrem nächsten Zuhause arbeiten würde. Genauso wie sie noch lernen muss, sich stressfrei kämmen und auch im Gesicht säubern zu lassen. Wir suchen also erfahrene Menschen, die der lieben Enshu ein neues Zuhause mit Geduld und Zeit schenken, die Dinge zu lernen die ihr im Moment schwer fallen.

About Enshu

What life with Enshu looks like

Enshu is a adult dog waiting at Windhunde in Not in Österreich.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Enshu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Enshu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Windhunde in Not handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Enshu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Enshu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Windhunde in Not 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 Enshu 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 Enshu 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 Windhunde in Not early rather than rehoming privately; they know Enshu 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.
