How do I contact the shelter about Esmeralda?

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

Can I adopt Esmeralda 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 Esmeralda 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 Esmeralda 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 Esmeralda 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.

Esmeralda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Esmeralda is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, medically examined, and has an EU Pass. My name is Esmeralda and I am a mixed-breed dog born around September 2024, with a shoulder height of approximately 54cm. Currently, I live at the animal shelter Herzsprung and am searching for a loving family with whom I can enjoy many beautiful years. I am a female dog who builds a very close bond with my people and is incredibly loyal to them. However, I must confess that I am currently very insecure and fearful around strangers. I need a lot of love and attention to build trust, and then gradually lose my insecurity. If you can convince me that you have my best interests at heart, then I will become an extremely friendly and open dog who will bring great joy to my owner. I love to be cuddled and enjoy the cuddle time with them. I will also enthusiastically explore nature with my people. There are still many things I need to learn, but as a very smart and intelligent lady, I learn quickly what is expected of me. You will also need to show me a lot of the world, as I have unfortunately not had the chance to learn much so far, but I would like to catch up with you. Currently, I am still very insecure and overwhelmed in new situations, so my owner should be able to provide me with security. I am also happy to live with a dog buddy in my future family, as I get along well with my fellow animals. In my new home, children can also live, but they should already have reached a responsible age. Now you know a lot about me, so give me a call to meet me in person.

Esmeralda ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU-Pass. mein Name ist Esmeralda und ich bin eine ca. am 09.2024 geborene Mischlingsdame und habe eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 54cm. Derzeit lebe ich im Tierheim Herzsprung und suche eine liebevolle Familie, mit der ich viele schöne Jahre erleben kann. Ich bin eine Hundedame, die eine sehr enge Bindung zu meinen Menschen aufbaut und wahnsinnig treu ihnen gegenüber ist. Jedoch muss ich euch gestehen, dass ich bei fremden Menschen derzeit noch sehr unsicher und schreckhaft reagiere. Ich benötige erst einmal viel Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und verliere dann Stück für Stück meine Unsicherheit. Konntet ihr mich überzeugen, das ihr es nur gut mit mir meint, bin ich dann eine überaus freundliche und aufgeschlossene Hundedame, die ihrem Besitzer viel Freude bereiten wird. Am liebsten lasse ich mich von ihnen kräftig durch knuddeln und genieße die gemeinsame Kuschelzeit sehr. Ebenfalls werde ich mit Begeisterung mit meinen Menschen dir Natur erkunden. Es gibt noch eine menge Dinge, die ich lernen muss, aber da ich eine ganz schlaue und intelligente Lady bin, lerne ich sehr schnell, was man von mir möchte. Ihr müsst mir auch noch ganz viel von der Welt zeigen, da ich leider bisher nicht viel kennenlernen konnte, doch möchte ich dies gerne mit euch nachholen. Denn aktuell bin ich in neuen Situationen noch sehr unsicher und überfordert, daher sollte mein Besitzer mir Sicherheit vermitteln können. Gerne kann ich meiner künftigen Familie auch bereits ein Hundekumpel leben, da ich mich ausgezeichnet mit meinen Artgenossen verstehe. In meinem neuen Zuhause können auch gerne Kinder leben, jedoch sollten diese bereits ein verantwortungsbewusstes Alter erreicht haben. Jetzt wisst ihr ja einiges über mich, dann ran ans Telefon und angerufen, um mich persönlich kennen zu lernen.

About Esmeralda

What life with Esmeralda looks like

Esmeralda is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

An young 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.
