Felicia

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 1 year

Felicia comes originally from Hungary, Animal Shelter Nyíregyháza. She recently traveled to Germany and moved in with her family. Unfortunately, she cannot stay there as she turns out to be smarter than expected. This means walks and small mental tasks are not enough for Felicia. However, the family cannot provide more and therefore we all hope to find the right family for Felicia. She is, as mentioned, incredibly smart and you would have to find out together what she enjoys the most. Otherwise, there are no problems or behavioral issues. Overall, she still needs training. For example, Felicia is very compatible with other dogs, but very restless and excited. Basically, she is house trained, but it takes a while, and sometimes something goes wrong. Being alone is currently being practiced. Felicia is very attentive and picks up every stimulus, which is probably more due to the fact that she is not exercised enough and looks for something herself. The same is true for the topic of hunting instinct. Felicia likes to cuddle, is friendly and open. She has no fear of touch and no fears. She loves swimming and has a very funny way that makes everyone laugh. Please only apply for a dog if you can adopt it soon! Foster homes are not long-term accommodation - foster homes cannot "reserve" dogs for several weeks or even months. For the dogs, a quick move to the final home is important, as they increasingly settle in at the foster home, which can make a later change more difficult and is not necessary if a home is found. In addition, the foster home places are urgently needed, as there are many dogs in Hungary waiting to be moved in. Thank you for your understanding and your support on behalf of the dogs!

Felicia kommt ursprünglich aus Ungarn, Tierheim Nyíregyháza. Vor kurzer Zeit ist sie nach Deutschland gereist und bei ihrer Familie eingezogen. Dort kann sie aber leider nicht bleiben, da sie sich als schlauer entpuppt als gedacht. Bedeutet spazieren gehen und kleine mentale Aufgaben reichen Felicia nicht. Mehr kann die Familie aber nicht leisten und deshalb hoffen wir alle, nun die passende Familie für Felicia zu finden. Sie ist wie gesagt wahnsinnig klug und man müsste gemeinsam herausfinden, woran sie den meisten Spaß hat. Ansonsten gibt es keine Probleme oder Verhaltensauffäligkeiten. Insgesamt muss sie natürlich noch weiterhin trainiert werden. Zum Beispiel ist Felicia top verträglich mit Artgenossen, aber sehr ungestüm und aufgeregt. Grundsätzlich stubenrein, wenn es länger dauert, geht aber doch mal was daneben. Alleine bleiben wird grade geübt. Felicia ist sehr aufmerksam und fängt jeden Reiz auf, was aber wahrscheinlich eher daran liegt, dass sie nicht ausgelastet ist und sich selbst etwas sucht. Dasselbe denken wir beim Thema Jagdtrieb. Felicia kuschelt gerne, ist freundlich und offen. Hat keine Berührungsängste und keine Ängste. Sie liebt schwimmen und hat eine mega lustige Art, mit der sie alle zum lachen bringt. Bitte bewerbt euch nur für einen Hund, wenn ihr ihn auch zeitnah adoptieren könnt! Pflegestellen sind keine langfristigen Unterbringungsorte – die Pflegestellen können Hunde nicht über mehrere Wochen oder gar Monate „reservieren“. Für die Hunde ist zudem ein schneller Umzug ins endgültige Zuhause wichtig, da sie sich zunehmend auf der Pflegestelle einleben, was einen späteren Wechsel erschweren kann und nicht notwendig ist, wenn ein Zuhause gefunden ist. Außerdem werden die Pflegestellenplätze dringend benötigt, denn es warten viele Hunde in Ungarn, die dann nachrücken können. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis und eure Unterstützung im Sinne der Hunde! RegularLabs.EmailProtector.unCloak("ep_39b99a86"); RegularLabs.EmailProtector.unCloak("ep_c7fb79af");

About Felicia

What life with Felicia looks like

Felicia is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Felicia, answered.

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