How do I contact the shelter about Finni?

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

Can I adopt Finni if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Hanau 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 Finni 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 Finni 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 Tierschutz Hanau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Finni 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.

Finni

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Breed: Bulldog Mix / Old English Bulldog Born: June 30, 2017 Gender: Female - neutered Color: brown with a white chest spot Size: approx. 46 cm Weight: 19.9 kg In the animal shelter since: September 17, 2024 Finni seeks experienced people and would like to be a solo princess, so there should be no other pets in the household. She is very cuddly and prefers to spend her time with her people. Driving is not a problem at all, and she is comfortable being alone for a few hours. She occasionally tests her boundaries with other dogs, where she needs consistent leadership. Due to a previous biting incident, Finni is classified as potentially dangerous and requires a muzzle and leash. She was secured last year in August 2024 after failing the behavioral assessment and came to us shortly after. Intensive work was done with her at the shelter, preparing her for the new behavioral assessment. In March 2025, Finni passed this assessment with distinction. Now, Finni is looking for a new home with few stairs, as she has age-related problems in her back and legs.

Rasse: Bulldogmischling / Old English Bulldog Geboren: 30.06.2017 Geschlecht: weiblich - kastriert Farbe: braun mit weißem Brustfleck Größe: ca. 46 cm Gewicht: 19,9 kg Im Tierheim seit: 17.09.2024 Finni sucht erfahrene Menschen und möchte gerne Einzelprinzessin sein, daher sollten keine weiteren Tiere im Haushalt leben. Sie ist sehr verschmust und verbringt ihre Zeit am liebsten mit ihren Menschen. Auto fahren ist überhaupt kein Problem und auch ein paar Stunden alleine bleiben nicht. Sie testet ab und an mal ihre Grenzen bei Hundebegegnungen aus, wo sie eine konsequente Führung braucht. Aufgrund eines früheren Beißvorfalls, ist Finni als gefährlich eingestuft worden und hat Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht. Sie wurde letztes Jahr im August 2024 sichergestellt, da sie durch den Wesenstest gefallen ist und kam kurz darauf zu uns ins Tierheim. Im Tierheim wurde intensiv mit ihr gearbeitet und sie auf den neuen Wesenstest vorbereitet. Im März 2025 hat Finni diesen mit Bravour bestanden. Nun sucht Finni ein neues Zuhause mit wenig Treppen, da sie altersbedingt Probleme im Rücken und in den Beinen hat.

About Finni

What life with Finni looks like

Finni is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Hanau in Hanau.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
