Flenni

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

At the animal shelter since: June 2024 Estimated age: born approximately November 2019 Estimated shoulder height: about 50 – 59 cm Get to know Flenni directly in the video here! Gentle soul Flenni is looking for a safe home Flenni was rescued from a basement along with her puppies and brought to the animal shelter by the local team. More information about how the dogs come to the animal shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal protection FAQ. At the animal shelter, Flenni shows herself as rather reserved and cautious female dog. She initially keeps her distance from strangers and prefers to observe the situation from a distance. Often she looks out from her hut or from the back area of the enclosure and cautiously approaches after some time. Sometimes she comes closer to sniff briefly, but then retreats again. Direct contact is usually avoided by her. If one remains calm and gives her space, Flenni often stays in the same area lying down or sitting and attentively observes the events. Sometimes she also lies down relaxed. If one approaches her too closely, she usually stands up and increases the distance again. In some situations, she reacts to noises outside the enclosure by running to the fence and barking. With her enclosure companion Milo, she lives calmly together. During visits, little interaction was usually observed between the two, but they seem to tolerate each other without problems. Flenni has a shortened tail and is probably a German Shepherd mix. Flenni is a shy female dog that needs time to build trust. A quiet home in a rural area is sought for her, where patient people give her the time to arrive at her own pace and build security. We wish for this furry nose people who are aware that rescue dogs have a certain history. We can never predict in the animal shelter how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we are looking for people who bring patience, perseverance and goodwill. Already infatuated? Send us a self-disclosure form! Adoption If you are considering adoption, please read through the adoption process first. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas and neutered (exceptions are puppies under 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are additionally tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you still have questions, feel free to send a message to our adoption team.

Im Tierheim seit: Juni 2024 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. November 2019 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 50 – 59 cm Lerne hier Flenni direkt im Video kennen! Sanfte Seele Flenni sucht ein sicheres Zuhause Flenni wurde gemeinsam mit ihren Welpen aus einem Keller gerettet und vom Team vor Ort ins Tierheim gebracht. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Im Tierheim zeigt sich Flenni als eher zurückhaltende und vorsichtige Hündin. Fremden Menschen begegnet sie zunächst mit Abstand und beobachtet die Situation lieber aus der Entfernung. Häufig schaut sie aus ihrer Hütte oder aus dem hinteren Bereich des Zwingers zu und nähert sich erst nach einiger Zeit vorsichtig. Manchmal kommt sie näher, um kurz zu schnuppern, zieht sich danach aber wieder zurück. Direkter Kontakt wird von ihr bislang eher gemieden. Wenn man sich ruhig verhält und ihr Raum lässt, bleibt Flenni häufig im selben Bereich liegen oder sitzen und beobachtet das Geschehen aufmerksam. Teilweise legt sie sich auch entspannt hin. Nähert man sich ihr jedoch zu sehr, steht sie meist auf und vergrößert wieder den Abstand. In manchen Situationen reagiert sie auf Geräusche außerhalb des Zwingers, indem sie zum Gitter läuft und bellt. Mit ihrem Zwingerkollegen Milo lebt sie ruhig zusammen. Während der Besuche konnte zwischen den beiden meist wenig Interaktion beobachtet werden, sie scheinen sich jedoch problemlos zu tolerieren. Flenni hat eine verkürzte Rute und ist vermutlich ein Schäferhund- Mix. Flenni ist eine schüchterne Hündin, die Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Für sie wird ein ruhiges Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung gesucht, in dem geduldige Menschen ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Sicherheit aufzubauen. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Flenni

What life with Flenni looks like

Flenni is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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 Flenni, answered.

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