How do I contact the shelter about Flicka?

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

Can I adopt Flicka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bergheim 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 Flicka 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 Flicka 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 Bergheim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flicka 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.

Flicka

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

The poor Flicka came to us because her owners moved and couldn't take her along. At first, she was quite stressed, but she's becoming more relaxed with each passing day. She loves going for walks—though not necessarily with just anyone. Trust seems to play a big role for her. When she likes someone, she can get really silly and playful. She gives paw pats at every opportunity and absolutely loves being petted. She’s apparently familiar with cats, but her previous owner reported that she always barks at them. Flicka would be ideally suited to calm, quiet people who no longer wish to engage in intense physical activities. She prefers a cozy, relaxed lifestyle and isn't an athlete looking for high-performance exercise. As for her health, we're still waiting for her blood test results before we can say more. Unfortunately, she can't yet stay alone, as she's never had to do so before. If you're interested in getting to know Flicka better, please feel free to send us a detailed email.

Die arme Flicka kam zu uns, weil ihre Besitzer umgezogen sind und sie nicht mitnehmen konnten. Sie war anfangs ziemlich gestresst, taut aber jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr auf. Sie geht gerne spazieren, allerdings nicht mit jedem. Vertrauen scheint bei ihr eine große Rolle zu spielen. Wenn sie jemanden mag, kann sie richtig albern werden. Sie gibt bei jeder Gelegenheit Pfötchen und mag es sehr, gekrault zu werden. Sie kennt wohl Katzen, aber sie bellt sie immer an, so berichtete ihr Vorbesitzer. Ideal aufgehoben wäre Flicka bei ruhigen Menschen, die keine großen Sporteinheiten mehr absolvieren möchten. Sie mag es eher gemütlich und ist keine Leistungssportlerin. Gesundheitlich warten wir noch auf ihr Blutergebnis, dann können wir mehr sagen. Alleine bleiben kann sie leider nicht, da sie es bisher nie musste.Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Flicka interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Flicka

What life with Flicka looks like

Flicka is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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.
