Flocke

Female · Senior · 10 years

Our dear senior dog Flocke is looking for her special person. Flocke is deaf and her eyesight is no longer quite as good. However, she copes wonderfully with her limitations and does not let them rob her of her joy for life. She is an incredibly sweet and friendly female dog who truly enjoys contact with people. Petting, closeness and time together mean a great deal to her. A home with another dog would in principle be possible. Since, because of her limitations, Flocke cannot always show or perceive canine communication as clearly, a confident and understanding resident dog should be present. Flocke wishes for a loving, quiet home.

Unsere liebe Hunde-Omi Flocke sucht ihren Herzensmenschen. Flocke ist taub und ihr Sehvermögen ist nicht mehr ganz so gut. Mit ihrer Einschränkungen kommt sie jedoch wunderbar zurecht und lässt sich ihre Lebensfreude nicht nehmen. Sie ist eine unglaublich liebe und freundliche Hündin, die den Kontakt zu Menschen sehr genießt. Streicheleinheiten, Nähe und gemeinsame Zeit bedeuten ihr sehr viel. Ein Zuhause mit einem weiteren Hund wäre grundsätzlich möglich. Da Flocke aufgrund ihrer Einschränkungen die hündische Kommunikation nicht immer so deutlich zeigen oder wahrnehmen kann ,sollte ein souveräner und verständnisvoller Ersthund vorhanden sein. Flocke wünscht sich ein liebevolles, ruhiges Zuhause.

About Flocke

What life with Flocke looks like

Flocke is a senior dog waiting at Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V. in Bad Oldesloe.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flocke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flocke?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flocke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flocke if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V. whether they will for Flocke, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Flocke already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V. lists Flocke as not yet spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Flocke isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutz Bad Oldesloe e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flocke 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.
