Adopt Flocke

German Shepherd · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

External Author, we cannot take responsibility for the text and content. Flocke is a female German Shepherd from the DDR line and was born in February, three years old. She is very spirited, playful, has her own mind, and the leash is not her friend as she pulls. Flocke unfortunately does not get along with our small dog, and cats are also not her friends. She loves playing with a ball with children. Flocke requires a very strong and experienced hand. She is a large guard dog and protects her family and property. Unfortunately, an incident occurred with us, as she had caught our small female dog, fortunately nothing worse happened, which is why we are unfortunately forced to place Flocke in loving but strict hands.

Flocke ist eine Schäferhündin aus der DDR Linie heraus und wurde im Februar 3 Jahre alt,sie ist sehr temperamentvoll, verspielt, hat ihren eigenen Kopf und die Leine ist nicht so ihr Freund da zieht sie. Flocke kommt leider mit unserem kleinen Hund nicht zurecht und Katzen sind auch nicht so ihre Freunde. Mit Kindern da spielt sie sehr gerne mit dem Ball. Flocke benötigt eine sehr starke und erfahrene Hand. Sie ist ein großer Wachhund und beschützt ihre Familie und ihr Eigentum. Leider kam es bei uns zu einem Vorfall , da sie unsere kleine Hündin erwischt hatte, Gott sei Dank nichts schlimmeres passiert, dadurch sind wir leider gezwungen Flocke in liebevolle aber strenge Hände abzugeben.

About Flocke

What life with Flocke looks like

Flocke is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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 Flocke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flocke?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ettlingen 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ettlingen 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 Flocke 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 Flocke 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 Ettlingen 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
