How do I contact the shelter about Flocke?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u.

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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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.

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.

Flocke

Golden Retriever · Female · Senior · 13 years

Hello, I am Flocke. I came here to the animal shelter because there were several accidents in my old family, and they could no longer take care of me. So, I haven't been walked in a while and have just been sitting in a stall in the garden. The housekeeper would come by once a day and at least give us some food. Fortunately, the family's siblings decided to bring us here to ensure species-appropriate husbandry. It's very stressful for an old lady like me here at the animal shelter. I only find true peace in my enclosure, as I get too excited seeing the people I can see. I am totally housebroken, go well on the leash, am generally compatible with other dogs, and can also be left alone, which I had to learn... Since I regularly unloaded my front leg, I need to be checked by a vet again, but first, I need to go on a diet. A blood test also needs to be done to check my kidney and liver values. Despite all that, I still hope to meet you soon!

Hallo, ich bin die Flocke Ich kam hier ins Tierheim, weil es mehrere Unfälle in meiner alten Familie gab und diese mich nicht mehr versorgen konnten. So bin ich seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr gassi gegangen und saß nur noch in einem Stall im Garten. Dort kam die Hauswärterin einmal am Tag vorbei und hat uns wenigstens Futter gegeben. Immerhin etwas. Die Geschwister der Familie haben sich dann aber zum Glück dazu entschlossen uns hier hin zu bringen, damit eine Artgerechte Haltung gewährleistet wird. Hier im Tierheim ist es sehr stressig für so eine alte Dame wie mich. Wirklich Ruhe finde ich nur in meinem Zwinger, da ich mich sonst zu sehr über die Menschen freue, die ich sehen kann. Ich bin total verkuschelt, gehe gut an der Leine, bin grundsätzlich verträglich mit anderen Hunden und kann auch gut alleine bleiben, das musste ich ja zwangsläufig lernen... Da ich vorne mein Bein regelmäßig entlaste, muss ich nochmal tierärztlich durchgecheckt werden, dafür muss ich aber zu erst auf Diät. Ein großes Blutbild muss bei mir auch noch gemacht werden, um meine Nieren und Leberwerte abchecken zu lassen. Ich hoffe trotzdem euch demnächst mal kennen zu lernen! Bis bald, Eure Flocke

About Flocke

What life with Flocke looks like

Flocke is a large senior golden retriever dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.
