How do I contact the shelter about Frank?

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

Can I adopt Frank if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glück für Pfoten 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 Frank 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 Frank 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 Glück für Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frank 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.

Frank

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The pretty Frank was probably abandoned. Unfortunately, nothing is known about her background. Frank is a lively and energetic young four-legged friend who is devoted to people. During our last visit to our shelter, we found her to be inquisitive and open-minded. At the moment, however, Frank can't handle other dogs, so we imagine she would feel most comfortable as a singleton in a home where she receives all the attention from her people. Children and small animals should not live in the new home. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – The Path to a New Life – Tel. and Mail: including a safety harness As we are working, we might not be able to respond to you until several hours later. It is best to contact the above mentioned matchmaker initially in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don't forget to mention your phone number). Please be patient! Our shelter animals travel with Traces and are exclusively rehomed within Germany (nationwide). If you are applying for a dog and are renting, please arrange a written landlord's statement that the husbandry of (another or a new) dog is allowed. We can only match dogs if no lift is available, to prevent any health limitations.

Der hübsche Frank wurde vermutlich ausgesetzt. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist leider nichts bekannt. Frank ist ein fröhlicher und bewegungsfreudiger junger Vierbeiner, der den Menschen zugetan ist. Bei unserem letzten Besuch im Tierheim erlebten wir ihn als neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Auf andere Hunde kann Frank momentan allerdings (noch) gut verzichten, sodass wir uns vorstellen könnten, dass er sich als Einzelprinz in einem Haushalt, wo ihm die ganze Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen zuteilwird, am wohlsten fühlen würde. Kinder und Kleintiere sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – Der Weg in ein neues Leben – Tel. und WhatsApp: Mail: Schutzgebühr: 440 € inkl. Sicherheitsgeschirr Da wir berufstätig sind, können wir uns u. U. erst einige Stunden später bei Ihnen zurückmelden. Am besten kontaktieren Sie die o. g. Vermittlerin zunächst schriftlich (per E-Mail oder WhatsApp) und bitten um Rückruf (ggf. Mitteilung der Telefonnummer nicht vergessen). Bitte haben Sie etwas Geduld! Unsere Schützlinge reisen mit Traces und werden ausschließlich nach Deutschland (deutschlandweit) vermittelt. Insofern Sie sich für einen Hund bewerben möchten und zur Miete leben, organisieren Sie bitte eine schriftliche Vermieterbescheinigung darüber, dass die Haltung eines (weiteren oder neuen) Hundes erlaubt ist. Wir vermitteln Hunde, insofern kein Fahrstuhl vorhanden ist, maximal ins 2. OG, um gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen vorzubeugen. Im Rahmen der

About Frank

What life with Frank looks like

Frank is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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.
