Franzi

Female · Adult · 8 years

Für die anfangs etwas zurückhaltende Franzi sind wir auf der Suche nach einem Für-immer-Zuhause. Ist die freundliche Hundedame erst einmal aufgetaut, würde sie ihrem Menschen am liebsten nicht mehr von der Seite weichen. Franzi läuft bei uns tagsüber in einer gemischten Hundegruppe und findet sich dort gut zurecht. Als Zweithündin sehen wir sie bei einem souveränen Partnertier. Als Einzelprinzessin würde sich Franzi allerdings auch sehr wohl fühlen. Bei Spaziergängen mit unseren ehrenamtlichen Gassigeher*innen bekommt sie nur Lob, denn sie zeigt sich von ihrer besten Seite. Bei kleinen Kindern, die noch viel Wirbel ins Leben bringen, sehen wir Franzi nicht, da sie lieber Ruhe genießt. Bei uns im Tierheim ist Franzi eine entspannte Begleiterin in unserem Stationsalltag - und da sie noch nicht allzu lang in unserer Obhut ist, können wir noch nicht sagen, wie ausgeprägt die rassetypischen Charakterzüge eines Foxterriers bei ihr sind. Wenn Sie unserer Franzi ihren Wunsch nach einem neuen, fürsorglichen Zuhause erfüllen möchten, melden Sie sich gerne mit Ihrer ausgefüllten Selbstauskunft an: (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 24.06.2026 (hsk)

About Franzi

What life with Franzi looks like

Franzi is a small adult dog waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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 Franzi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franzi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hamburger Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Franzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franzi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Franzi 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 Franzi 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Franzi 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.
