Georgina

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

During our brief visit in October, we visited Gabi in Goiesti, the small shelter where only a few old dogs now spend their remaining years safely and well cared for. Suddenly, we saw a completely emaciated, fearful female dog below the premises. A small shepherd mix, probably not even a year old. Gabi told us that she was staying on the neighboring property and probably had puppies. Indeed, we then saw some puppies playing in the bushes. Recently, Gabi managed to secure the puppies to vaccinate, deworm and care for them. There were four females and two males. Four siblings will be rehomed by our partner animal shelter Dornbusch in Schalksmühle. Gaya (black back) and Georgina (blonde) are still looking for foster or permanent placement with the right people who are willing to take on the challenge of "young dog" and preferably also have experience with shepherds.

Bei unserer kleinen Stippvisite im Oktober besuchten wir Gabi in Goiesti, die kleine Auffangstation wo eigentlich nur noch einige alte Hunde in Sicherheit und gut versorgt ihren Lebensabend verbringen. Plötzlich sahen wir unterhalb des Geländes eine völlig abgemagerte, ängstliche Hündin. Ein kleiner Schäferhundmischling, wahrscheinlich noch nicht mal ein Jahr alt. Gabi erzählte uns, das sie sich auf dem Nachbargrundstück aufhält und wohl auch Welpen hat. Tatsächlich sahen wir dann auch im Gebüsch einige Welpen spielen. Vor kurzem gelang es Gabi, die Welpen zu sichern um sie zu impfen, zu entwurmen und zu versorgen. Es waren 4 Mädels und 2 Jungs. 4 Geschwister werden dankenswerterweise von unserm Partnertierheim Dornbusch in Schalksmühle vermittelt. Die hübsche blonde Georgina sucht derweil noch nach Pflege- oder Endstelle bei den richtigen Menschen, die bereit sind, sich der Aufgabe „junger Hund“ zu stellen und im optimalen Fall auch schon Schäferhunderfahrung mitbringen. Sie ist sehr anhänglich, offen und sportlich.

About Georgina

What life with Georgina looks like

Georgina is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Friends for Life Germany e.V. in Hemer.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Georgina, answered.

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