Adopt Gina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The approximately 1-year-old female dog was left with Lioness in their home in Bulgaria after the owner moved away. An animal rescuer subsequently took the two in on a farm. Gina is very friendly with people. Age-appropriately, she is playful, curious, and gets along well with other dogs. She is also familiar with living with cats. Gina is an energetic, lively female dog and is due to arrive in Heilbronn on May 23, 2026. For the little lady dog, we are looking for people who can dedicate enough time and patience to raising a young dog and attending dog training classes with her. A detailed description and current pictures will follow shortly.

Die etwa 1 Jahr alte Hündin wurde gemeinsam mit Lioness in ihrem Zuhause in Bulgarien zurückgelassen, nachdem die Besitzerin ausgewandert ist. Eine Tierschützerin hat die beiden daraufhin bei sich auf einem Hof aufgenommen. Gina zeigt sich sehr freundlich mit Menschen. Altersentsprechend ist sie verspielt, neugierig und verträglich mit anderen Hunden. Auch das Zusammenleben mit Katzen kennt sie bereits. Gina ist eine aufgeweckte, lebensfrohe Hündin und kommt voraussichtlich am 23.05.2026 zu uns nach Heilbronn. Für die kleine Hundedame suchen wir Menschen, die genügend Zeit und Geduld aufbringen können einen jungen Hund zu erziehen und mit ihm eine Hundeschule besuchen. Eine genaue Beschreibung und aktuelle Bilder folgen in Kürze.

About Gina

What life with Gina looks like

Gina is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

An young 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 Gina, answered.

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