Ginger

Female · Senior · 9 years

The friendly Ginger was dropped off at the animal shelter in early January. This transition has been handled quite well by her, as she originally came from a two-person household where she lived since her puppyhood. Ginger is not used to being alone. Fortunately, she always has a fellow animal to keep her company. She also gets along well with other fellow animals. By now, Ginger is warming up, is happy to be out and about with her trusted people, and even allows them to touch her. The small brown female dog, born on June 4, 2017, is initially a bit skeptical of strangers. For Ginger, we are looking for a loving home with patient people who can give her the time she needs to settle in. Note: Ginger is currently on a foster home at the "WUFF HAUS". This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Die freundliche Ginger wurde Ende Januar im Tierheim abgegeben. Diese Umstellung hat sie recht gut gemeistert, denn ursprünglich stammt sie aus einem Zwei-Personen-Haushalt, in dem sie seit ihrer Welpenzeit gelebt hat. Ginger ist nicht gewohnt, alleine zu bleiben. Zum Glück hat sie immer einen Artgenossen, der ihr Gesellschaft leistet. Auch mit anderen Artgenossen kommt die Hündin gut klar. Mittlerweile taut Ginger zusehends auf, ist gerne mit ihren Bezugspersonen draußen unterwegs und lässt sich auch von diesen anfassen. Fremden gegenüber ist die kleine Braune, die am 4. Juni 2017 geboren ist, erst einmal skeptisch gegenüber eingestellt. Für Ginger suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihr die nötige Zeit geben, um ihr das Ankommen zu erleichtern. Hinweis: Ginger befindet sich auf einer Pflegestelle im “WUFF HAUS”.

About Ginger

What life with Ginger looks like

Ginger is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

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.

🇩🇪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 Ginger, answered.

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