How do I contact the shelter about Gitta?

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 Gitta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gitta 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 Gitta 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 Gitta 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 Gitta 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.

Adopt Gitta

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Gitta is the only girl in the small group, which also includes Momoa and Robin. The three were found on the premises of our new animal shelter - thrown over the fence and only discovered in time due to great luck. Despite their difficult start in life, Gitta shows a cheerful, open and full of joy for life. During the photo shoot, she patiently participated and curiously observed everything - a little dog lady with a big heart. Glück für Pfoten e.V. - The way to a new life - Phone and email: including harness. As we are employed, we may get back to you several hours later. It is best to contact the above-mentioned mediator first in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a call back (don't forget to include your phone number if necessary). Please be patient! Our animals travel with Traces and are rehomed exclusively within Germany (nationwide). If you would like to apply for a dog and you are renting, please arrange a written certificate from your landlord that keeping a (further or new) dog is allowed. We rehome dogs, provided there is no elevator, up to the 2nd floor, to prevent health limitations.

About Gitta

What life with Gitta looks like

Gitta is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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.
