Adopt Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Gender: female/neutered Age: born 01.04.2025 Location: Shelter/Portugal compatibility with others: male dogs & Weibchen Gretchen was surrendered to our partner shelter. She is a very loving, happy, and friendly female dog. Gretchen is a typical young dog with a lot of energy. She loves people. At first, she is a bit unsure, but once the ice is broken, she is ready for cuddles and play. When playing and greeting other dogs, she can be a bit stormy – here, Gretchen can learn to become more relaxed. Gretchen, in general, still has a lot to learn – the dog ABC, leash training, house training, and all the things that belong to a normal dog and family life. It should be noted that every shelter dog, especially considering their past, brings their own story. Therefore, we can never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living together in Germany with you. Gretchen can travel to a foster or permanent placement. This animal was abandoned.

Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Alter: geb. 01.04.2025 Standort: Shelter/Portugal Verträglichkeit: Rüden & Weibchen Gretchen wurde vor unserem Partnertierheim ausgesetzt. Sie ist eine sehr liebe, fröhliche und freundliche Hündin. Gretchen ist ein typischer junger Hund mit viel Energie. Sie liebt Menschen. Anfangs ist sie etwas unsicher, kommt aber, sobald das Eis gebrochen ist, zum kuscheln und zum spielen. Beim Spielen und beim Begrüßen der anderen Hunde ist sie noch etwas stürmisch – hier darf Gretchen lernen etwas entspannter zu werden. Gretchen muss generell noch ein bisschen lernen – das Hunde-ABC, Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit und all die Sachen, die zu einem normalen Hunde- und Familienleben gehören. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Gretchen kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pro Dog International e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pro Dog International 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 Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm 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 Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm 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 Pro Dog International e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gretchen auf Pflegestelle in 58332 Schwelm 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.
