Adopt Grete

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Breed: mixed breed. Gender: female. Age: born 12/29/2025. Weight: 12.5 kg. At animal shelter since: 05/07/2026. Special features: Grete is a young mixed-breed female dog currently living in a foster home where she gets to experience many aspects of everyday life. Since she is not permanently at the animal shelter, meetings can only be arranged by prior appointment. Grete initially appears rather uncertain and needs some time to gain trust. Once she has gotten to know her people, she warms up significantly and readily shows her cuddly, loving, and affectionate side. She then enjoys attention and closeness from familiar people to the fullest. In her foster home, Grete lives without issues with other dogs, cats, a toddler, as well as chickens, sheep, and goats. She is especially sociable with other dogs. A confident second dog could help her gain more confidence in new situations but is not a requirement. Grete has not yet experienced much of everyday life and still has many things to learn. Topics such as environmental stimuli, daily situations, and safety in her new home should therefore be patiently practiced further with her. Since Grete already pays good attention to her home and her trusted people, we wish for her a home with a fenced garden where she can settle in quietly and gain security. We are looking for people for Grete who have patience, understanding, and joy in showing a young, initially unsure female dog the world and giving her the time she needs.

Rasse: Mischling. Geschlecht: weiblichAlter: geb. 29.12.2025. Gewicht: 12,5 kgim Tierheim seit: 07.05.2026Besonderheiten:Grete ist eine junge Mischlingshündin, die aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle lebt und dort bereits viele Eindrücke des Alltags kennenlernen darf. Da sie sich nicht dauerhaft im Tierheim befindet, ist ein Kennenlernen nur nach vorheriger Terminabsprache möglich. Grete zeigt sich anfangs noch recht unsicher und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie ihre Menschen jedoch erst einmal kennengelernt, taut sie deutlich auf und zeigt ihre verschmuste, liebevolle und anhängliche Seite sehr gerne. Aufmerksamkeit und Nähe von vertrauten Personen genießt sie dann in vollen Zügen. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle lebt Grete problemlos mit weiteren Hunden, Katzen, einem Kleinkind sowie Hühnern, Schafen und Ziegen zusammen. Besonders mit anderen Hunden ist sie sehr sozialverträglich. Ein souveräner Zweithund könnte ihr dabei helfen, in neuen Situationen mehr Sicherheit zu gewinnen, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Grete kennt bisher noch nicht viel vom normalen Alltag und muss viele Dinge erst noch lernen. Themen wie Umweltreize, Alltagssituationen und Sicherheit im neuen Zuhause sollten daher geduldig weiter mit ihr geübt werden. Da Grete bereits gut auf ihr Zuhause und ihre Bezugspersonen achtet, wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause mit eingezäuntem Garten, in dem sie in Ruhe ankommen und Sicherheit gewinnen kann. Für Grete suchen wir Menschen mit Geduld, Verständnis und Freude daran, einer jungen, anfangs unsicheren Hündin die Welt zu zeigen und ihr die Zeit zu geben, die sie braucht.

About Grete

What life with Grete looks like

Grete is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lübbersdorf in Germany.

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 Grete, answered.

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