Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u.

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee.

Hanswurst

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

Hello, I am Hanswurst. I am probably the poorest little sausage from Remagen, because although I am such a great and lovable guy, I am stuck here at our shelter. This is very bad for me, as I am still quite insecure. I need a little bit of time to warm up to new people, but once I get to know them, I am totally cuddly and clingy. I am desperately looking for people who can give me security and are willing to work with me on my insecurities. When it comes to fellow animals, it depends on their sympathy whether I get along well with them or not. A calm, confident dog that I could orient myself to would certainly be great, but it is not a must. I am not into endurance sports. Although I like to go for a few cozy walks, I also like to lie lazily around in my dog bed. Due to my body structure, I should live on an even floor in my new home or even have the luxury of an elevator, as stairs do not agree with me at all. If you have a suitable spot for me free, then feel free to contact the animal shelter and arrange a meet-and-greet.

Hallo, ich bin Hanswurst. Ich bin wohl das ärmste Würstchen von Remagen, denn obwohl ich so ein toller und lieber Kerl bin, sitze ich hier im Tierheim. Das ist ganz schlimm für mich, da ich noch ganz schön unsicher bin. Ich brauche ein kleines bisschen Zeit, um mit neuen Leuten warm zu werden, aber wenn ich sie dann erstmal kenne, bin ich total verschmust und anhänglich. Ich suche dringend Menschen, die mir Sicherheit geben und bereit sind, mit mir an meinen Unsicherheiten zu arbeiten. Bei Artgenossen entscheidet die Sympathie, ob ich gut mit ihnen klar komme oder nicht. Ein ruhiger, souveräner Hund, an dem ich mich orientieren könnte wäre bestimmt auch toll, ist aber kein Muss. Ausdauersport ist nichts für mich. Ich gehe zwar gerne ein paar gemütliche Ründchen spazieren, aber liege auch genauso gerne faul in meinem Körbchen herum. Aufgrund meines Körperbaus sollte ich in meinem neuen Zuhause ebenerdig wohnen oder gar den Luxus eines Aufzugs haben, da mir und meinen Gelenken das Treppensteigen gar nicht gut tut. Wenn ihr also noch ein passendes Plätzchen für mich frei habt, dann meldet euch doch gerne im Tierheim und macht einen Kennenlern-Termin aus. Euer Hanswurst
