How do I contact the shelter about Haven?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Vaihingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Haven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Haven if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Vaihingen 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 Haven 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 Haven 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 Vaihingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Haven 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.

Haven

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am the pretty and shy Haven! I was born on 27.09.2022 and came to the animal shelter Vaihingen/Enz with my dog friend, who has already found her dream home. Since then, I have learned a lot here, like going for walks, which I really enjoy! Even though some new things still startle me a bit. In the animal shelter, I have many nice animal buddies with whom I get along well. At first, I am still shy with people, but once you get to know me, I think snuggling is simply amazing ♥ With a lot of patience and calmness, you will notice that I am a very loving dog who likes to be at your side. If you give me the time to get used to you in peace, I will be your faithful friend and companion for life! Who will give me a forever home? I am ready to give my heart and my love and loyalty to a person or a family.

Hallo, ich bin die hübsche und schüchterne Haven! Ich wurde am 27.09.2022 geboren und kam mit meiner Hundefreundin, die inzwischen schon ihr Traumzuhause gefunden hat, ins Tierheim Vaihingen/Enz. Inzwischen habe ich recht viel hier gelernt, Gassi gehen zum Beispiel finde ich richtig toll! Auch wenn mich das ein oder andere Neue noch etwas erschreckt. Im Tierheim habe ich viele nette Tierkumpels, mit denen ich mich gut verstehe. Bei Menschen bin ich anfangs noch schüchtern aber wenn ich dich erst mal kenne, finde ich Schmusen einfach großartig ♥ Mit viel Geduld und Ruhe wirst du feststellen, dass ich ein ganz lieber Hund bin, der gerne an deiner Seite ist. Wenn du mir die Zeit gibst, mich in Ruhe an dich zu gewöhnen werde ich deine treue Freundin und Begleiterin fürs Leben! Wer gibt mir ein Zuhause für immer? Ich bin bereit, mein Herz zu verschenken und einem Menschen oder einer Familie meine Liebe und Treue zu geben. Ich sehne mich nach einem Ort, an dem ich sicher und geborgen sein kann – einem Zuhause, in dem ich geliebt werden ♥

About Haven

What life with Haven looks like

Haven is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
