How do I contact the shelter about Hawk?

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

Can I adopt Hawk if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Hawk 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 Hawk 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hawk 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 Hawk

Mixed Breed · Female

neutered: No breed: mixed breed (ca. 60 cm – 65 cm) compatibility with others: Gets along well with female dogs; cats: Not known, cannot be tested! Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Hawk is a very loving and calm male dog. He has a deformed paw on his front right. He already arrived at the intake station like this. It does not hinder him in any way. We suspect it is congenital. Hawk is people-oriented, friendly, and calm. He has not yet learned to walk on a leash. He was found on a main road while searching for food and water. Dogs in Turkey have to learn to be independent very early on. We are looking for an experienced home for him, where Hawk will receive the time and patience needed to settle in. Ideally, his new home is rural with a fenced-in dog-safe yard. For housing in an apartment in the city, he is not suitable.

Kastriert: Noch nicht Rasse: Mischling (ca. 60 cm – 65 cm) Verträglichkeit: Gut mit Hündinnen verträglich; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann NICHT getestet werden! Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Hawk ist ein sehr lieber und ruhiger Rüde. Vorne rechts hat er ein deformiertes Pfötchen. Er kam so bereits in die Auffangstation. Es behindert ihn in keinster Weise. Wir vermuten, dass es angeboren ist. Hawk ist menschenbezogen, freundlich und ruhig. Er kennt es noch nicht an der Leine zu gehen. Er wurde auf der Suche nach Futter und Wasser an einer Hauptverkehrsstraße gefunden. Die Hunde in der Türkei müssen schon sehr früh lernen, auf sich alleine gestellt zu sein. Wir suchen für ihn ein erfahrenes Zuhause, wo man Hawk Zeit und auch Geduld entgegenbringt, dass er sich in Ruhe einleben kann. Idealerweise liegt sein neues Zuhause ländlich mit einem hundesicher eingezäunten Garten. Für die Haltung in einer Etagenwohnung in der Stadt ist er nicht geeignet.

About Hawk

What life with Hawk looks like

Hawk is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An 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.
