Adopt Hazel

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

The Coburger Fallow Kid, born around 2015, came from a flock in Lower Saxony and was seized by the veterinary office Diepholz in April 2020 together with her son Haru as well as about 100 other sheep. The herd was severely neglected, with irregular feeding and deworming, and the animals were emaciated. That so-called "production animals" are taken away from unreliable keepers is, of course, to be welcomed, as often the veterinary offices are too late and unfortunately not at all active from the perspective of animal welfare. But through the seizure, "production animals" unfortunately usually also escape the slaughter. They are handed over to another operation that fattens them up until they are again "marketable." But Hazel and her son Haru had great luck: In our foster home Rehden, there was just room for a few sheep, and caretaker Hartmut had become aware of the seized herd. The dealer who took them over willingly gave eight sheep and a nanny goat with her two kids to Schutzengel für Tiere at the slaughter price. He sheared the sheep for free and brought them to our foster home. We keep finding out that "livestock dealers" are happy to use us to do a little good work once in a while. But it is always horrifying to have to choose animals for rescue in such stables, knowing that all the others must go to the slaughterhouse. Now fill out the sponsorship declaration.

Das etwa 2015 geborene Coburger Fuchsschafmädchen stammt aus einer Schäferei in Niedersachsen und wurde im April 2020 zusammen mit ihrem Sohn Haru sowie rund 100 weiteren Schafen vom Veterinäramt Diepholz beschlagnahmt. Die Herde war schwer vernachlässigt, es mangelte an regelmäßiger Fütterung und Wurmkuren, die Tiere waren abgemagert. Dass sogenannte „Nutztiere“ einem unzuverlässigen Halter weggenommen werden, ist natürlich sehr zu begrüßen, denn oft werden die Veterinärämter aus Sicht des Tierschutzes viel zu spät und nicht selten leider auch gar nicht tätig. Aber durch die Beschlagnahmung entgehen „Nutztiere“ leider in der Regel auch nicht der Schlachtung. Sie werden an einen anderen Betrieb übergeben, der sie auffüttert, bis sie wieder „vermarktungsfähig“ sind. Hazel und ihr Sohn Haru hatten aber Riesenglück: In unserer Pflegestelle Rehden war gerade Platz für einige Schafe und Betreuer Hartmut war auf die beschlagnahmte Herde aufmerksam gemacht worden. Der Händler, der sie übernommen hatte, gab bereitwillig acht Schafe und eine Ziegenmama mit ihren beiden Kindern zum Schlachtpreis an Schutzengel für Tiere ab. Er scherte die Schafe kostenlos und brachte sie auch zu uns in die Pflegestelle. Wir stellen immer wieder fest, dass „Viehhändler“ uns gerne benutzen, um dann doch auch mal ein, wenn auch kleines, gutes Werk zu tun. Es ist aber jedes Mal schrecklich, in solchen Ställen Tiere zur Rettung auswählen zu müssen, in dem Wissen, dass alle anderen zum Schlachthof fahren müssen. Jetzt Patenschaftserklärung ausfüllen.

About Hazel

What life with Hazel looks like

Hazel is a medium-sized adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Hazel far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Hazel, answered.

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