Hazel

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hündin - approximately 5 years old (as of October 2026) - approximately 55 cm - spayed at time of adoption. Origin: Hazel was rescued from the shelter along with her puppies. Fortunately, this part of her life is now behind her and she is in a safe place. Now we wish for Hazel to find her own happiness soon - with people who show her how beautiful a life in security can be. Hazel is open to people, but is a quiet and cautious dog. She doesn't seem to be one who immediately jumps to the front, but would probably rather observe things quietly first. Although she is open to people, she will need time to get used to her new life in Germany. A foreign environment, new sounds and many unfamiliar situations can be a challenge for her at first. Therefore, Hazel should be given the opportunity to arrive at her own pace and build trust. We have to assume that Hazel is not familiar with walking on a leash and is not house trained yet. She may need to learn everyday routines, living in the house and many things that are self-evident for our dogs. For this, she needs people who approach her with patience, calmness and understanding and do not set too high expectations for her. She should be given the time she needs to settle in and gain security step by step. We are looking for a loving home or foster home for Hazel, where she can arrive in peace. People with time, empathy and understanding, who do not push her, but gently accompany her on her way. *We expressly point out that behavior in a new environment can change after some time. This should be taken into account with every adoption! Are you interested in Hazel? Then fill out our self-disclosure form.

Hündin – ca. 5 Jahre alt (Stand: Oktober 2026) – ca. 55 cm – bei Ausreise kastriert Herkunft Hazel wurde im Rahmen einer Rettungsaktion gemeinsam mit ihren Welpen aus dem Tierheim geholt. Zum Glück liegt dieser Teil ihres Lebens nun hinter ihr und sie befindet sich an einem sicheren Ort. Jetzt wünschen wir uns für Hazel, dass sie bald ihr eigenes Glück finden darf – bei Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Leben in Geborgenheit sein kann. Wesen Hazel zeigt sich Menschen gegenüber offen, ist dabei aber eher eine ruhige und vorsichtige Hündin. Sie scheint keine zu sein, die sich sofort in den Vordergrund drängt, sondern möchte die Dinge vermutlich lieber erst einmal in Ruhe beobachten. Auch wenn sie Menschen gegenüber aufgeschlossen ist, wird sie Zeit brauchen, um sich in ihrem neuen Leben in Deutschland zurechtzufinden. Eine fremde Umgebung, neue Geräusche und viele unbekannte Situationen können anfangs eine Herausforderung für sie sein. Deshalb sollte Hazel die Möglichkeit bekommen, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wir müssen davon ausgehen, dass Hazel das Laufen an der Leine noch nicht kennt und auch noch nicht stubenrein ist. Alltagsroutinen, das Leben im Haus und vieles, was für unsere Hunde selbstverständlich erscheint, muss sie möglicherweise erst kennenlernen. Dafür braucht sie Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis begegnen und keine zu hohen Erwartungen an sie stellen. Sie soll die Zeit bekommen, die sie benötigt, um sich einzuleben und Schritt für Schritt Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Für Hazel suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, in der sie in Ruhe ankommen darf. Menschen mit Zeit, Einfühlungsvermögen und Verständnis, die sie nicht drängen, sondern sie behutsam auf ihrem Weg begleiten. *Wir weisen ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass sich Verhaltensweisen in einem neuen Umfeld nach einiger Zeit ändern können. Dies sollte bei jeder Adoption berücksichtigt werden! Du interessierst dich für Hazel? Dann füll gleich unsere Selbstauskunft aus. Selbstauskunft Adoption Selbstauskunft Pflegestelle

About Hazel

What life with Hazel looks like

Hazel is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. in Germany (national, Bulgaria rescue focus).

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Kleine & große Pfoten 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 — Kleine & große Pfoten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hazel 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 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 Kleine & große Pfoten 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.
