How do I contact the shelter about Hedi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hedi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hedi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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 Hedi 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 Hedi 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 Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hedi 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 Hedi

Maltese · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Origin: Linares (Andalusia) Location: Linares (Andalusia) Size / Weight: approx. 27 cm shoulder height at approx. 3.8 kg Additional information: neutered, microchipped with EU passport, vaccinated and tested for Mediterranean diseases Character: reserved, shy, active, compatible with other dogs New home: patience, time, no expectations, fenced garden, no small children, only dog Adoption fee: 490 euros including transport costs to Germany This poor little mouse is our Hedi who was rescued in a deplorable condition from a breeder with the help of a "ticket from hell" and has now arrived at our shelter. She was used as a breeding dog (which has nothing to do with a serious breeding program, because the dogs are simply used to generate puppies). These dogs know nothing of a normal dog life, but are kept as "goods" and receive only the necessary affection so they can be used for the bad business of dog breeding. Hedi should now leave all that behind and start on the way to a beautiful new life. During the initial examination at our shelter, old bite wounds were found. These have already healed well and the coat is growing back nicely. We wish for Hedi a family that has no expectations of her, because we simply don't know what she can do in daily life and what she still needs to learn. Often it's very helpful for the dogs if there is already a confident dog in the new home who can show her everything at first. If you have few requirements, lots of time, patience and a big heart for Hedi, then contact us, because she could soon go to Germany completely vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and tested for Mediterranean diseases. If picking up in Northern Bavaria is not a problem for you, we look forward to your meaningful inquiry.

Dieses arme Mäuschen ist unsere Hedi die, mit Hilfe eines "Tickets aus der Hölle", in desolatem Zustand von einem Vermehrer gerettet werden konnte und nun in unserer Auffangstation angekommen ist. Eingesetzt wurde sie als Zuchthündin (die mit einer seriösen Zucht nichts zu tun hat, denn die Hunde werden einfach nur zum Generieren von Welpen eingesetzt). Diese Hunde kennen kein normales Hundeleben, sondern werden als „Ware“ Hund gehalten und erhielten nur die notwendige Zuwendung damit sie für das miese Geschäft der Hundevermehrung eingesetzt werden können. Das soll Hedi nun alles hinter sich lassen und von hier an soll sie auf den Weg zu einem schönen neuen Leben gebracht werden. Bei der Erstuntersuchung in unserer Auffangstation, kamen alte Bissverletzungen zum Vorschein. Diese sind bereits gut verheilt und das Fell wächst schön nach. Wir wünschen uns für Hedi eine Familie die keine Erwartungen an sie hat, denn wir wissen einfach nicht was sie im Alltag alles kann und was sie alles noch lernen muss. Oftmals ist es für die Hunde eine große Hilfe, wenn sich im neuen Zuhause bereits ein souveräner Hund befindet der ihr erstmal alles zeigen kann. Falls Sie wenige Anforderungen, viel Zeit, Geduld und ein großes Herz für Hedi haben, dann melden sie sich bei uns, denn sie könnte schon bald komplett geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet nach Deutschland ausreisen. Sofern eine Abholung in Nordbayern für Sie kein Problem ist, freuen wir uns über ihre aussagekräftige Anfrage.

About Hedi

What life with Hedi looks like

Hedi is a large puppy/kitten maltese dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
