Hedi 🐕

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

I sit in a kennel at the animal shelter. Behind bars. And as much as I crave human companionship, I get so little of it. 😔🐾 Yet I have so much love to give. I am a friendly, very people-oriented dog and yearn for closeness and affection. When someone comes to me, I am overjoyed. I adore petting and would love to be right up close to my human and just cuddle. 🥺❤️ And when I'm not hoping for pets, I have another little passion: catching flies! 😂🪰 As soon as one buzzes by me, I'm wide awake - I just can't resist. I want a person who pets me, takes me for walks and shows me the world. A place where I can snuggle up. A special bed. A home. 🏡❤️ I am so people-oriented and friendly - and yet I have to spend every day behind bars. Maybe you are the person who will finally give me the life I so desperately desire. A life outside the kennel. A life full of closeness. A life where I am loved. My life could have ended very differently. I was rescued from the street along with five other dogs, which leads to the animal shelter. The Ecosal animal catchers were already on the scene and had already taken two other dogs from the same area. 😔 Carmen didn't want to wait until we fell into their hands. So she brought our little group to the animal shelter and initially brought us to safety. ❤️ But safety alone is not a home.

Ich sitze im Tierheim in einem Käfig. Hinter Gittern. Und so gerne ich die Nähe zu Menschen habe, so wenig kann ich davon bekommen. 😔🐾 Dabei hätte ich so viel Liebe zu verschenken. Ich bin eine freundliche, sehr menschenbezogene Hündin und sehne mich so sehr nach Nähe und Zuwendung. Wenn jemand zu mir kommt, freue ich mich riesig. Ich liebe Streicheleinheiten und würde am liebsten ganz nah bei meinem Menschen sein und einfach nur kuscheln. 🥺❤️ Und wenn ich gerade nicht auf Streicheleinheiten hoffe, habe ich noch eine kleine Leidenschaft: Fliegen fangen! 😂🪰 Sobald eine an mir vorbeisummt, bin ich hellwach – da kann ich einfach nicht widerstehen. Ich möchte einen Menschen haben, der mich streichelt, mit mir spazieren geht und mir die Welt zeigt. Einen Platz, an dem ich mich einkuscheln darf. Ein eigenes Körbchen. Ein Zuhause. 🏡❤️ Ich bin so menschenbezogen und freundlich – und trotzdem muss ich jeden Tag hinter Gittern verbringen. Vielleicht bist du der Mensch, der mir endlich das Leben schenkt, das ich mir so sehr wünsche. Ein Leben außerhalb des Käfigs. Ein Leben voller Nähe. Ein Leben, in dem ich geliebt werde Mein Leben hätte sogar ganz anders enden können. Ich wurde gemeinsam mit fünf weiteren Hunden von der Straße gerettet, die zum Tierheim führt. Die Hundefänger von Ecosal waren bereits vor Ort und hatten schon zwei andere Hunde aus derselben Gegend mitgenommen. 😔 Carmen wollte nicht warten, bis auch wir in ihre Hände geraten. Deshalb holte sie unsere kleine Gruppe zu sich ins Tierheim und brachte uns damit zunächst in Sicherheit. ❤️ Doch Sicherheit allein ist noch kein Zuhause.

About Hedi 🐕

What life with Hedi 🐕 looks like

Hedi 🐕 is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hedi 🐕, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hedi 🐕?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. 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 — Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 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 Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. 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.
