Hedie

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around 2017 Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Temperament: Shy Size: Approximately 40 cm In shelter since: May 2021 Hello, dear friends, I am Hedie and somehow I feel a bit out of place here. Being confined like this is a bit unsettling, as I used to be able to make my own decisions, go my own way, and choose which dogs or people I wanted to meet or avoid. Now I have no choice and that unsettles me a little. I get along well with the other dogs, but I am still a bit reserved with the people here. So I need a little time to form my own opinion on whether I can trust the people here or not. But most of them do bring food, and that’s not so bad. The life on the streets has taught me to be a bit cautious at first and to take on the observer role. I am looking for people who will give me the time I need to settle in and help me become part of a family. Would you like to be that family for Hedie? If you are interested in Hedie, please fill out our application form or send us an email or message on Facebook. Hedie is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted for dogs over 12 months old before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. Christiane L. has taken on the sponsorship of Hedie and ensures that Hedie has a full bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: ca. 2017 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Charakter: schüchtern Größe: ca. 40 cm Im Shelter seit: Mai 2021 Hallo Ihr Lieben, ich bin Hedie und irgendwie fühle ich mich hier fehl am Platz. So hinter Schloss und Riegel zu sitzen, ist irgendwie ein wenig unheimlich, konnte ich doch vorher stets meine eigenen Entscheidungen treffen, eigene Wege gehen und selbst entscheiden, welchen Hunden oder Menschen ich begegnen wollte und welchen lieber nicht. Hier habe ich nun keine andere Wahl mehr und das verunsichert mich noch ein wenig. Mit den anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich zwar prima, doch bei den Menschen hier bin ich noch etwas zurückhaltend. Also brauche ich noch ein wenig Zeit, um mir meine eigene Meinung darüber zu bilden, ob man den Menschen hier vertrauen kann, oder nicht. Doch meist bringen sie Futter und das ist ja schonmal gar nicht so verkehrt. Doch wer weiß. Das Leben auf der Straße hat mich gelehrt, lieber anfangs etwas vorsichtig zu sein und die Beobachterrolle einzunehmen. Ich bin also auf der Suche nach Menschen, die mir die Zeit geben, die ich brauche und mich hier herausholen. Ein Platz, an dem ich meine Skepsis nach und nach ablegen kann und lernen werde, was es heißt, Teil einer Familie zu sein. Möchtet ihr diese Familie sein? Wenn Sie Interesse an Hedie haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Hedie ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Hedie hat Christiane L. übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Hedie

What life with Hedie looks like

Hedie is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Hedie, answered.

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