Helen

German Shepherd · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Helen and Alice were brought to the shelter on Sardinia by the local police. They are shepherd mixes, two girls who are simply sweethearts. Unlike her sister, Helen has white fur around her muzzle, as if she had licked out the milk pot. She is open, without fears, and simply sweet. Of course, she is playful as is typical for her age, and she also has plenty of mischief in her head. We estimate her final size at 55-60 cm. For Helen, we are looking for a family or single person where she can settle in, where she will be encouraged, and where she can be a full member of the family. A first dog in the household is welcome. Children should be 10 years old and know how to handle animals. They should be aware that raising a puppy takes time and patience so that they grow into wonderful family dogs. Helen knows nothing and must be introduced to everything. Do you have questions about Helen? Then feel free to get in touch: Elke Schmitz info-fellfreunde. de All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated upon departure, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German state veterinary office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Helen und Alice wurden von der örtlichen Polizei im Tierheim auf Sardinien. Es sind Schäferhund-Mixe, zwei Mädchen, die einfach nur Zucker sind. Helen hat im Gegensatz zu ihrer Schwester eine weiße Fellfarbe um die Schnauze, als hätte sie aus dem Milchtopf geschleckt. Sie ist aufgeschlossen, ohne Ängste und einfach nur lieb. Natürlich ist sie alterstypisch verspielt und hat auch noch eine Menge Unsinn im Kopf. Wir schätzen ihre endgültige Größe auf 55-60 cm. Wir suchen für Helen eine Familie oder Einzelperson, wo sie ankommen kann, wo sie gefördert wird und wo sie ein vollständiges Familienmitglied sein darf. Gerne kann ein Ersthund im Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre sein und den Umgang mit Tieren kennen. Sie sollten sich darüber bewusst sein, dass die Erziehung eines Welpen Zeit und Geduld braucht, damit aus ihnen tolle Familienhunde werden. Helen kennt nichts und muss an alles herangeführt werden. Haben Sie Fragen zu Helen? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf: Elke Schmitz info-fellfreunde. de Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Helen

What life with Helen looks like

Helen is a large puppy german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Helen, answered.

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