Helen

German Shepherd · Female · Puppy · 6 months

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/kitten 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. 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 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
