Helena

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Max, Helena and Hanna are the last siblings of Puffboy, Shorty, Shiny, and Sunny, of which three have already found responsible homes and were able to visit us yesterday. They are all rather vocal, these little dwarfs. Wearing a collar and walking on a leash are still things they need to learn. Max, Helene, and Hanna are puppies whose upbringing, of course, will require a bit more time and patience.

Max, Helena und Hanna sind die letzten Geschwister von Puffboy, Shorty, Shiny und Sunny, von denen drei bereits ein verantwortungsvolles Zuhause gefunden haben, und durften gestern zu uns reisen. Vorlaut sind sie allesamt, die Zwerge. Das Tragen eines Geschirrs und das Laufen an der Leine, müssen sie noch lernen. Max, Helene und Hanna sind Junghunde, in deren Erziehung natürlich noch ein bisschen Zeit und Geduld zu investieren ist.

About Helena

What life with Helena looks like

Helena is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Helena, answered.

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