How do I contact the shelter about Helene?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hunderettung Europa e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Helene on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Helene if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hunderettung Europa 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 Helene 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 Helene 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 Hunderettung Europa e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Helene 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.

Helene

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Helene, a small female dog, is looking for a loving home. She was found on a construction site and accidentally hit by a car. The people on site brought her to the vet, but they couldn't afford the necessary surgery and treatment. The vets asked for our help, and after her surgery, Helene came to our shelter. More information about how dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal welfare FAQ. Helene is a friendly and easy-going dog. If we know more about her character, we will add this profile. You can still fill out a self-disclosure for this dog. Helene has been treated by a vet. She had a femoral head luxation and a hip fracture, which were surgically treated. Our placement team knows the exact health status best. If you have any questions, please write us a message. We are looking for people who can give Helene a loving home and the time to settle in. Due to her history, her new home should provide her with safety and security. We want people who are aware that rescue dogs bring a certain history with them. We can never predict how a dog will react to life in Germany at the shelter. That's why we are looking for people who have patience, perseverance, and goodwill. But one thing is certain: Whoever adopts instead of buying not only gives an animal a second chance, but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. Are you already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about an adoption, first read the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, de-fleaed, and neutered before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, please write our placement team a message.

Im Tierheim seit: Juli 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Juli 2023 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 30 – 39 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: ca. 5 – 9 kg Lerne hier Helene direkt im Video kennen! Die kleine Hündin Helene sucht ihre große Liebe! Helene lebte auf sich alleine gestellt auf einem Baugelände, bevor sie von einem Auto angefahren wurde. Die Menschen vor Ort brachten sie zum Tierarzt, konnten die notwendige Operation und Behandlung jedoch nicht finanzieren. Die Tierärzte baten uns um Hilfe, und nach ihrer Operation kam Helene in unser Tierheim. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Helene ist eine kleine Hündin, die sich im Tierheim als freundlich und gut umgänglich zeigt. Wenn wir mehr über den Charakter dieser Fellnase wissen, ergänzen wir dieses Profil. Natürlich kannst du trotzdem schon eine Selbstauskunft für diesen Hund ausfüllen. Helene wurde nach einem Unfall tierärztlich versorgt. Sie hatte eine Femurkopf-Luxation und eine Hüftfraktur, die operativ versorgt wurden. Nun erholt sich die kleine Fellnase bei uns. Über den genauen Gesundheitszustand weiß unser Vermittlungsteam am besten Bescheid. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreib uns gern eine Nachricht . Für Helene suchen wir Menschen, die ihr ein liebevolles Zuhause und die Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen. Aufgrund ihrer bisherigen Geschichte sollte ihr neues Zuhause ihr Sicherheit und Geborgenheit bieten. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Helene

What life with Helene looks like

Helene is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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.
