09/2026 Hera, born around 2016, neutered, approx. 50 cm shoulder height. Currently in foster care in 57581 Katzwinkel Hera – a sweet old girl seeks her quiet happiness in the countryside The charming Hera, born in December 2016, currently lives in foster care in 57581 Katzwinkel and hopes to enjoy her golden years in a loving home. At around 9 years old, Hera is a calm, balanced and very pleasant female dog who appreciates a relaxed life. She is probably part Maremma/livestock guardian dog mix, which is reflected in her easygoing, independent nature. Hera is not fearful, walks well on the leash and enjoys leisurely walks as well as her long rest breaks. She gets along with other dogs but does not necessarily need them – she is also happy as a single dog. Cats should not live in the household. For Hera, we wish for a quiet, rural home, far from hustle and bustle. Small children would overwhelm her. She is happiest with a larger, securely fenced garden where she can move freely, lie in the sun and perhaps start a little digging project now and then. It is important that Hera wants to be part of the family and, of course, have access to the house at all times. During thunderstorms, loud bangs or noisy situations she shows insecurity and then needs people who give her security with calm, understanding and closeness. Whoever gives Hera such a home will gain a calm, loyal and grateful companion who simply wants to settle in and enjoy her life. If you can imagine giving Hera this place, we would be happy to hear from you with some information about yourself and your home. Perhaps she may spend her golden years right with you. ✔️ neutered ✔️ vaccinated ✔️ microchipped ✔️ with EU pet passport Die

09/2026 Hera, geboren ca. 2016, kastriert, ca. 50 cm Schulterhöhe Auf Pflegestelle in 57581 Katzwinkel Hera – liebe Hundeomi sucht ihr ruhiges Glück im Grünen Die charmante Hera, geboren im Dezember 2016, lebt aktuell auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 57581 Katzwinkel und hofft darauf, ihren Lebensabend in einem liebevollen Zuhause genießen zu dürfen. Mit ihren etwa 9 Jahren ist Hera eine ruhige, ausgeglichene und sehr angenehme Hündin, die das entspannte Leben zu schätzen weiß. Vermutlich steckt in ihr ein Herdenschutzhund-Mischling, was sich in ihrer gelassenen, eigenständigen Art widerspiegelt. Hera ist nicht ängstlich, läuft gut an der Leine und genießt gemütliche Spaziergänge ebenso wie ihre ausgedehnten Ruhepausen. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie verträglich, braucht diese aber nicht unbedingt – auch als Einzelhund fühlt sie sich wohl. Katzen sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Für Hera wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, ländliches Zuhause, fernab von Hektik und Trubel. Kleine Kinder würden sie überfordern. Am glücklichsten ist sie mit einem größeren, sicher eingezäunten Garten, in dem sie sich frei bewegen, in der Sonne liegen und auch mal ein kleines Buddelprojekt starten darf. Dabei ist wichtig: Hera möchte Teil der Familie sein und selbstverständlich jederzeit Zugang zum Haus haben. Bei Gewitter, Knallgeräuschen oder lauten Situationen zeigt sie sich unsicher und braucht dann Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe, Verständnis und Nähe Sicherheit geben. Wer Hera ein solches Zuhause schenkt, bekommt eine ruhige, treue und dankbare Begleiterin, die einfach nur ankommen und ihr Leben genießen möchte. Wenn du dir vorstellen kannst, Hera diesen Platz zu geben, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht mit ein paar Informationen zu dir und deinem Zuhause. Vielleicht darf sie ihren Lebensabend genau bei dir verbringen. ✔️ kastriert ✔️ geimpft ✔️ gechippt ✔️ mit EU-Heimtierausweis Die

About Hera

What life with Hera looks like

Hera is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Hera, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hera?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hera on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hera if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hera 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 Hera 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hera 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.
