How do I contact the shelter about Hera?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Korfu 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 — Tierhilfe Korfu 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 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 Tierhilfe Korfu 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Hera

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Ref. No.: h-korfu-elena-hera-f-0122 January 2022: Hera was born around May 2020 and weighs about 25kg with an estimated shoulder height of 50cm. Her Mediterranean check was positive for heartworms, which is currently being treated. "I am the charming Hera - a real eye-catcher. How did I end up on this page? I did have a home, but I lived almost entirely chained up in the yard of the house, and the family doesn't want me anymore, even though I'm such a great dog. I like people – whether big or small." Elena, who lives in the same village as Hera's current owner, told us her story. Hera was adopted there as a puppy to guard the house. Nothing was done with her, no training, no attention. It's no surprise that Hera took every opportunity to escape and seek adventure. She is a young dog full of energy and completely under-challenged! Hera has also jumped over high fences and gone after chickens. Now she is condemned to spend her life on a chain - no one wants to train her or take her for walks. Additionally, the mentally ill neighbor has threatened to kill Hera. Elena wants to help Hera and urgently seeks a home for the pretty lady. She also takes Hera for walks from time to time. With the necessary patience, love, and consistency, Hera can certainly become a wonderful dog! She just needs the right people to guide her. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: h-korfu-elena-hera-f-0122 Januar 2022: Hera ist etwa im Mai 2020 geboren und wiegt um die 25kg bei geschätzten 50cm Schulterhöhe. Ihr Mittelmeercheck war positiv auf Herzwürmer, was derzeit behandelt wird. "Ich bin die bezaubernde Hera - ein echter Blickfang. Wie komme ich auf diese Seite? Ich hatte bisher zwar ein Zuhause, jedoch lebte ich dort fast nur an der Kette im Hof des Hauses und die Familie möchte mich nicht mehr, obwohl ich ein so toller Hund bin. Ich mag die Menschen – ob groß oder klein." Heras Geschichte wurde uns von Elena berichtet, die im gleichen Dorf wie Heras aktueller Besitzer wohnt. Hera wurde dort als Welpe adoptiert, um das Haus zu bewachen. Mit ihr wurde nichts gemacht, kein Training, keine Aufmerksamkeit. Wen wundert es da, dass Hera bei jeder Gelegenheit reißaus genommen und das Abenteuer gesucht hat. Sie ist ein junger Hund voller Energie und total unterfordert! Hera ist auch über hohe Zäune gesprungen und dann auf Hühnerjagd gegangen. Nun ist sie dazu verdonnert, ihr Leben an der Kette zu verbringen - man möchte nicht mit ihr trainieren und spazieren gehen auch nicht. Zudem hat der psychisch kranke Nachbar gedroht Hera umzubringen...Elena möchte Hera helfen und sucht dringend ein Zuhause für die hübsche Hundelady. Sie geht auch ab und an mit Hera spazieren. Hera kann mit der nötigen Geduld, Liebe und Konsequenz sicherlich ein ganz toller Hund werden! Ihr fehlen einfach nur die richtigen Hundemenschen, die sie anleiten. Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20210606 06 Hera Juni 2021 20210606 05 Hera Juni 2021

About Hera

What life with Hera looks like

Hera is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
