Hermine

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

My name is Hermine! Hermine is a young mixed-breed female dog, and at first she prefers to observe carefully from the background what is going on around her. She was surrendered as a found dog and shows herself with us to be incredibly sweet, gentle and friendly. Until Hermine truly thaws out, she needs a little time, and above all people who are willing to give her that time. Once she has gained trust, her playful side comes to the fore – she particularly enjoys being with other dogs and loves to romp around joyfully with her fellow canines. Since Hermine has not yet experienced much of the big wide world, there is still a lot for her to discover. Everyday things can still unsettle her at the moment. That is why we wish for her people who will patiently and lovingly show her how beautiful the world can be, and who always give her security and guidance along the way. Hermine doesn't have to rush anything. She may arrive in her own time, gain trust and grow step by step into a self-confident female dog. Anyone who gives her this time and lovingly catches her when she feels small insecurities will have a very special companion by their side in Hermine.

Mein Name ist Hermine! Hermine ist eine junge Mischlingshündin und schaut sich anfangs lieber erstmal vorsichtig aus dem Hintergrund an, was um sie herum so passiert. Sie wurde als Fundhund abgegeben und zeigt sich bei uns als unglaublich lieb, sanft und freundlich. Bis Hermine richtig auftaut, braucht es ein bisschen Zeit und vor allem Menschen, die ihr diese Zeit auch schenken. Hat sie Vertrauen gefasst, kommt ihre verspielte Seite zum Vorschein – besonders mit anderen Hunden hat sie viel Freude und tobt gerne ausgelassen mit ihren Artgenossen. Da Hermine noch nicht viel von der großen weiten Welt kennengelernt hat, gibt es für sie noch einiges zu entdecken. Alltägliche Dinge können sie momentan noch verunsichern. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie Menschen, die ihr geduldig und liebevoll zeigen, wie schön die Welt sein kann, und ihr dabei stets Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Hermine muss nichts überstürzen. Sie darf in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen, Vertrauen fassen und Schritt für Schritt zu einer selbstbewussten Hündin heranwachsen. Wer ihr diese Zeit schenkt und sie bei ihren kleinen Unsicherheiten liebevoll auffängt, bekommt mit Hermine eine ganz besondere Begleiterin an seine Seite.

About Hermine

What life with Hermine looks like

Hermine is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Hermine, answered.

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