Hilda

Pug · Female · Young · 3 years

Hilda - A small cuddly mouse with a big opinion. Hilda is a 8 kg female dog who quickly wins hearts with her open and gentle nature. She loves attention and long cuddling sessions, without ever being pushy or intrusive. Instead, she enjoys her closeness to people calmly and relaxed. We can therefore imagine Hilda wonderfully in a family, also with small children who know how to treat dogs lovingly and respectfully. But don't underestimate our little lady! Because while she is a real cuddly mouse in direct contact with people, she shows a completely different side when on a leash outside. There Hilda has a lot to say and likes to share her opinion, regardless of how big her counterpart is. Therefore, leash training needs to be worked on so that future walks together become more relaxed. Basically, Hilda shows herself to be compatible with fellow dogs, although of course sympathy also plays a role for her. We wish Hilda a loving home where she can live out her cuddly needs and find people who work with her on her small construction sites. If you would like to take Hilda into your family, we look forward to a message by e-mail or a call during our

Hilda – Eine kleine Kuschelmaus mit großer Meinung. Hilda ist eine etwa 8 kg leichte Hündin, die mit ihrer offenen und sanften Art schnell die Herzen erobert. Sie liebt Aufmerksamkeit und ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten, ohne dabei jemals forsch oder aufdringlich zu werden. Stattdessen genießt sie ihre Nähe zu Menschen ganz ruhig und entspannt. Wir können uns Hilda deshalb wunderbar in einer Familie vorstellen, gerne auch mit kleinen Kindern, die einen liebevollen und respektvollen Umgang mit Hunden kennen. Doch unterschätzt unsere kleine Dame nicht! Denn während sie im direkten Umgang mit Menschen eine echte Kuschelmaus ist, zeigt sie sich draußen an der Leine von einer ganz anderen Seite. Dort hat Hilda durchaus viel zu sagen und teilt ihre Meinung auch gerne mit, völlig unabhängig davon, wie groß ihr Gegenüber ist. An der Leinenführung muss deshalb noch gearbeitet werden, damit gemeinsame Spaziergänge zukünftig entspannter werden. Grundsätzlich zeigt sich Hilda verträglich mit Artgenossen, wobei natürlich auch bei ihr die Sympathie eine gewisse Rolle spielt. Für Hilda wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ihre Kuschelbedürfnisse ausleben darf und Menschen findet, die mit ihr gemeinsam an ihren kleinen Baustellen arbeiten. Wenn ihr Hilda in eure Familie aufnehmen möchtet, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht per E-Mail oder einen Anruf während unserer

About Hilda

What life with Hilda looks like

Hilda is a small young adult pug dog waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Hilda, answered.

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