Hilde

Female

// Hilde ist eine etwa 10 Jahre alte Hündin, die gemeinsam mit Bigfoot als Fundhund zu uns kam. Da beide am selben Ort aufgefunden wurden, vermuten wir, dass sie zusammengehören und möglicherweise ausgesetzt wurden. Was tatsächlich passiert ist, wissen wir leider nicht. Als Hilde zu uns kam, befand sie sich in einem absolut verwahrlosten Zustand. Ihr Fell war bis auf die Haut verfilzt und auch gesundheitlich brachte sie einige Baustellen mit. Unter anderem wurde bei ihr eine Gebärmuttervereiterung festgestellt, die operativ behandelt werden musste. Die Operation hat sie gut überstanden und inzwischen geht es ihr deutlich besser. Rassebedingt hat Hilde Probleme mit den Augen und benötigt dauerhaft pflegende Augentropfen. Das lässt sich bei uns bisher problemlos managen. Bei ihrer

About Hilde

What life with Hilde looks like

Hilde is an adult dog waiting at Tierheim Eisenberg / Tierschutzverein Saale-Holzland-Kreis in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Hilde, answered.

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