Holly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Holly (born July 2021) is a charming little female dog that immediately stands out due to her different ears - one erect and one floppy. She has been living in a foster home in Lübeck since the end of October and is starting to get to know her new life there. Initially, she was gentle and reserved, but she is becoming bolder and more curious by the day. Holly is initially a bit cautious with strangers, but once you've said hello to her, she usually quickly warms up and shows her cuddly side. She enjoys the closeness of her humans and is increasingly open to her environment. Holly gets along great with other dogs. She lives harmoniously with several four-legged friends in her foster home. She has also mastered her first walks on a leash. She is still gathering many new impressions and is allowed to gain security at her own pace. We wish Holly a loving home where she can arrive and further develop her friendly, affectionate nature. People who give her some time and patiently accompany her at the beginning will find her a wonderful little companion. Holly is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-check. Wearing a safety harness is necessary when picking up the dog. A 3-strap safety harness can be purchased for just €25.

Holly (geb. 07/2021) ist eine ganz bezaubernde kleine Hündin, die mit ihren unterschiedlichen Ohren – einem Stehohr und einem Schlappohr – sofort auffällt. Seit Ende Oktober lebt sie auf einer Pflegestelle in Lübeck und beginnt dort, ihr neues Leben kennenzulernen.Anfangs zeigte sie sich noch sanft und zurückhaltend, doch inzwischen wird sie von Tag zu Tag mutiger und neugieriger. Bei ersten Begegnungen mit fremden Menschen ist Holly zunächst etwas vorsichtig. Hat man ihr aber erst einmal freundlich Hallo gesagt, taut sie meist schnell auf und zeigt ihre kuschelige Seite. Sie genießt die Nähe ihrer Menschen und begegnet ihrer Umwelt zunehmend aufgeschlossen.Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Holly prima. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle lebt sie harmonisch mit mehreren Vierbeinern zusammen. Auch ihre ersten Spaziergänge an der Leine hat sie inzwischen gemeistert. Dabei sammelt sie noch viele neue Eindrücke und darf weiterhin in ihrem eigenen Tempo Sicherheit gewinnen.Für Holly wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen und ihre freundliche, verschmuste Art weiter entfalten kann. Menschen, die ihr gerade zu Beginn etwas Zeit geben und sie geduldig begleiten, werden in ihr eine wunderbare kleine Begleiterin finden.Holly ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung der Hündin notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3-Riemen-Sicherheitsgeschirr) kann für nur 25 € mit erworben werden.

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 Holly, answered.

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