Adopt Holly

Female · Adult · 4 years

I am Holly … a sweet, loving female dog on the lookout for true happiness. At first, I'm quite shy around strangers, especially men. I'm generally quite insecure – even small noises can startle me. Otherwise, I'm a sweet little whirlwind with lots of energy and a longing for closeness with my people. Strangers' dogs are not mine, and I would bond with them. So, I would like to be an only princess. I wish for … a dog-experienced home that takes me in and gives me security. Children living in the household should be at least twelve years old and well-behaved. My home needs to be in a relatively quiet area (suburb/countryside). Could I perhaps enrich your life?. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Ich bin Holly … eine süße, liebe Hündin auf der Suche nach dem großen Glück. Das bin ich: Anfangs bin ich noch ganz schön ängstlich bei Fremden, vor allem Männern. Auch generell bin ich recht unsicher – schon kleine Geräusche können mich schnell erschrecken. Ansonsten bin ich aber ein lieber, kleiner Wirbelwind mit viel Energie und Sehnsucht nach Nähe zu meinen Menschen. Andere Hunde sind nicht so meins, die verbelle ich. Ich möchte also Einzelprinzessin sein. Ich wünsche mir … ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, das sich auf mich einlässt und mir Sicherheit gibt. Im Haushalt lebende Kinder sollten mindestens zwölf Jahre und verständig sein. Mein Zuhause muss in einer eher ruhigen Gegend liegen (Stadtrand/ländlicher). Darf ich vielleicht dein/euer Leben bereichern? Melde dich bei Interesse über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Benji-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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.

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. Tierheim Berlin 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 — Tierheim Berlin 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 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 Tierheim Berlin 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
