Imke

Dachshund · Female · Young · 3 years

Imke was found in a poor neighborhood in Hungary. Unfortunately, we do not know what her life was like before. Today, the lovable female dog is waiting on our foster home for puppies and young dogs in Hungary for her own people and a fresh start. Imke is a loving and open-minded dog who is friendly to humans. She seeks contact, enjoys being spoken to and stroked, and shows herself curious and interested in her surroundings. Sometimes she still behaves a bit submissive. Imke is a nice, approachable little dog who will certainly gain more self-confidence once she arrives in her new home. She brings a nice dose of curiosity with her. She wants to explore her surroundings, learn new things and certainly experience a lot with her future people. What brings her the most joy is yet to be discovered. Of course, Imke still has a lot to learn. The dog ABC, everyday routines and everything that belongs to a life as a family dog are still on her curriculum. She gets along well with her fellow dogs and lives mainly with puppies and young dogs on her foster home. We are looking for a loving home for Imke with people who enjoy engaging with their dog, trying new things together and finding out what she enjoys most. People who promote and challenge her, give her security. With her friendly and open-minded nature, we can imagine Imke in almost any suitable environment. Whether city, suburban or rural - we believe she will settle in well and find her way with the right accompaniment.

Imke wurde in einem Armenviertel in Ungarn gefunden. Wie ihr bisheriges Leben aussah, wissen wir leider nicht. Heute wartet die liebenswerte Hündin auf unserer Pflegestelle für Welpen und Junghunde in Ungarn auf ihre eigenen Menschen und einen Neustart.Imke ist eine liebe und aufgeschlossene Hündin, die uns Menschen freundlich begegnet. Sie sucht den Kontakt, freut sich über Ansprache und Streicheleinheiten und zeigt sich neugierig und interessiert an ihrer Umgebung. Manchmal verhält sie sich noch ein wenig unterwürfig. Vielmehr ist Imke ein nettes, zugängliches Hundemädchen, das sicherlich noch etwas an Selbstvertrauen gewinnen wird, wenn sie erst einmal in ihrem neuen Zuhause angekommen ist. Dabei bringt Imke eine schöne Portion Neugier mit. Sie möchte ihre Umgebung erkunden, Neues kennenlernen und sicherlich noch einiges mit ihren zukünftigen Menschen erleben. Was genau ihr besonders viel Freude bereitet, gilt es noch herauszufinden. Natürlich muss auch Imke noch einiges lernen. Das Hunde-ABC, Alltagsroutinen und alles, was zu einem Leben als Familienhund dazugehört, stehen noch auf ihrem Stundenplan. Mit ihren Artgenossen zeigt sie sich verträglich und lebt auf ihrer Pflegestelle hauptsächlich mit Welpen und Junghunden zusammen. Für Imke suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude daran haben, sich mit ihrem Hund zu beschäftigen, gemeinsam Neues auszuprobieren und herauszufinden, woran sie besonders viel Spaß hat. Menschen, die sie fördern und fordern, ihr Sicherheit vermitteln. Mit ihrer freundlichen und aufgeschlossenen Art können wir uns Imke in nahezu jedem passenden Umfeld vorstellen. Ob Stadt, Stadtrand oder ländlich – wir glauben, dass sie sich mit der richtigen Begleitung gut einleben und zurechtfinden wird.

About Imke

What life with Imke looks like

Imke is a small young adult dachshund dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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 Imke, answered.

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