Ingrid

Mixed Breed · Female

Hello, I’m Sigrid! Are you looking for a loyal companion? Let me introduce myself—because behind me lies quite a turbulent past. Now, I’m more than ready to finally find my great happiness and a forever home. For a long time, I lived in a large dog group with our human. He meant well by us, but he was probably overwhelmed by all of us. He took good care of us, yet some things just didn’t get done properly. And when he could no longer be there for us, we were scattered among different animal shelters. A people-friendly dog through and through—I’m super open, cuddly, and delighted by every person who gives me attention and love. As a dream dog in the house, I’m calm, relaxed, and simply a pleasant roommate indoors. Cuddling is definitely one of my favorite activities. My little “chocolate side”—I’ll admit it: right now, I still have a few extra pounds. The buffet at my old home was probably a bit too lavish. But at the shelter, I’m already working hard on my paw fitness—combined with exercise and the right diet, it’ll certainly sort itself out! Right now, I don’t take easily to unfamiliar dogs. In my old pack, we all knew each other, which is why I still enjoy sharing my kennel with Ingrid. However, when I encounter unknown dogs outside or in everyday life, I quickly become restless and can even show it clearly. That’s when my little diva comes out. Most of all, I’d love to have my humans all to myself. That’s why I’m looking for people who can give me security, clear guidance, and patience. With the right support, I can learn to handle encounters with other dogs more calmly. I’d probably be happiest as an only princess in a quiet home where I can settle in at my own pace. If you’re excited about going for walks together, getting a bit of paw fitness, having lots of cuddles, and helping me feel safe when meeting other dogs, then we could make a really great team. Maybe you’re exactly the person I’ve been waiting for all along. I’m looking forward to getting to know you! If you’re interested, we’d love to receive a meaningful email with your phone number at .

Hallo, ich bin Ingrid! Suchst du eine treue Begleiterin? Ich stelle mich einfach mal selbst vor, denn hinter mir liegt eine ziemlich turbulente Zeit. Jetzt bin ich mehr als bereit, endlich mein großes Glück und mein Für-immer-Zuhause zu finden. Ich habe in einer großen Hundegruppe mit unserem Menschen gewohnt. Er hat es gut mit uns gemeint, war aber wohl doch mit uns allen überfordert. Er hat sich gut um uns gekümmert, dabei blieb aber so einiges liegen und nachdem er nicht mehr für uns da sein konnte haben sie uns auf verschiedene Tierheime verteilt. Menschenfreundin durch und durch Ich bin super aufgeschlossen, verschmust und freue mich über jeden Menschen, der mir Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe schenkt. Eine Traumhündin im Haus Drinnen bin ich ruhig, entspannt und einfach eine angenehme Mitbewohnerin. Kuscheln gehört definitiv zu meinen Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Meine kleine "Schokoladenseite" Ich gebe es zu: Im Moment habe ich noch ein paar Kilo zu viel auf den Rippen. Das Buffet in meinem alten Zuhause war wohl etwas zu üppig. Im Tierheim arbeite ich aber schon fleißig an meiner Pfoten-Fitness – mit Bewegung und der richtigen Ernährung wird das bestimmt! Mit fremden Hunden habe ich es momentan nicht so leicht. In meinem alten Rudel kannten wir uns alle, deshalb teile ich mir auch heute noch gerne den Zwinger mit Ingrid. Treffe ich draußen oder im Alltag jedoch auf unbekannte Hunde, reagiere ich schnell ungehalten und kann dabei auch deutlich werden. Da kommt wohl meine kleine Diva zum Vorschein. Am liebsten hätte ich meine Menschen ganz für mich allein. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mir Sicherheit, klare Führung und Geduld schenken. Mit der richtigen Unterstützung kann ich lernen, Hundebegegnungen entspannter zu meistern. Am glücklichsten wäre ich wahrscheinlich als Einzelprinzessin in einem ruhigen Zuhause, in dem ich in meinem Tempo ankommen darf. Wenn du Lust auf gemeinsame Spaziergänge, ein bisschen Pfoten-Fitness, ganz viele Kuscheleinheiten und mir bei Begegnungen mit anderen Hunden Sicherheit gibst, dann könnten wir ein richtig tolles Team werden. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich schon so lange warte. Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen! Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Email mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Ingrid

What life with Ingrid looks like

Ingrid is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Ingrid, answered.

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