Irene

Mixed Breed · Female

Irene 05/2022 | female Hello, I'm Irene! I am a very shy dog and I just have to learn that nobody here wants to hurt me. Everyday life with all its noises, people and new situations is still quite exciting and sometimes even scary for me. That's why I need one thing now: time. Time to arrive, gain trust and become bolder step by step. The team at Schlatthof accompanies me in this and gives me exactly the space I need. At the moment I am not yet ready for a home of my own and will not be placed yet. Only when I have really arrived here and gained more security, we will think about the next step together.

Irene 05/2022 | weiblich Hallo, ich bin Irene! Ich bin eine sehr schüchterne Hündin und muss gerade erst lernen, dass mir hier niemand etwas Böses möchte. Der Alltag mit all seinen Geräuschen, Menschen und neuen Situationen ist für mich noch ziemlich aufregend und manchmal auch beängstigend. Deshalb brauche ich jetzt vor allem eins: Zeit. Zeit, um anzukommen, Vertrauen zu fassen und Schritt für Schritt mutiger zu werden. Das Team auf dem Schlatthof begleitet mich dabei und gibt mir genau den Raum, den ich brauche. Im Moment bin ich deshalb noch nicht bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause und werde noch nicht vermittelt. Erst wenn ich hier richtig angekommen bin und mehr Sicherheit gewonnen habe, denken wir gemeinsam über den nächsten Schritt nach. Hier Anfrage senden

About Irene

What life with Irene looks like

Irene is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Menschen für Tiere in Oberndorf a.N..

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 Irene, answered.

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