Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

08/2026 Irmi, born approx. 2024, neutered, approx. 30 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 07/2026. In foster care in 45701 Herten Irmi is currently living with her foster family in 45701 Herten, waiting there for her people. This small, lovable female dog was born in August 2024 and, at about 30 cm shoulder height and just under 9 kg, is a handy companion with a very special charm. In everyday life, Irmi is pleasantly uncomplicated, friendly, and easygoing. She is already house-trained and gets along well with other dogs. She would surely enjoy having a friendly canine buddy by her side and would take her cues from him, so a second dog is a requirement for Irmi in her new home. Cats, on the other hand, should not be present. A home with children is also conceivable for Irmi. However, because of her size, we would like children from about 10 years old who can treat her with calm and consideration. Despite her delicate size, Irmi is a real powerhouse, which should be taken into account. One small peculiarity should be considered in Irmi's future living situation: her little legs are slightly bowed. A ground-floor home or a living situation with as few stairs as possible would therefore be ideal for her. That way she can enjoy her daily life in a manner that is gentle on her joints and relaxed. Irmi wishes for people who give her security, comfort, and a permanent place in life. She is enthusiastic about every adventure and above all wants to belong, to be loved, and to enjoy everyday life together with her people. Anyone who gets to know Irmi will quickly realize that behind her small size lies a very special dog personality. Perhaps this little heart-dog is just waiting to finally arrive with her people. ❤️ Irmi's key facts: born: August 2024 approx. 30 cm shoulder height approx. 9 kg house-trained compatible with other dogs children from approx. 10 years old second dog is a requirement ideally a ground-floor home or few stairs vaccinated microchipped neutered EU pet passport Foster placement: 45701 Herten

08/2026 Irmi, geboren ca. 2024, kastriert, ca. 30 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 07/2026 Auf Pflegestelle in 45701 Herten Irmi lebt aktuell auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 45701 Herten und wartet dort auf ihre Menschen. Die kleine, liebenswerte Hündin wurde im August 2024 geboren und ist mit ihren etwa 30 cm Schulterhöhe und knapp 9 kg eine handliche Begleiterin mit ganz besonderem Charme. Im Alltag zeigt sich Irmi angenehm unkompliziert, freundlich und verträglich. Sie ist bereits stubenrein und versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden. Über einen freundlichen Hundekumpel an ihrer Seite würde sie sich sicherlich freuen und sich an ihm orientieren, deshalb ist ein Zweithund für Irmi eine Voraussetzung in ihrem neuen Zuhause. Katzen hingegen sollten nicht vorhanden sein. Auch ein Zuhause mit Kindern ist für Irmi gut vorstellbar. Aufgrund ihrer Größe wünschen wir uns jedoch Kinder ab etwa 10 Jahren, die ihr mit Ruhe und Rücksicht begegnen können. Irmi ist trotz ihrer zarten Größe ein echtes Power-Paket, was berücksichtigt werden sollte. Eine kleine Besonderheit sollte bei Irmis zukünftiger Wohnsituation berücksichtigt werden: Ihre Beinchen sind leicht krumm. Deshalb wäre ein ebenerdiges Zuhause oder eine Wohnsituation mit möglichst wenigen Treppen ideal für sie. So kann sie ihren Alltag möglichst gelenkschonend und entspannt genießen. Irmi wünscht sich Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und einen festen Platz im Leben schenken. Sie ist für jedes Abenteuer zu begeistern und möchte vor allem dazugehören, geliebt werden und gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen ihren Alltag genießen. Wer Irmi kennenlernt, wird schnell merken, dass hinter ihrer kleinen Größe eine ganz besondere Hundepersönlichkeit steckt. Vielleicht wartet genau diese kleine Herzenshündin schon darauf, bei ihren Menschen endlich anzukommen. ❤️ Irmis Eckdaten: geboren: August 2024 ca. 30 cm Schulterhöhe ca. 9 kg stubenrein verträglich mit anderen Hunden Kinder ab ca. 10 Jahren Zweithund ist Voraussetzung möglichst ebenerdiges Zuhause bzw. wenige Treppen geimpft gechippt kastriert EU-Heimtierausweis Pflegestelle: 45701 Herten Die

About Irmi

What life with Irmi looks like

Irmi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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 Irmi, answered.

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