Issy

Mixed Breed · Female

Issy is an initially very reserved, shy female dog with a charming, lovable character. She needs some time to adjust, but then she gradually enjoys her cuddles. Since the loving female dog hasn't been able to learn much so far, she still needs some help with the basics of dog training. She gets along well with her fellow animals and behaves well in the car. Issy needs a quiet home with understanding people who give her enough time to settle in and have the patience to gradually teach her the necessary confidence. A big thank you to the dog groomer 4Pfoten Fr. Wiegel in Markt Erlbach. She really likes our work and therefore gave Issy a beautiful grooming for free. The female dog felt so sorry for her previous condition and couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't ask for anything for her efforts. Many thanks, Frau Wiegel!

DE·Show original

Issy ist ein anfänglich sehr zurückhaltendes, schüchternes Hundemädel mit einem bezaubernden, liebenswerten Wesen. Sie braucht eine gewisse Eingewöhnungszeit, genießt dann aber zusehends ihre Streicheleinheiten. Nachdem die liebe Hündin bisher nicht allzu viel lernen durfte, benötigt sie noch etwas Nachhilfe im Hunde-Einmaleins. Sie versteht sich mit ihren Artgenossen und fährt brav im Auto mit. Issy benötigt ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einfühlsamen Menschen, die ihr genügend Zeit geben um anzukommen und die Geduld haben, ihr Schritt für Schritt, die nötige Sicherheit zu vermitteln. Ein großes Dankschön an die Hundefriseurin 4Pfoten Fr. Wiegel in Markt Erlbach . Sie findet unsere Arbeit so klasse und hat deshalb unentgeltlich Issy richtig schön gemacht. Ihr hat die Hündin in ihrem vorherigen Zustand so leid getan und konnte sich die Träne nicht verkneifen. Sie hat nichts für Ihre Mühe verlangt. Vielen Dank Frau Wiegel!

About Issy

What life with Issy looks like

Issy is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Issy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Issy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Issy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Issy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Issy 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 Issy 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Issy 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.
