How do I contact the shelter about Kirlie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ratingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kirlie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kirlie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ratingen 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 Kirlie 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 Kirlie 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 Ratingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kirlie 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.

UPDATE: We no longer wish to assist Kirlie. Kirlie absolutely does not want to be with unknown people. If he doesn't show it clearly, he will also bite. Kirlie feels very comfortable with his current caretaker and their cohabitation is marked by mutual respect. We do not want to tear the little male dogs away from their familiar environment. Not least to prevent the handsome male dog from becoming a wandering cup. His beautiful appearance often leads people to ignore his difficult nature... at least until Kirlie becomes clear. We would have liked to rehome Kirlie, but primarily consider the well-being of the little Chihuahua. If you wish to support Kirlie, we are happy to receive a sponsorship. For example, for any veterinary costs (vaccination, tick prevention, deworming, etc.), dog tax, and anything else that may arise... // // // // // // // // //

About Kirlie

What life with Kirlie looks like

Kirlie is a adult dog waiting at Tierheim Ratingen in Ratingen.

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.
