How do I contact the shelter about Lancelot?

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

Can I adopt Lancelot if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Lancelot 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 Lancelot 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lancelot 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.

Adopt Lancelot

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born around 2019 Gender: male neutered: yes Temperament: reserved, very quiet, freezes up when approached Size: approx. 50 cm Time in shelter: since August 2021 Hello from afar! I should tell you a bit about myself. Well, as long as I can do it from a distance, I feel pretty comfortable. I've been living in this shelter for quite some time now. For me, that means I have a safe roof over my fur, a dry sleeping spot, and even food to not have to fight for every day. Also, I got along really well with my pretty and equally shy zinge companion. Probably because we shared the same fate and both had to orient ourselves anew. However, she set off for a new life in Germany a while ago and, according to rumors, won the hearts of her people there. I'm so happy for her, even though the goodbye was painful. For a long time, my life was probably a constant struggle for survival with many sad experiences. All of this has grown my skepticism towards humans, and I feel uncomfortable in their presence. When bipeds approach, I remain frozen in place and don't try to flee. I just don't know how to behave and whether I can trust them. Still, I so desperately wish for a foster home where I can experience a lot of love – even though it means a big step for me. I need people with dog experience who have patience, understand my insecurity, and give me time to slowly thaw out. A quiet home without children and with a secure, fenced-in yard would be ideal for my start into a new life. There, I could build trust at my own pace – and maybe someday show what a loyal soul I have inside me. If you're interested in Lancelot, please fill out our interest form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Lancelot is ready to travel and can go with the next transport to Germany. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Alexandra M. has taken the paternity for Lancelot and ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: ca. 2019 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: verschlossen, sehr ruhig, friert bei Annäherung ein Größe: ca. 50 cm Im Shelter seit: August 2021 Hallo aus der Ferne! Ich soll euch hier etwas über mich erzählen. Naja, solange ich das wenigstens auf Distanz machen kann, fühle ich mich einigermaßen wohl dabei. Ich lebe nun schon ein ganzes Weilchen in diesem Shelter. Das heißt für mich, ich habe ein sicheres Dach über dem Fell, einen trockenen Schlafplatz und sogar Futter, um das ich nicht jeden Tag kämpfen muss. Auch mit meiner hübschen und ebenfalls schüchternen Zwingergenossin verstand ich mich wirklich blendend. Vermutlich weil wir dasselbe Schicksal teilten und uns beide neu orientieren mussten. Vor einiger hat sie sich aber in ein neues Leben in Deutschland aufgemacht und dort Gerüchten zufolge die Herzen ihrer Menschen im Sturm erobert. Ich freue mich wahnsinnig für sie, auch wenn der Abschied schmerzte. Für längere Zeit war mein Leben wohl ein ständiger Überlebenskampf mit vermutlich vielen traurigen Erlebnissen. Das alles hat meine Skepsis gegenüber Menschen wachsen lassen und ich fühle mich in ihrer Gegenwart unwohl. Wenn sich Zweibeiner nähern, bleibe ich wie eingefroren auf der Stelle stehen und versuche nicht zu flüchten. Ich weiß einfach nicht, wie ich mich verhalten soll und ob ich ihnen vertrauen kann. Trotzdem wünsche ich mir so sehr ein geborgenes Zuhause, in dem ich viel Liebe erfahren darf – auch wenn es für mich einen großen Schritt bedeutet. Ich brauche hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Geduld haben, meine Unsicherheit verstehen und mir Zeit schenken, um langsam aufzutauen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und mit einem sicheren, eingezäunten Garten, wäre für meinen Start ins neue Leben ideal. Dort könnte ich in meinem Tempo Vertrauen fassen – und irgendwann vielleicht zeigen, welch treue Seele in mir steckt. Wenn Sie Interesse an Lancelot haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Lancelot ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Alexandra M. hat die Patenschaft für Lancelot übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Lancelot

What life with Lancelot looks like

Lancelot is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
