Adopt Letty

English Bulldog · Female · Senior · 9 years

Letty was surrendered because the owner was overwhelmed with the female dog. Letty is currently staying at a foster home. Sponsors wanted! The female dog seems to have had little experience and no boundaries set by her previous owners. From the first day, the female dog shows an increased aggression towards children, cyclists, joggers, skaters, other dogs, and other animals (pronounced and partially misdirected hunting behavior). The female dog even attempts to attack baby strollers when baby sounds are heard. The female dog was classified as dangerous and must be led on a leash and muzzled in public. Additionally, she had to undergo a behavioral assessment. Through working with Letty, some behavioral issues have improved. However, depending on the strength of the external stimulus, the female dog often falls back into her old patterns. We are looking for very experienced and responsible dog owners for Letty. This dog has a prey drive.

Letty wurde abgegeben, weil der Halter mit der Hündin überfordert gewesen ist.Letty befindet sich zur Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle. Paten gesucht! Letty scheint bei ihren Vorbesitzern nur wenig Erfahrungen gemacht und auch keine Grenzen gesetzt bekommen zu haben. Die Hündin zeigt vom ersten Tag an eine gesteigerte Aggressivität gegenüber Kindern, Radfahrern, Joggern, Skatern, anderen Hunden und anderen Tieren (ausgeprägtes und teilweise fehlgesteuertes Jagdverhalten). Letty versucht sogar Kinderwagen zu attackieren, wenn aus diesem Geräusche eines Babys zu hören sind. Die Hündin wurde aufgrund dessen gefährlich eingestuft und muss in der Öffentlichkeit mit Maulkorb und an kurzer Leine geführt werden. Außerdem musste sie einen Wesenstest ablegen. Durch die Arbeit mit Letty haben sich manche Verhaltensweisen teilweise verbessert. Je nach Stärke des Außenreizes, fällt die Hündin aber immer wieder in ihre alten Muster zurück. Wir suchen sehr erfahrene und verantwortungsbewusste Hundehalter für Letty.

About Letty

What life with Letty looks like

Letty is a senior english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Braunschweig in Braunschweig.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Letty, answered.

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