Lily

Mixed Breed · Female

Lily is a calm, intelligent, affectionate female dog who feels most comfortable when people are around her. Lily walks very well on a leash, loves search games, and has a lot of fun with light agility training. She has never had problems with other dogs. She also has hip problems, but they are not as pronounced as Milo's. Whether surgery is necessary will become clear in the next few months or years. She was found with Milo as a puppy and the two of them have lived together ever since, and this is not going to change in the future.

DE·Show original

Lily ist eine ruhige, intelligente, anhängliche Hündin, die sich am wohlsten fühlt, wenn Menschen um sie sind. Lily geht sehr gut an der Leine, liebt Suchspiele, hat großen Spaß an leichten Agilitytraining. Mit anderen Hunden gab es noch nie Probleme. Auch sie hat Probleme mit ihren Hüften, die aber nicht so ausgeprägt sind wie bei Milo. Ob eine OP vonnöten ist, wird sich in den nächsten Monaten oder Jahren zeigen. Sie wurde mit Milo als Welpin gefunden und beide lebten fortan zusammen, dass soll sich auch nicht in Zukunft ändern.

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Gelting in Geretsried.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Lily, answered.

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