Lissy

Dachshund · Female · Senior · 15 years

Lissy ist eine ältere, aber fitte Mischlingsdame, die etwas Zeit benötigt, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Sie kann sich bei fremden Personen je nach Situation in die Enge getrieben fühlen und könnte dann eventuell auch schnappen, um sich Raum zu verschaffen. Wir suchen deswegen für Lissy nach Menschen mit Fingerspitzengefühl und idealerweise etwas Hundeerfahrung. Kinder sollten schon älter sein, damit ein gewisses Verständnis für Lissys Bedürfnisse gegeben ist. In ihrem bisherigen Zuhause lebte Lissy mit 2 Katzen zusammen, daher können wir uns vorstellen, dass das auch im neuen Zuhause wieder klappt. Mit Hunden ist Lissy recht gut verträglich, natürlich immer je nach Sympathie. Sie scheint sich aber nicht so sehr für ihre Artgenossen zu interessieren und geht lieber ihre eigenen Wege. Vor einem Jahr soll es mal einen Beißvorfall mit einem anderen Hund gegeben haben. Die genauen Umstände sind uns aber nicht bekannt. Wenn Lissy genügend Zeit hat, um Vertrauen aufzubauen, dann wird sie für Ihre künftige Familie eine tolle kleine Begleiterin werden. Wenn Sie Interesse an einem unserer Hunde haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie der Hund bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Lissy

What life with Lissy looks like

Lissy is a senior dachshund dog waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lissy, answered.

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