Adopt Lissy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Name: Lissy, born 2017, has been at the animal shelter Heinzelwinkl since 2018, Lissy is a very special lady dog who has been eagerly waiting for her own home for many years. She loves walks in nature, enjoys going for car rides, and can be quickly won over with treats. But Lissy needs time. Lots of time. She is very suspicious of strangers and cannot be easily acquainted with "just like that." However, if she gains trust, she shows her true heart: then she becomes the loyal cuddly cat that loves her person above all else. Lissy is a challenge – but a rewarding one. Whoever gives her the time to open her heart gets a lifelong loyal friend.

Wer ihr die Zeit gibt, ihr Herz zu öffnen, bekommt eine loyale Freundin fürs Leben.

About Lissy

What life with Lissy looks like

Lissy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Landshut in Landshut.

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 Lissy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lissy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Landshut 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 Landshut 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 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 Landshut 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.
