How do I contact the shelter about LIZZY?

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

Can I adopt LIZZY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 LIZZY 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 LIZZY 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG early rather than rehoming privately; they know LIZZY 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 LIZZY

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Help LIZZY find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ Lizzy – Brave mom is finally seeking her late happiness after a life of deprivation LIZZY is an incredibly touching small female dog. Sometimes a look says more than a thousand words. In LIZZY's eyes, one reads a story of hard work, loss, and incredible strength. The small, 25 cm delicate female dog was discarded along with her three puppies. We were able to save the small family, but the youngest daughter sadly died shortly after. Now, at about 9 years old, LIZZY has fulfilled her duty more than adequately. She lovingly cared for her offspring, was patient and selfless. Now it's finally time for someone to take care of her. For LIZZY, we are looking for a quiet home without hustle and bustle, but full of love. She no longer needs big adventures. She dreams of a soft dog bed, regular meals, and people who show her that she is valuable - simply because she is there. Who will give this soul of a dog her well-deserved retirement? Pre-existing conditions as of 3/2026: Senior check with no findings. Heartworm positive grade 1. No microfilariae Origin:

About LIZZY

What life with LIZZY looks like

LIZZY is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

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.
