How do I contact the shelter about Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Köln handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Köln 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 Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof) 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 Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof) 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 Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof) 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.

Lucy (imb bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof)

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Senior · 9 years

Lucy, a Jack Russell terrier, came into our care along with her canine companion Benji after the loss of their beloved owner. Lucy quickly proved to be an exceptionally friendly and outgoing dog. She greets all people warmly and openly and gets along well with other dogs. Therefore, she can be rehomed as a single dog or paired with an existing friendly dog.Despite her age and some extra weight, Lucy is a cheerful and active dog who enjoys exercise and still wants to enjoy many more walks. A gentle weight loss will help Lucy enjoy her twilight years in good health, mobility, and with lots of life energy. We are looking for loving people who enjoy activities together and can give her the necessary time and support on her journey to a healthy weight. Particularly active seniors could be a great match for this charming terrier lady. Who will give our lively Lucy another loving home? If you're interested in Lucy, please contact our bmt animal shelter Eifelhof.Eifelhof FrankenauFrankenau 153506 Heckenbach 0 26 47 / 33 75

Jack-Russell-Hündin Lucy kam gemeinsam mit ihrem Hundekumpel Benji in unsere Obhut, nachdem ihr geliebtes Frauchen leider verstorben ist. Lucy hat sich bei uns schnell als ausgesprochen freundliche und offene Hündin gezeigt. Sie begegnet allen Menschen herzlich und aufgeschlossen und versteht sich auch mit anderen Hunden. Deshalb kann sie sowohl als Einzelhund als auch zu einem bereits vorhandenen, netten Hund vermittelt werden.Trotz ihres Alters und einiger Kilos zu viel ist Lucy eine fröhliche und aktive Hündin, die sich gerne bewegt und noch viele schöne Spaziergänge genießen möchte. Eine behutsame Gewichtsreduktion wird dazu beitragen, dass Lucy ihren Lebensabend möglichst gesund, mobil und mit viel Lebensfreude genießen kann. Für Lucy wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen, die Freude an gemeinsamen Unternehmungen haben und ihr gleichzeitig die nötige Zeit und Unterstützung auf dem Weg zur Wunschfigur geben. Besonders rüstige Senioren könnten gut zu der charmanten Terrier-Dame passen. Wer schenkt unserer lebensfrohen Lucy noch einmal ein liebevolles Zuhause?
