MINNIE

Chihuahua · Female · Young · 2 years

MINNE is just 25 cm small. Dog catchers brought the tiny female dog to the killing center - a place where she now almost disappears among all the other dogs. MINNIE is a friendly little dog and gets along with her fellow dogs. ❤️ We don't want to let her be overlooked and forgotten there. That's why we urgently need a rescue sponsor and especially people who want to give MINNIE a loving forever home. MINNIE needs a rescue sponsorship of €250.00 for her departure. More information can be found at the end of the text or on the association's homepage: seelentiere.org/ihre-unterstuetzung/patenschaften/ MINNIE could leave as early as October 24, 2026 - maybe at the end of this journey not only freedom awaits her, but finally her own bed and people with whom she will never be lost among many others again. MINNIE may only be 25 cm small - but her desire for a safe life is huge. Who can fulfill this wish for her? Your mediator Harald Merkel is looking forward to your inquiry at 61 or by email to h.merkel.org You can also apply directly via our self-disclosure, which you can find here: www.seelentiere.org/vermittlung/selbstauskunft (Copy the link and paste it in a new window). MINNIE will be spayed, fully vaccinated, dewormed and chipped with an EU pet passport after a positive pre-check for a fee of €500.00. A 4DX-Snaptest for Mediterranean diseases will be carried out before departure. MINNIE will not be given up for kennel or outdoor housing, of course. Rescue sponsorship: With a rescue sponsorship of €250.00, all costs for the preparation for the

MINNIE ist eine kleine, freundliche Hündin, die derzeit auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle in 95032 Hof lebt. Dort teilt sie ihren Alltag mit anderen Hunden und zeigt sich verträglich mit ihren Artgenossen. Für MINNIE suchen wir Menschen mit Empathie, Einfühlungsvermögen und der nötigen Geduld für einen Hund aus dem Auslandstierschutz. Menschen, die verstehen, dass ein Hund Zeit braucht, um in einem neuen Zuhause anzukommen, Vertrauen aufzubauen und sich an einen völlig neuen Alltag zu gewöhnen. MINNIE soll die Möglichkeit bekommen, alles in ihrem eigenen Tempo kennenzulernen - ohne Druck, dafür mit viel Liebe, Verständnis und Sicherheit. Auch ein kleiner Hund hat große Bedürfnisse und verdient Respekt, Beschäftigung, schöne Spaziergänge und einen festen Platz in seiner Familie. Wer schenkt Minnie ein Körbchen für immer? Ihr Vermittler Harald Merkel freut sich auf Ihre Anfrage unter 61 oder per Email an h. merkel. org Bewerben können Sie sich auch direkt über unsere Selbstauskunft, die Sie hier finden: www. seelentiere. org/vermittlung/selbstauskunft (Link kopieren und in neuem Fenster einfügen). MINNIE wird kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt mit einem EU-Heimtierpass nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen Schutzgebühr in Höhe von € 500,00 vermittelt. Ein Snap 4DX Test (Herzwurm, Lyme-Borreliose, Ehrlichiose und Anaplasmose) wurde vor Ausreise durchgeführt. In Zwinger- oder Außenhaltung wird MINNIE selbstverständlich nicht abgegeben. MINNIE kann nach vorheriger Absprache auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 95032 Hof persönlich kennengelernt werden.

About MINNIE

What life with MINNIE looks like

MINNIE is a small young adult chihuahua dog waiting at Seelentiere e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 MINNIE, answered.

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