Missy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 14 years

anfangs etwas schüchtern, sehr lieb und freundlich Über Missy Die Bichon-Malteser-Hündin Missy kam gemeinsam mit neun weiteren Hunden nach einer Beschlagnahmung zu uns ins Tierheim. In ihrem bisherigen Leben lernte sie leider kaum etwas kennen und wurde lediglich zum Vermehren gehalten. Trotz ihrer Vergangenheit zeigt sich Missy bereits aufgeweckt, genießt Spaziergänge und sucht gerne die Nähe zum Menschen. Zurzeit wird sie liebevoll aufgepäppelt und entdeckt Schritt für Schritt das echte Hundeleben. Für Missy suchen wir geduldige und einfühlsame Menschen, die ihr weiterhin Sicherheit geben und ihr die Welt zeigen möchten. Kinder sollten bereits älter und verständnisvoll im Umgang mit Tieren sein. Ein souveräner Ersthund darf gerne vorhanden sein.

About Missy

What life with Missy looks like

Missy is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Missy, answered.

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