How do I contact the shelter about Molly?

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

Can I adopt Molly if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Molly 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 Molly 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Molly 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 Molly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Born: ca. 2022/2023 Breed: mixed breed (ggf. Labrador) compatibility with others: Compatible with male dogs, but can be dominant in a small enclosure; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested. Current location: animal shelter Pirot (Serbien) Surrender reason: Found directly on the highway. Molly is an insecure female dog who doesn't know much. We unfortunately don't know anything about her past. A colleague from an animal shelter in Serbien found her completely terrified directly on the highway. She was sitting there trembling and staring (a video exists). It is suspected that her previous owners simply abandoned her on the highway and she didn't know what was happening. That is terrible for such a loving soul. At the animal shelter, there are unfortunately no opportunities to engage with the dogs. Walking and stimulation are completely foreign to her. We are looking for a home experienced with dogs for Molly, preferably with a securely fenced yard. We would like to place her as a single dog. In the enclosure, she had problems with the male dogs, but the enclosures are also very small and there is no stimulation. Additionally, the dogs are hungry and have far too little mental stimulation. Of course, this could look very different in a good home. Generally, she is compatible with male dogs. Since we know nothing about her past, there should be no small children in the household. So far, Molly has only learned that people leave her.

Geboren: ca. 2022/2023 Rasse: Mischling (ggf. Labrador) Verträglichkeit: Mit Rüden verträglich, im engen Zwinger eher dominant; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Abgabegrund: Wurde direkt an der Autobahn aufgegriffen. Molly ist eine unsichere Hündin, die nicht viel kennt. Über ihre Vorgeschichte wissen wir leider nichts. Eine Tierschutzkollegin in Serbien fand sie völlig verängstigt direkt an der Autobahn. Sie saß dort zitternd und starr (ein Video liegt vor). Es liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass ihre Vorbesitzer die Hündin einfach an der Autobahn ausgesetzt haben und sie nicht wusste, was geschah. Das ist schlimm für eine so liebe Seele. Im Tierheim gibt es leider keinerlei Möglichkeiten, sich mit den Hunden zu beschäftigen. Spaziergänge und Auslastung sind ihr völlig fremd. Wir suchen für Molly ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, gerne mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten. Wir würden sie gerne als Einzelhündin vermitteln. Im Zwinger hatte sie Probleme mit dem Rüden, allerdings sind die Zwinger auch sehr klein und es gibt keine Auslastung. Dazu kommt, dass die Hunde Hunger leiden und viel zu wenig Beschäftigung haben. Selbstverständlich kann das in einem guten Zuhause ganz anders aussehen. Grundsätzlich ist sie mit Rüden verträglich. Da wir über ihre Vorgeschichte nichts wissen, sollten in dem Haushalt keine kleinen Kinder leben. Bisher hat Molly nur gelernt, dass Menschen sie im Stich lassen.

About Molly

What life with Molly looks like

Molly is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
