Monica

Dachshund · Female

Monica was surrendered along with her friend Macchia and her son. Apparently, they could no longer care for the dogs. They are Mom, Dad, and the child, now sitting in our cooperative animal shelter, hoping they will be seen and the gate will open forever. Monica is an absolutely chill and affectionate dachshund. She is simply a dream for people looking for a loyal companion to be with everywhere. We are looking for a family or individual for Monica who loves, supports, and never leaves her behind. Monica loves being with her people, she enjoys varied walks and of course cuddle time is a must. A first-time dog can live in the family. Children should be older, as we don't see Monica in a "quirky household". If you have questions about Monica, please get in touch. All dogs are chipped, vaccinated and travel with an EU passport in a transport registered with the German Veterinary Office.

Monica wurde zusammen mit ihrem Freund Macchia und ihrem Sohn abgegeben. Angeblich konnte man sich nicht mehr um die Hunde kümmern. Es sind Mama, Papa und das Kind, die nun in unserem Kooperationstierheim sitzen und hoffen, dass sie gesehen werden und sich die Gittertür für immer öffnet. Monica ist eine absolut chillige und verschmuste Dackeldame. Sie ist einfach ein Traum für Menschen, die einen treuen Begleiter suchen für überall mit dabei. Wir suchen für Monica eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die sie liebt, fördert und nie mehr im Stich lässt. Monica liebt es, bei ihren Menschen zu sein, sie freut sich über abwechslungsreiche Spaziergänge und natürlich dürfen Kuschelstunden nicht fehlen. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten schon älter sein, denn wir sehen Monica nicht in einem „quirligen Haushalt“. Haben Sie Fragen zu Monica, dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Monica

What life with Monica looks like

Monica is a small dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Monica, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monica?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Monica on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monica if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Monica, what they require (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 Monica already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Monica as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Monica isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Monica 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.
