How do I contact the shelter about Motte?

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

Can I adopt Motte if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hassberge 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 Motte 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 Motte 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 Hassberge early rather than rehoming privately; they know Motte 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.

Motte

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Motte introduces herself: Hello, I'm Lotte and a Pinscher mix. The people here say I was born around 2021. After my owner passed away, I was separated from over 40 other dogs and distributed to various shelters. Unfortunately, before moving, I hadn't had the chance to experience much and am somewhat shy. But since I've been at the animal shelter, I've gotten a good handle on that. I need to get to know other dogs first before I can like them. My new owner should patiently but consistently teach me the things I haven't learned yet. I'm very excited about a new life with my own family. The shy Motte was born around 2022 and has not yet been neutered. Motte is likely a German Pinscher – Ridgeback mix. Lotte, Motte, and Peanut were all together with Pfeffi (who has already moved out) in a household where over 40 dogs were kept. Since the owner passed away, the dogs were distributed to multiple shelters. In their previous home, they unfortunately didn't get to experience much of the world and will need patience, sensitivity, and love in their new home. Petting/touching is only possible to a limited extent – walking on a leash is not yet possible. Therefore, a garden with a dog-proof fence is needed. This animal is not yet neutered/spayed.

Motte stellt sich selbst vor: Hallöle, ich bin Lotte und ein Pinscher-Mix. Die Menschen hier sagen, dass ich etwa 2021 geboren worden bin. Nachdem mein Frauchen verstorben ist, bin ich mit über 40 anderen Hunden auf verschiedene Tierheime verteilt worden. Leider habe ich vor meinem Umzug noch gar nichts kennenlernen dürfen und bin teilweise etwas schüchtern. Seit ich hier im Tierheim bin, hab ich das aber schon ziemlich gut in den Griff bekommen. Andere Hunde muss ich erst einmal kennen lernen um sie zu mögen. Mein neues Frauchen oder Herrchen sollte mir geduldig, aber konsequent die neuen Sachen beibringen, die ich noch nicht lernen konnte. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf ein neues Leben mit einer eigenen Familie. Die schüchterne Motte ist ca. 2022 geboren und bislang noch nicht kastriert. Motte ist wahrscheinlich ein Deutscher Pinscher – Ridgeback-Mix. Lotte, Motte und Peanut sind gemeinsam mit Pfeffi (bereits ausgezogen) aus einem Haushalt, in welchem über 40 Hunde gehalten wurden. Da die Halterin verstorben ist, wurden die Hunde auf mehrere Tierheime verteilt. Im vorherigen Zuhause durften sie leider noch nichts von der Welt kennenlernen und benötigen daher im neuen Zuhause Geduld, Feingefühl und Liebe. Streicheln/Anfassen ist nur bedingt – Gassigehen noch nicht möglich. Deshalb wird auch ein Garten mit hundesicherer Umzäunung benötigt. /* Clearfix for container */ .gallery1:after { content: ''; display: block; clear: both; } /* Two Column Layout */ /* Three Column Layout */ .b-link-stroke .b-link-stroke .slgf_home_portfolio_caption h3 { color: ; } Motte Zoom Zoom Zoom

About Motte

What life with Motte looks like

Motte is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hassberge in Germany.

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.
