How do I contact the shelter about Orsi?

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

Can I adopt Orsi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glück für Pfoten 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 Orsi 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 Orsi 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 Glück für Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orsi 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 Orsi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

This small, delicate puppy already carries a heavy story with her. Orsi was found at the fence of the animal shelter - tied to a barbed wire. Alone, frightened and without hope. We don't want to imagine what must have happened to her at that moment. Yet, although her start in life is sad and incomprehensible - Orsi has survived. Fortunately, she was found and is now safe, in our Hungarian partner-animal shelter. Now she can gradually learn that not all people are cruel. That there are hands that caress instead of harm. That security and warmth are possible. Orsi wishes more than anything for a home where she can finally arrive - with love, patience and understanding. Glück für Pfoten e.V. - The way to a new life - Phone and email: As we are employed, we may get back to you after several hours. It is best to contact the above-mentioned mediator first in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a call back (don't forget to mention your phone number if needed). Please be patient! Our animals travel with Traces and are rehomed exclusively to Germany (throughout Germany). If you would like to apply for a dog and you rent, please arrange a written confirmation from your landlord that keeping a (further or new) dog is allowed. We place dogs, provided there is no elevator, up to the 2nd floor, in order to prevent health limitations.

Dieses kleine, zarte Hündin trägt bereits eine schwere Geschichte mit sich. Orsi wurde am Zaun des Tierheims gefunden – festgebunden an einem Stacheldraht. Allein, verängstigt und ohne Hoffnung. Wir wollen uns gar nicht vorstellen, was in diesem Moment in ihr vorgegangen sein muss. Doch so traurig und unbegreiflich ihr Start ins Leben auch ist – Orsi hat überlebt. Zum Glück wurde sie gefunden und ist nun in Sicherheit, in unserem ungarischen Partner-Tierheim. Jetzt darf sie Schritt für Schritt lernen, dass nicht alle Menschen grausam sind. Dass es Hände gibt, die streicheln statt verletzen. Dass Geborgenheit und Wärme möglich sind. Orsi wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als ein Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf – mit Liebe, Geduld und Verständnis. Wer schenkt ihr die Chance auf ein Leben voller Zuneigung und Vertrauen?

About Orsi

What life with Orsi looks like

Orsi is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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