Quirly

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 15 years

Quirly is looking for a loving home. Hello, I am Quirly, a 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel. Although I'm already an older dog, I still hope to find someone who will love me and make me feel at home. I am very people-oriented and happiest when I can just be close to you - whether it's snuggling on the couch or going about our daily routine together. For my age, I'm still up for a walk and enjoy leisurely strolls. I love going out with my human and cherish every moment we spend together. I'm not looking for a perfect place but rather a loving home or foster placement with a big heart for an older dog. As a senior, I have so much love to give and hope someone will make my golden years special. Who can give me the chance of a warm bed and lots of cuddles? Contact via

Quirly sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause Hallo, ich bin Quirly, ein 15 Jahre alter Cocker Spaniel. Auch wenn ich schon zu den Senioren gehöre, wünsche ich mir noch einmal einen Menschen, bei dem ich ankommen darf. Ich bin sehr menschenbezogen und am glücklichsten, wenn ich einfach in deiner Nähe sein kann – ob beim Kuscheln auf dem Sofa oder beim gemeinsamen Alltag. Für mein Alter bin ich noch gerne unterwegs und freue mich über gemütliche Spaziergänge. Gassi gehen macht mir nach wie vor Spaß, und ich genieße jede gemeinsame Zeit mit meinem Menschen. Ich suche keinen perfekten Platz, sondern ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle mit einem großen Herzen für einen älteren Hund. Als Senior habe ich noch so viel Liebe zu geben und wünsche mir jemanden, der mir meinen Lebensabend schön macht. Wer schenkt mir die Chance auf ein warmes Körbchen und ganz viel Nähe? Kontakt über

About Quirly

What life with Quirly looks like

Quirly is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

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 Quirly, answered.

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