Adopt Rieke

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Rike's story began under the shadow of a great challenge. She was rescued three years ago as a puppy together with her sister—both suffered severely from malnutrition. Unfortunately, her sister lost the battle against parvovirus, but Rieke proved that she is a true fighter. With the right treatment, high-quality food, and endless love, Rieke transformed from a weak puppy into a beautiful, lively, and completely healthy female dog, unfortunately, she has been overlooked so far… Rieke is an incredibly cheerful and very friendly young female dog, full of contagious energy, getting along well with all the other dogs and even strangers. Rieke needs active people who love long walks and playtime outdoors and can give her the time and attention she so deserves. She is the perfect companion for adventures, but just as suitable for cozy snuggles after an exciting day.

Riekes Geschichte begann im Schatten einer großen Herausforderung. Sie wurde vor 3 Jahren als Welpe zusammen mit ihrer Schwester gerettet – beide litten schwer unter Mangelernährung. Leider verlor ihre Schwester den Kampf gegen das Parvovirus, doch Rieke bewies, dass sie eine echte Kämpferin ist. Mit der richtigen Behandlung, hochwertigem Futter und unendlich viel Liebe verwandelte sich Rieke von einem schwachen Welpen in eine wunderschöne, lebensfrohe und vollkommen gesunde Hündin, leider wurde sie bisher immer übersehen… Rieke ist eine unglaublich fröhliche und zu jedem sehr freundliche junge Hündin, sie steckt voller ansteckender Energie, versteht sich bestens mit allen Hunden und ihr fremden Menschen. Rieke braucht aktive Menschen, die lange Spaziergänge und Spielzeit im Freien lieben und ihr die Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit schenken können, die sie so sehr verdient. Sie ist die perfekte Begleiterin für Abenteuer, aber genauso auch für lange Kuscheleinheiten nach einem aufregenden Tag.

About Rieke

What life with Rieke looks like

Rieke is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenglück Bayern in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rieke, answered.

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