How do I contact the shelter about Rieke?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Friends for Life Germany e.V. 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 — Friends for Life Germany 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 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 Friends for Life Germany e.V. 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.

Rieke

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The young female dog was allowed to travel to her foster home in Germany on May 23, 2025. She now lives with a family with children and two other dogs. Rieke shows an extremely friendly attitude towards the existing young child. She is very curious, people-oriented, and seeks independent contact. She is very open to new people. Rieke has already taken her first walks and walks directly well on the leash, especially considering that she had never met a harness and leash before. The foster home is now working diligently on house training. Riecke needs clear structures and boundaries from her humans. She will grow into a large dog. We are now looking for dog-experienced people for Riecke who are willing to work with a dog. If you feel called and want to give Rieke a home, please feel free to contact us.

Die junge Hündin durfte am 23.05.2025 auf ihre Pflegestelle in Deutschland reisen. Hier lebt sie nun in einer Familie mit Kindern und zwei weiteren Hunden. Rieke zeigt sich dem vorhandenen Kleinkind äußerst freundlich gegenüber. Sie ist sehr neugierig, menschenbezogen und sucht selbstständig Kontakt. Sie ist sehr offen neuen Menschen gegenüber. Rieke hat bereits ihre ersten Spaziergänge gemacht und läuft direkt prima an der Leine, vor allem dafür, dass sie zuvor noch nie ein Geschirr und Leine kennengelernt hatte. An der Stubenreinheit wird von der Pflegestelle nun fleißig gearbeitet. Riecke benötigt von ihren Menschen Führung mit klaren Strukturen und Grenzen. Sie wird im ausgewachsenen Alter ein großer Hund sein. Wir suchen für Riecke nun hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Lust haben, mit einem Hund zu arbeiten. Wenn Du dich angesprochen fühlst und Rieke ein Zuhause schenken möchtest, dann melde dich gerne bei uns.

About Rieke

What life with Rieke looks like

Rieke is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Friends for Life Germany e.V. in Hemer.

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.
