How do I contact the shelter about Sofie?

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

Can I adopt Sofie if I live in another country?

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

Sofie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

RW 30 is a small tricolor puppy with cute, perky ears and a heart full of hope. She was found alone without her mom along with her siblings RW 36, RW 38, RW 40 & RW 41. We know not where we should go, and were very afraid. Luckily, we are now safe in the shelter. Here I do not have to be afraid anymore, but a shelter is not home. I dream of a soft bed to snuggle into at night, of loving hands that stroke my fluffy fur, and of people who never leave me again. I wish for someone who discovers the world with me, plays, laughs, and shows me how beautiful life can be. Maybe you are exactly what I need? Interested? If you are interested in RW 30, please fill out our interest form () or write us an email at or a message via Facebook. RW 30 is ready to travel and can go with the next transport to Germany. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. As Traces is called the database system that monitors all animal traffic within the EU. The dogs travel castrated (if old enough), vaccinated, chipped and dewormed from and have an EU passport. Furthermore, a rapid test for the following diseases of the Mediterranean is carried out before departure in dogs over 12 months: Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, dirofilariasis and leishmaniasis. Help through sponsorship: RW 30 also wants a loving sponsor who gives her a nice name with the help of a sponsorship and thus helps to create an identity that increases the chances of finding a home.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. März 2026 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: nein Charakter: sehr freundlich, Welpen-typisch verspielt Größe: im Wachstum, etwa klein bis mittelgroß werdend Im Shelter seit: Juni 2026 Verwandtschaft: Geschwister Lia, Sissi M, Kleine Muck & Bea S Hallo, ich bin Sofie. Ich bin ein kleiner tricolorfarbener Welpe mit süßen, frech abstehenden Ohren – und einem Herzen voller Hoffnung. Gemeinsam mit meinen Geschwistern wurde ich ganz allein, ohne unsere Mama, gefunden. Wir wussten nicht, wohin wir sollten, und hatten große Angst. Zum Glück sind wir jetzt im Shelter in Sicherheit. Hier muss ich keine Angst mehr haben, aber ein Shelter ist eben kein Zuhause. Ich träume von einem weichen Körbchen, in das ich mich abends einkuscheln darf, von liebevollen Händen, die mein flauschiges Fell streicheln, und von Menschen, die mich nie wieder alleine lassen. Ich wünsche mir jemanden, der mit mir die Welt entdeckt, mit mir spielt, lacht und mir zeigt, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Vielleicht bist genau du mein größter Wunsch? Interesse geweckt? Wenn Sie Interesse an Sofie haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Sofie ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Hilfe durch Patenschaft: Martina S. und Georg G. haben die Patenschaft für Sofie übernommen und sorgen somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Sofie

What life with Sofie looks like

Sofie is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
