How do I contact the shelter about Chestnut?

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 Chestnut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chestnut 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 Chestnut 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 Chestnut 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 Chestnut 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 Chestnut

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Age: to be provided. Gender: female. neutered: no Character: very friendly, puppy-like playful Size: still growing, likely to become medium-sized Im Shelter since: May 2026 Siblings: RW 4, RW 8, RW 10, RM 25 & RM 33 Hello… I would like to introduce myself! I am RW 7. A small dark brown girl with a light spot and sweet floppy ears. I live here with my 5 siblings. When we were found, I was terribly afraid. The world suddenly felt huge and cold. Without my mom, everything felt wrong. But as puppies, we supported each other. We slept together, trembled together, and snuggled close to each other. Even today in the shelter, we are still a small team. We spend our time playing and cuddling together. When one is sad, the others join in. Perhaps that's why I've learned how important closeness and love are. The people here try their best. They talk softly to us and pet us when they have time. But often, they must move on to the next dog, even though I'm just starting to enjoy the petting. Then I watch them and secretly wish for someone who would have time just for me. I dream of a home where I can feel safe. A soft dog bed, loving hands, and people who show me that life isn't just about fear. Maybe somewhere out there, my person is waiting for me. Can I hope that this person will discover me? If you are interested in RW 7, please fill out our interest form (), or send us an email or message on Facebook. RW 7 is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces is the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs are neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and they have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis.

SteckbriefAlter: ca. März 2026 geboren. Geschlecht: weiblich. Kastriert: neinCharakter: sehr freundlich, Welpen-typisch verspieltGröße: im Wachstum, vermutlich mittelgroß werdendIm Shelter seit: Mai 2026Verwandtschaft: Geschwister Shira, Leilani, Anela, Paolo & SamHallo… ich möchte mich euch gern vorstellen!Ich bin Chestnut. Ein kleines dunkelbraunes Mädchen mit einem hellen Lätzchen und süßen Schlappöhrchen.Ich lebe hier mit meinen 5 Geschwistern. Als wir gefunden wurden, hatte ich furchtbare Angst. Die Welt war plötzlich riesig und kalt. Ohne Mama fühlte sich alles falsch an. Aber wir Welpen haben uns gegenseitig Halt gegeben. Wir haben zusammen geschlafen, zusammen gezittert und uns ganz fest aneinander gekuschelt.Auch heute im Shelter sind wir noch ein kleines Team. Wir verbringen die Zeit mit gemeinsamen Toben und Kuscheln. Wenn einer traurig ist, kommen die anderen dazu. Vielleicht habe ich deshalb gelernt, wie wichtig Nähe und Liebe sind.Die Menschen hier geben sich große Mühe. Sie reden sanft mit uns und streicheln uns, wenn sie Zeit haben. Aber oft müssen sie schon weiter zum nächsten Hund, obwohl ich gerade erst angefangen habe, das Streicheln zu genießen. Dann schaue ich ihnen hinterher und wünsche mir heimlich jemanden, der nur für mich Zeit hat.Ich träume von einem Zuhause, in dem ich mich sicher fühlen darf. Von einem weichen Körbchen, liebevollen Händen und Menschen, die mir zeigen, dass das Leben nicht nur Angst bedeutet.Vielleicht wartet genau irgendwo da draußen mein Mensch auf mich.Darf ich hoffen, dass mich dieser hier Mensch entdeckt? Interesse geweckt?Wenn Sie Interesse an Chestnut haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Chestnut 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. Christelle B. hat die Patenschaft für Chestnut übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Chestnut

What life with Chestnut looks like

Chestnut 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.
