Scrat

Female · Senior · 12 years

Hundeomi Scrat was found and has never been missed. This doesn’t surprise us, given that she had several construction sites in her luggage. Scrat had all her teeth extracted at the shelter and a knee was operated on. Scrat is currently in the rehabilitation phase. Whether the second knee will also need to be operated on is still uncertain. Unfortunately, her liver values are also slightly elevated due to her age. Scrat wishes for a single place where she can be properly pampered again. Preferably with larger children, but on the ground floor. Who will give the Hundeoma a loving home?

Hundeomi Scrat wurde gefunden und nie vermisst. Auch das wundert uns nicht, hatte sie doch einige Baustellen im Gepäck. Scrat wurden alle Zähne bei uns gezogen und ein Knie wurde operiert. Scrat ist aktuell in der Rehaphase. Ob das zweite auch operiert werden muss, steht noch nicht fest. Leider sind auch die Leberwerte altersbedingt etwas erhöht. Scrat wünscht sich einen Einzelplatz in dem sie nochmal so richtig betüddelt wird. Gerne mit größeren Kindern, aber ebenerdig. Wer gibt der Hundeoma ein liebevolles Zuhause?

About Scrat

What life with Scrat looks like

Scrat is a senior dog waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

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 Scrat, answered.

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