Selma

Mixed Breed · Female

Selma is a particularly lovable female dog with a magical calm nature. She loves her fellow animals, is very playful, likes cats and can be alone at home for several hours. On her walk rounds, the girl behaves exemplary on the leash and in the car she is a problem-free passenger. Unknown and foreign noises scare her a little, but after a short orientation, the world is back to normal. Selma is an enthusiastic camper. With her owner, she has enjoyed many beautiful hours at the campsite. Personal circumstances have unfortunately led to the wonderful female dog being in search of a new family. We would like a house with a garden for her. Children are welcome.

DE·Show original

Selma ist eine besonders liebenswerte Hündin mit einem zauberhaften ruhigen Wesen. Sie liebt ihre Artgenossen, ist sehr spielfreudig, mag Katzen und kann brav einige Stunden alleine zu Hause bleiben. Auf ihren Gassi Runden läuft das Mädel vorbildlich an der Leine und im Auto ist sie eine problemlose Beifahrerin. Unbekanntes und fremde Geräusche erschrecken sie ein wenig, aber nach kurzer Orientierung ist die Welt wieder in Ordnung. Selma ist eine begeisterte Camperin. Mit ihrem Herrchen hat sie auf dem Zeltplatz viele schöne Stunden genossen. Persönliche Umstände haben leider dazu geführt, dass die wunderbare Hündin auf der Suche nach einer neuen Familie ist. Gerne hätten wir für sie ein Häuschen mit Garten. Kinder sind ihr willkommen.

About Selma

What life with Selma looks like

Selma is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Selma, answered.

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