Sigrid

Mixed Breed · Female

Hello, I’m Sigrid—Are you looking for a loyal companion? Hello there! Yes, I’m talking about you specifically. Let me introduce myself: I’ve just come through a turbulent time—and now I’m ready to finally find my forever home. For a long time, I lived in a large dog group with our human. He meant well by us, but he was probably overwhelmed by all of us. He took good care of us, yet some things simply got left behind. And after he could no longer be there for us, we were scattered among different animal shelters. A true people-lover: I’m open, friendly, and cuddly. I relish every bit of attention and love people who show me affection. A pleasant housemate: Inside the home, I’m calm, relaxed, and a delightful companion. I settle down easily and enjoy being close to my humans. A little fitness project: Right now, I still carry a few extra pounds. At the shelter, I’m already working hard to get back into shape—with exercise and the right diet, I’m sure I’ll succeed. At the moment, I still have a bit of trouble with unfamiliar dogs. In my previous dog group, I knew everyone well, which is why I still share my kennel without any issues with Ingrid today. However, when I encounter unknown dogs outside or in everyday life, I often feel uncertain and can even become quite assertive. That’s why I’d like people who can give me security, clear guidance, and plenty of patience. With the right training and understanding people by my side, I can learn to handle encounters with other dogs more calmly. Most likely, I’d feel happiest as an only dog, so I could have my humans’ full attention all to myself. Maybe living together with another suitable dog would be possible someday—but right now, I’d rather have a place where I can settle down in peace. If you’re excited about going for walks together, doing a little fitness routine, enjoying lots of cuddles, and working with me on my interactions with other dogs, then I’d love to meet you. Maybe you’re exactly the person I’ve been waiting for all along. If you’re interested, we’d appreciate a meaningful email including your phone number at .

Hallo, ich bin Sigrid – suchst du eine treue Begleiterin? Hallo du! Ja, genau dich meine ich. Ich stelle mich einfach selbst vor, denn hinter mir liegt eine turbulente Zeit – und jetzt bin ich bereit, endlich mein Für-immer-Zuhause zu finden. Ich habe in einer großen Hundegruppe mit unserem Menschen gewohnt. Er hat es gut mit uns gemeint, war aber wohl doch mit uns allen überfordert. Er hat sich gut um uns gekümmert, dabei blieb aber so einiges liegen und nachdem er nicht mehr für uns da war haben sie uns auf verschiedene Tierheime verteilt. Menschenfreundin durch und durch: Ich bin offen, freundlich und verschmust. Ich genieße jede Aufmerksamkeit und freue mich über Menschen, die mir Zuneigung schenken. Angenehme Mitbewohnerin: Im Haus bin ich ruhig, entspannt und eine angenehme Begleiterin. Ich komme gut zur Ruhe und genieße die Nähe meiner Menschen. Ein kleines Fitnessprojekt: Im Moment bringe ich noch ein paar Kilos zu viel auf die Waage. Im Tierheim arbeite ich bereits fleißig daran, wieder fitter zu werden – mit Bewegung und der richtigen Ernährung klappt das bestimmt. Mit fremden Hunden tue ich mich derzeit noch schwer. In meiner früheren Hundegruppe kannte ich alle gut, deshalb teile ich mir auch heute noch problemlos den Zwinger mit Ingrid. Treffe ich draußen oder im Alltag jedoch auf unbekannte Hunde, reagiere ich momentan oft unsicher und kann dabei auch deutlich nach vorne gehen. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mir Sicherheit, klare Führung und Geduld geben. Mit dem richtigen Training und verständnisvollen Menschen an meiner Seite kann ich lernen, entspannter mit Hundebegegnungen umzugehen. Am wohlsten würde ich mich vermutlich als Einzelhündin fühlen, damit ich die Aufmerksamkeit meiner Menschen ganz für mich habe. Vielleicht ist ein Zusammenleben mit einem passenden Hund später einmal möglich – aktuell wünsche ich mir aber lieber einen Platz, an dem ich in Ruhe ankommen darf. Wenn du Lust auf gemeinsame Spaziergänge, ein kleines Fitnessprogramm, viele Kuscheleinheiten und darauf hast, mit mir gemeinsam an meinen Hundebegegnungen zu arbeiten, dann freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich schon so lange warte. Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Email mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Sigrid

What life with Sigrid looks like

Sigrid is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Sigrid, answered.

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