Adopt Snow

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

The sweet white Snowflake came to us as a surrender when she was no longer treated fairly. Snow likely has a part of kitchen protection in her blood; she needs her space and a calm home. She takes a long time to build trust. Her new humans should bring a lot of patience and sensitivity. Once she has trust, although she is still very jumpy, she can also be cuddly. Especially during walks, she has a lot of fun and enjoys playing. Unfortunately, she is not leash-friendly, and this should be worked on carefully so as not to overwhelm Snow. She is compatible with other dogs depending on their affinity. shoulder height ca. Walks well on a leash.

Die süße weiße Schneeflocke kam als Abgabe zu uns, da man ihr nicht mehr gerecht wurde. Snow hat vermutlich einen Teil Herdenschutz mit im Blut, sie benötigt ihren Freiraum und ein ruhiges Zuhause.Sie braucht lange, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten viel Geduld und Feingefühl mitbringen. Wenn man ihr Vertrauen hat, ist sie zwar noch sehr schreckhaft, aber auch verschmust. Vorallem beim Gassi hat sie viel Spaß und tobt gerne. Leinenführig ist sie leider nicht, daran sollte vorsichtig gearbeitet werden, damit man Snow nicht überfordert.Mit anderen Hunden ist sie je nach Sympathie verträglich. Schulterhöhe ca. 55cm

About Snow

What life with Snow looks like

Snow is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Snow, answered.

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