How do I contact the shelter about Snow?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tecklenburger Land 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 Tecklenburger Land 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 Tecklenburger Land 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.

Snow

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Attached Snugglebum A friendly "Hello" to all out there. My name is Snow and that's fitting because my fur is snow-white. I do have a few small brown spots on my back, but there's nothing to rub there... it's not dirt. Now, to the facts. I originally came from Romania. I'm a young lady, friendly and totally people-oriented, cuddly, and know the basic commands. I'm leash-trained. The name "Klette" would have suited me well. You're probably wondering: "Why in the world was she given up?" With the male dogs in the house, I couldn't get along anymore. We were once a good team, but in recent times, I wanted to take the senior's place. He's just getting older, and one can try to grab the power. But that didn't go over well. You don't mess with seniors' fur. I, however, cuddle with people of any age. I don't mess with their fur, but I might give them a bit of my own fur. You can see that in the person's clothes – they end up white. It's snowing where I am. I've already been well-groomed at the animal shelter and had my excess undercoat removed – I thought that was totally cool. Suddenly, it felt like a little lamb was lying next to me, and I was noticeably slimmer. So, on with the text: As said, I can sit, stay, and give paws, I walk super on the leash, and my nose is active on the ground when we go for a walk. I completely ignore bicycles and cars. A bit of prey drive is in me. We'll have to check that out with the next deer or rabbit that crosses our path. Other dogs, well, it depends – the chemistry plays a big role. So, if you have a vacuum cleaner and a lint brush – great – then my move in with you shouldn't be a problem. Come by and get to know me. Everyone here is really excited about me. Animal placements are currently only possible with an appointment. We therefore ask you to contact us by phone at 05481 / 4146 or by email if you're interested in one of our animals.

Anhängliche Schmusebacke Ein freundliches “Hallo” an alle da draußen. Mein Name ist Snow und das ist Programm, denn meine Fellfarbe ist schneeweiß. Naja, ein paar kleine bräunliche Flecken habe ich auf dem Rücken. Nix dran zu rubbeln … ist kein Schmutz. Spaß beiseite, jetzt zu den Fakten. Ich komme ursprünglich aus Rumänien. Bin eine junge Dame, freundlich und total menschenbezogen, verschmust, kenne die Grundkommandos und bin leinenführig. Der Name „Klette“ hätte auch zu mir gepasst. Sie fragen sich sicher: „Warum in Gottes Namen wurde sie dann abgegeben?“ Mit dem im Haus vorhandenen Rüden habe ich mich nicht mehr vertragen. Wir waren mal ein gutes Team, aber in der letzten Zeit wollte ich dem alten Herrn den Rang ablaufen. Er ist halt in die Jahre gekommen, da kann man ja mal versuchen, die Macht an sich zu reißen. Das kam aber gar nicht gut an. Senioren geht man halt nicht ans Fell. An Menschen jeder Altersklasse kuschle ich mich allerdings an. Denen gehe ich nicht ans Fell, denen gebe ich höchstens von mir Fell ab. Das sieht man hinterher an der Kleidung des Zweibeiners – weiß halt. Wo ich bin schneit es. Ich wurde im Tierheim schon ordentlich gebürstet und vom überschüssigen Unterfell befreit – fand ich total toll. Plötzlich lag neben mir gefühlt ein kleines Lämmchen und ich war deutlich schlanker. So, weiter im Text: Wie gesagt, ich kann Sitz, Platz, Pfote geben, ich laufe super an der Leine und beim Gassigehen ist meine Nase aktiv am Boden. Fahrräder und Autos ignoriere ich komplett. Ein bisschen Jagdtrieb soll in mir stecken. Beim nächsten Reh oder Hasen, der unseren Weg kreuzt, werden wir das mal genauer überprüfen. Andere Hunde, naja, liegt dran – da spielt die Sympathie eine große Rolle. Also, besitzen Sie einen Staubsauger und eine Fusselbürste – gut – dann steht meinem Einzug bei Ihnen ja nichts im Weg. Kommen Sie vorbei und lernen Sie mich kennen. Hier sind alle ganz begeistert von mir. Tiervermittlungen finden zurzeit nur mit Termin statt. Wir bitten Sie daher, sich bei Interesse an einem unserer Tiere vorab telefonisch unter 05481 / 4146 oder per E-Mail mit uns in Verbindung zu setzen. mehr erfahren

About Snow

What life with Snow looks like

Snow is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tecklenburger Land in Lengerich.

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.
