Sofia

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

Emergency: Sofia – tieroase-heuchelheim.de. Born: Sofia turns 15 at the end of October, and her greatest wish is to have a home of her own once again. Her owner has moved into a retirement home, and Sofia is now in foster care. Her teeth have been restored and her senior warts removed. Sofia is still full of joie de vivre, but from time to time she can be a little restless and wanders through the apartment. She takes her heart medication without any problems. Walks are her passion, and she rides in the car totally relaxed and happily. Being left alone makes her insecure, so it would be wonderful if someone were always there for her. She is not a big cuddler, but she likes to lie on the couch with you and enjoys cozy evenings. Sofia is house-trained, and at night she sleeps in her basket. Who will give this sweet female dog a chance? She can be met in 63697 Hirzenhain.

Notfall: Sofia tieroase-heuchelheim.de, geboren Sofia wird Ende Oktober 15 Jahre alt und ihr größter Wunsch ist es nochmal ein eigenes Zuhause zu haben. Ihr Frauchen ist ins Seniorenheim gezogen und Sofia auf eine Pflegestelle. Ihre Zähne sind saniert und Alterswarzen wurden entfernt. Sofia ist noch voller Lebensfreude, ab und an ist sie aber auch etwas unruhig und spaziert durch die Wohnung. Sie bekommt ein Herzmedikament, was sie problemlos nimmt. Spaziergänge sind ihre Leidenschaft, sie fährt total entspannt und gerne Auto. Allein bleiben macht sie unsicher, es wäre toll wenn immer jemand für sie da wäre. Sie ist keine große Schmuserin, liegt aber gerne mit auf der Couch und genießt gemütliche Abende. Sofia ist stubenrein und nachts schläft sie im Körbchen. Wer gibt der süßen Hündin eine Chance? Kennen gelernt werden kann sie in 63697 Hirzenhain.

About Sofia

What life with Sofia looks like

Sofia is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tieroase Heuchelheim in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sofia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sofia?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tieroase Heuchelheim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sofia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sofia if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tieroase Heuchelheim 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sofia 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 Sofia 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 Tieroase Heuchelheim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sofia 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.
