Spitzilein

Mixed Breed · Female

Spitzilein is a charming, dainty little female dog whose brown eyes can captivate anyone. At first, the loving mouse is a bit cautious and wants to get to know her counterpart. On the leash, the sweet girl walks well, she’s a pleasant passenger in the car, and other dogs are welcome to her. A treasure to fall in love with!

Spitzilein ist eine entzückende, zierliche kleine Hündin, deren Blick aus ihren braunen Rehaugen Herzen verzaubert. Die liebe Maus betrachtet anfänglich alles etwas vorsichtig und möchte ihr Gegenüber erst kennenlernen. An der Leine läuft das süße Mädel gut, im Auto ist sie eine angenehme Beifahrerin und andere Hunde sind ihr willkommen. Ein Goldschatz zum Verlieben!

About Spitzilein

What life with Spitzilein looks like

Spitzilein is a small 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 Spitzilein, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spitzilein?
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 Spitzilein on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Spitzilein 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 Spitzilein 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 Spitzilein 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 Spitzilein 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.
