Adopt Susanna

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Susanna, a very lovely and friendly female dog, came to her family as a puppy and grew up with the children. Over time, they acquired additional animals: 2 Jack Russell Terriers and a Norwegian forest cat. After her owner was expecting another baby, it became too crowded for everyone. Because Susanna is extremely clingy, she had to leave as the oldest. The deep affection of her foster mother now allows her to forget the past.

Susanna, eine sehr liebenswerte und freundliche Hündin, kam als Welpe zu ihrer Familie und ist zusammen mit den Kindern aufgewachsen. Im Laufe der Zeit schafften sie sich weitere Tiere an: 2 Jack-Russell-Terrier und eine norwegische Waldkatze. Nachdem ihr Frauchen erneut ein Baby erwartete, wurde es für alle zu eng. Da Susanna extrem anhänglich ist, musste sie als älteste weg. Die tiefe Zuneigung ihres Pflegefrauchens lässt sie nun das Vergangene vergessen.

About Susanna

What life with Susanna looks like

Susanna is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Susanna, answered.

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