Sussie

Mixed Breed · Female

A podencomischung, and specifically a successful one. A family with a country estate and horses called an animal rescuer and asked for help. Sussie showed up at their horses and found it quite cool. The family said it was very funny to see Sussie play with the horses. Sussie now lives on a private foster home with other dogs, with whom she likes to play and can lie outside in the big garden. Sussie is very shy but not complicated. She is very loving and quiet, and loves being in the house. Sussie needs a bit more time to settle in, so we are looking for a quiet family without children and with some dog experience. Sussie is not a dog who seeks contact with people but feels comfortable on the sofa. And with food, a lot can be learned and achieved, because Sussie always has an appetite. In the house, she is quiet and clean, and an apartment living situation is no problem. Whoever cracks this “shell” will be rewarded.

Eine Podencomischung und zwar eine gelungene. Eine Familie mit Landsitz und Pferden rief bei einer Tierschützerin an und bat um Hilfe. Sussie war bei deren Pferden aufgetaucht und fand das ziemlich cool. Die Familie sagte, das es sehr lustig war, Sussie mit den Pferden spielen zu sehen. Sussie lebt jetzt auf einer privaten Pflegestelle mit anderen Hunden, mit denen sie gern spielt und draußen im großen Garten liegen kann. Sussie ist sehr schüchtern aber nicht kompliziert. Sie ist sehr lieb und ruhig, liebt es auch im Haus zu sein. Sussie braucht etwas mehr Zeit zum Eingewöhnen, daher suchen wir eine ruhige Familie ohne Kinder und mit etwas Hundeerfahrung. Sussie ist kein Hund, der den Kontakt zu den Menschen sucht aber gleichzeitig fühlt sie sich auf dem Sofa wohl. Und mit Futter kann man viel lernen und erreichen, denn Sussie hat immer Hunger. Im Haus ist sie ruhig und sauber, eine Wohnungshaltung ist kein Problem. Wer diese “ Schale“ knacken kann, der wird belohnt.

About Sussie

What life with Sussie looks like

Sussie is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sussie, answered.

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