Tess

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Für eine größere Ansicht klicken Sie auf das Bild Tess – klein, bezaubernd und bereit für ihr Glück . Unsere junge Tess ist eine ganz besondere Hündin. Mit ihrer tollen, handlichen Größe und ihrem allerliebsten Aussehen erobert sie die Herzen im Sturm. Doch hinter ihren sanften Augen steckt eine eher schüchterne Seele, die etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Für Tess wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihr die Sicherheit geben, die sie braucht. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre für sie ein großer Gewinn, denn an einem selbstbewussten Artgenossen kann sie sich orientieren und vieles leichter lernen. Größere, verständnisvolle Kinder dürfen gerne zur Familie gehören, sofern sie respektvoll mit ihr umgehen. Katzen sollten nach unserer Einschätzung ebenfalls kein Problem sein. Wer Tess die Zeit schenkt, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen, wird mit einer liebevollen, treuen Begleiterin belohnt. Sie wartet nur darauf, endlich ihr Für-immer-Zuhause zu finden.

About Tess

What life with Tess looks like

Tess is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Weil am Rhein e.V. in Weil am Rhein.

An young 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 Tess, answered.

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