Tessa

Labrador Retriever · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Tessa wurde wie soviele Hundebabies zusammen mit ihrem Bruder in unserem Tierheim, der LIDA abgegeben. Die Beiden hatten Glück, das ihnen nichts Schlimmes passiert ist. Der Bruder konnte schon auf Sardinien vermittelt werden. Nun lebt Tessa hier im Welpengehege. Alterstypisch ist sie verspielt, tobt mit ihren Artgenossen und freut sich über jede Abwechslung. Menschen gegenüber ist sie sehr verschmust und anhänglich. Sobald man das Gehege betritt, sind ihre Hundekumpels abgeschrieben und sie kommt ohne Ängste und drückt sich an einen. Wir suchen für Tessa eine Familie oder Einzelperson mit Hundeerfahrung und einem Garten. Sie wird ca. 55-60 cm Endgröße haben. Sie sollten sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass die Erziehung eines Junghundes Zeit und Geduld erfordert, damit aus ihm ein toller Familienhund wird. Gerne kann ein sozialer Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre oder älter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen, denn Tessa ist kein Spielzeug. Wir vermuten, dass Appenzeller-Gene in Tessa stecken. Wir empfehlen immer den Besuch einer Hundeschule, damit das Mensch-Hund Team optimal gefördert wird. Wollen Sie mehr über Tessa erfahren? Dann nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt mit uns auf. Alle Hunde kommen selbstverständlich gechipt, entwurmt und komplett geimpft und mit einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland.

About Tessa

What life with Tessa looks like

Tessa is a medium-sized puppy/kitten labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Tessa, answered.

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