Adopt Tessa

Mixed Breed · Female

Tessa is a cute little girl with a lot of potential, destined to become a wonderful family member. We are looking for people who enjoy teaching her the basics of puppy 1x1 and are aware that it will be hard work but also filled with great joy. Tessa is not yet house-trained, and we are searching for patient people who can teach this little puppy girl all the skills and abilities she will need in life. Then, hopefully, she will be a permanent family member for many years.

Tessa ist ein hübsches kleines Mädchen mit ganz viel Potenzial, sich zu einem wunderbaren Familienmitglied zu entwickeln. Wir wollen Menschen ansprechen, die Freude daran haben, mit ihr das kleine Hunde 1x1 zu erlernen und sich bewußt sind, daß es Arbeit, aber auch ganz viel Freude, bereiten wird. Tessa ist noch nicht stubenrein und wir suchen geduldige Menschen, die einem kleinen Welpenmädchen alles beibringen, was man im Leben so an Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten benötigt. Dann wird sie hoffentlich über viele Jahre eine festes Familienmitglied sein dürfen.

About Tessa

What life with Tessa looks like

Tessa is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Forchheim in Forchheim.

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 Tessa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tessa?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Forchheim 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 — Tierheim Forchheim 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 Tierheim Forchheim 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.
