How do I contact the shelter about Tessi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tessi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tessi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Tessi 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 Tessi 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tessi 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.

Tessi

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 16 years

Tessi is a mixed-breed female dog, approximately 14 to 15 years old. Due to the sad loss of her owner, Tessi needs to find a new home, which hopefully will be her last move. The little one has witnessed her owner’s loss and is very dependent on her people, unable to be left alone (she bellows and whines loudly). Naturally, with her age, the typical symptoms are present. Unfortunately, we do not know where her vaccination records and papers are, so it is recommended to have her examined and receive any necessary vaccinations. We cannot say much about her exact health condition since her previous owner, who passed away due to illness, no longer had any records. Tessi is a very quiet and very, very loving female dog. She loves to be with her owner 24/7. She sleeps and eats well (on a diet) and is curious about other animals, sometimes even a bit dominant. Tessi also complains when she has to go out or gets bored and needs attention. She plays with her toys and is very attentive, currently a bit skittish. Tessi cannot go for long walks anymore; she is satisfied with 20 minutes several times a day. Tessi has not learned any commands, but we have noticed that she responds to hand gestures.

Tessi ist eine ca. 14 bis 15 Jahre alte kleine Mischlingshündin. Durch den traurigen Verlust ihres Frauchen muss Tessi in ein neues Zuhause, das auf Grund ihres Alters ihr hoffentlich letzter Umzug werden könnte. Die Kleine hat ihr Frauchen und das Geschehene mitbekommen, ist sehr auf ihre Menschen angewiesen und kann nicht mehr alleine bleiben (bellt und winselt laut). Durch ihr Alter sind natürlich auch die typischen Symptome da. Leider weiß man nicht, wo der Impfpass und dessen Papiere sind, es empfiehlt sich daher eine Untersuchung zu machen und neue Impfungen durchzuführen. Über die genaue Gesundheit kann man nicht viel sagen, da ihre Vorbesitzerin (durch Erkrankung und leider dann von uns gegangen ist) keine Unterlagen mehr dazu hatte. Tessi ist eine sehr ruhige und sehr, sehr liebevolle kleine Hündin. Sie mag es am liebsten ihren Besitzer rund um die Uhr zu begleiten. Sie schläft und frisst (auf Diät ) gut und sie ist zu anderen Tieren neugierig und manchmal auch etwas dominant. Tessi beschwert sich auch schon mal, wenn sie z.B. raus muss oder ihr langweilig wird und sie Aufmerksamkeit braucht. Sie spielt mit ihren Spielzeugen und ist sehr aufmerksam, zur Zeit etwas schreckhaft. Langes Gassigehen kann Tessi nicht mehr, es reichen ihr mehrmals am Tag 20 Minuten. Tessi hat keine Kommandos gelernt, aber wir haben festgestellt, dass sie durch Handbewegungen auch zu einem zurück kommt. Bitte melden Sie sich telefonisch unter oder per Mail an
