How do I contact the shelter about Thaddeus?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thaddeus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Thaddeus if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Thaddeus 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 Thaddeus 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thaddeus 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.

Adopt Thaddeus

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around May 2022 Gender: male neutered: yes Character: friendly, very open, cuddly, playful, happy to receive attention, compatible with fellow animals Size: approx. 50 cm In shelter since: August 2022 Related: Mama Emmi, siblings Devis, Sally Hello everyone out there! I am part of a very open-spirited sibling trio and together with our Mama, we landed here in the shelter. Before that, we lived in a garden where Mama was chained day and night. As soon as we three had seen the light of day, we were no longer wanted and were fortunately saved by animal rescuers together, before we might have been left to our fate. But now, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I am a totally friendly and curious puppy and am desperately looking for my Forever Home. My Mama and my sister have already taken the big trip to their families, and so do I want to take this step finally. I really like you two-leggeds and would definitely bring a lot of joy into your life. Are you ready to take on the ‘Adventures of the Animal Rescue Dog’? Because I only know the kennel and the two people who take care of all the dogs in the shelter. Life with and among a family will be a completely new experience for me, and with that, I need time and patient people by my side. I would very much like to attend dog training classes, because everyone can benefit from that. Now, I hope that my shining fur, my glowing eyes, and my radiant smile will enchant you and that you will contact us soon so I don’t have to wait much longer for my happiness. If you are interested in Thaddeus, please fill out our interested parties form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Thaddeus is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. As Traces, one refers to the database system with which the entire animal transport within the EU is monitored. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Birgit R. has taken on the sponsorship for Thaddeus and thus ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. Mai 2022 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich, sehr aufgeschlossen, verschmust, verspielt, freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit, verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 50 cm Im Shelter seit: August 2022 Verwandte: Mama Emmi, Geschwister Devis, Sally Hallo an alle da draußen! Ich bin Teil eines sehr aufgeschlossenen Geschwister-Trios und zusammen mit unserer Mama hier im Shelter gelandet. Zuvor lebten wir in einem Garten, wo Mama Tag und Nacht angekettet war. Kaum hatten wir drei das Licht der Welt erblickt, waren wir nicht mehr erwünscht und wurden – glücklicherweise zusammen – von Tierschützern gerettet, bevor man uns vermutlich dem Schicksal überlassen hätte. Aber jetzt erzähle ich euch noch etwas über mich. Ich bin ein total freundlicher und neugieriger Hundejunge und dringend auf der Suche nach meinem Für-Immer-Zuhause. Meine Mama und meine Schwester durften bereits die große Reise zu ihren Familien antreten und so möchte auch ich diesen Schritt endlich gehen. Ich mag euch Zweibeiner wirklich nämlich sehr gern und würde bestimmt ganz viel Freude in euer Leben bringen. Bist du bereit, das ‘Abenteuer Tierschutzhund’ in Angriff zu nehmen? Denn ich kenne nur den Zwinger und die beiden Menschen, die sich um alle Hunde hier im Shelter kümmern. Das Leben bei und mit einer Familie wird eine ganz neue Erfahrung für mich sein und damit ich mich an alles Neue gewöhnen kann, brauche ich Zeit und geduldige Menschen an meiner Seite. Den Besuch einer Hundeschule würde ich mir sehr wünschen, denn davon können nämlich alle profitieren. Nun hoffe ich, dass dich mein glänzendes Fell, meine leuchtenden Augen und mein strahlendes Lächeln verzaubern und du dich schon bald meldest, damit ich nicht mehr lange auf mein Glück warten muss. Wenn Sie Interesse an Thaddeus haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Thaddeus ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Birgit R. hat die Patenschaft für Thaddeus übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Thaddeus

What life with Thaddeus looks like

Thaddeus is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
