Adopt Thies

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Born around September 2021, Gender: male, neutered: yes, Character: friendly, somewhat reserved but friendly, compatible with fellow animals, Size: approx. 50 cm, In shelter since: May 2022, Siblings: Louie and Dorie (left in the fall of 2023), Guten Tag dear people! I was rescued together with my two siblings from the street. Unfortunately, I no longer remember how we ended up there. Either we were born on the street and somehow managed to survive there, or we were abandoned. Either way… I always look forward and hope for a better future. At least I am safe in the shelter and have the chance to find a forever home. I truly hope that my special fur pattern and my hopeful look will touch people's hearts, so that my family will soon come forward. Shortly after my arrival, I was still quite shy and wasn't sure if I could really trust people. But now I have settled in well – thanks to my wonderful pack, I feel really comfortable. The general joy of visitors is contagious, and so I now also approach strangers with excitement, a little cautiously but happily. My trusted people, our two caregivers, even let me be stroked with a little patience and calm. What is still missing for my perfect happiness is my own family. This family should be motivated to work with me, because I am in the prime of my life and not a sleeping pill. Nonetheless, moving to a new environment and meeting new people will be a big challenge for me. Everyday things like going for a ride in the car, going for a walk on a leash, and climbing stairs are still foreign words to me. Therefore, I need patient and sensitive people who can gradually bring me closer to the new world and give me the time I need to build trust. I am looking forward to you if you have fallen in love with Thies and want to get in touch. If you are interested in Thies, please fill out our application form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Thies is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted for dogs over 12 months old before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Ulla W. has taken on the sponsorship for Thies and ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. September 2021 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich, etwas zurückhaltend, aber kontaktfreudig, verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 50 cm Im Shelter seit: Mai 2022 Verwandte: Geschwister Louie und Dorie (lief im Herbst 2023 weg) Guten Tag liebe Menschen! Ich wurde zusammen mit meinen beiden Geschwistern von der Straße gerettet. Wie wir dort gelandet sind, weiß ich leider nicht mehr. Entweder wurden wir auf der Straße geboren und haben uns dort irgendwie durchgeschlagen oder wir wurden ausgesetzt. Wie auch immer… Ich schaue stets nach vorne und hoffe nun auf eine bessere Zukunft. Immerhin bin ich hier im Shelter in Sicherheit und habe die Chance, ein Für-Immer-Zuhause zu finden. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass meine besondere Fellzeichnung und mein erwartungsvoller Blick die Menschenherzen höher schlagen lassen, so dass sich meine Familie bald meldet. Kurz nach meiner Ankunft war ich noch ziemlich schüchtern und wusste nicht so recht, ob ich Menschen wirklich vertrauen kann. Doch inzwischen habe ich mich gut eingelebt – dank meines wundervollen Rudels fühle ich mich richtig wohl. Die allgemeine Freude über Besuch steckt an, und so traue auch ich mich inzwischen, neugierig und ein wenig vorsichtig, aber freudig aufgeregt Kontakt zu fremden Shelterbesuchern aufzunehmen. Von meinen Bezugspersonen, unseren beiden Pflegern, lasse ich mich mit etwas Geduld und Ruhe sogar ganz gerne streicheln. Was mir nun noch zum perfekten Glück fehlt, ist eine eigene Familie. Diese sollte motiviert sein, mit mir zu arbeiten, denn ich bin in der Blüte meines Lebens und keineswegs eine Schlaftablette. Nichtsdestotrotz wird ein Umzug in eine neue Umgebung und zu neuen Menschen eine große Herausforderung für mich sein. Alltägliche Dinge wie im Auto mitzufahren, an der Leine zu gehen und Treppen zu steigen sind für mich Fremdwörter. Daher brauche ich geduldige und einfühlsame Menschen, die mir Schritt für Schritt die neue Welt näherbringen und mir die Zeit geben, die ich benötige, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Ich freue mich, wenn du dich in mich verguckt hast und dich bei mir meldest. Wenn Sie Interesse an Thies haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Thies 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. Ulla W. hat die Patenschaft für Thies übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Thies

What life with Thies looks like

Thies 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Thies, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thies?
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 Thies on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thies 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 Thies 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 Thies 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 Thies 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.
