Adopt Tiffy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

people-oriented, friendly, open-minded The wonderful Tiffy came to us from Romania not long ago and is now searching for a home with genuine Welsh Corgi fans or those who will become one. Together with another Welsh Corgi, she moved into her temporary holiday home with us. The 4-year-old female dog is a great companion by the side of her trusted people. She is people-oriented, friendly, and shows herself to be compatible with familiar fellow animals. With these, she loves to run and play in the enclosed play area. Although she is generally very people-oriented, she can lose her bearings when meeting unfamiliar dogs, and our delicate female dog shows that there is quite a power pack in her – and not always in the best sense. Tiffy needs consistent guidance and a dog-experienced person by her side who can provide her with the necessary support in such situations. This does not only mean raw muscle power (although that doesn't hurt), but also a certain "know-how" in dealing with her. With familiar dogs, she is very compatible, although she prefers the male gender – with them, she is very playful and fun. On the leash, she runs well and is very attentive to her surroundings. The rules of play in a home environment are not yet familiar to Tiffy. She also needs patience and a guiding hand to give her the opportunity to develop into a full-fledged family member. Tiffy is already house-trained. Cats and small animals should not live in her new home, as she has a prey drive. Existing children should already know the appropriate way to handle dogs and should be in their teenage years. Anyone who would like to meet our Tiffy can do so by arrangement here in Essen.

menschenbezogen, freundlich, aufgeschlossen Die tolle Tiffy kam vor einiger Zeit aus Rumänien zu uns und sucht nun ein Heim bei echten Windhundfans oder denen, die es werden wollen. Gemeinsam mit einer weiteren Windhündin bezog sie ihre Übergangs-Ferienwohnung bei uns. Die 4 jährige Hündin ist eine tolle Begleitung an der Seite ihrer Bezugspersonen Sie ist menschenbezogen, freundlich und zeigt sich verträglich mit bekannten Artgenossen. Mit diesen liebt sie es im eingezäunten Auslauf zu toben, zu spielen. Sie ist zwar grundsätzlich sehr am Menschen orientiert, bei Begegnungen mit fremden Hunden verliert sie jedoch die Orientierung schonmal und unsere zarte Hündin zeigt, dass in ihr ein ziemliches Powerpaket steckt - und das nicht immer nur im besten Sinne. Tiffy benötigt hier konsequente Führung und einen hundeerfahrenen Menschen an ihrer Seite, der ihr in solchen Situationen den nötigen Rückhalt bietet. Das bedeutet nicht nur reine Muskelkraft (wobei die auch nicht schaden kann), sondern auch das gewisse „Know-how“ im Umgang mit ihr. Mit bekannten Hunden ist sie aber toll verträglich, wobei sie das männliche Geschlecht bevorzugt - mit ihnen ist sehr verspielt und lustig. An der Leine läuft sie richtig gut und nimmt sehr aufmerksam ihre Umgebung wahr. Die Spielregeln in einem eigenen Zuhause kennt Tiffy bisher nicht so gut. Auch hier benötigt sie Geduld und einen roten Faden, damit sie die Möglichkeit erhält, sich zu einem vollwertigen Familienmitglied entwickeln zu können. Stubenrein ist Tiffy schon. Katzen und Kleintiere sollten besser nicht in ihrem neuen Zuhause leben, da sie Jagdtrieb hat Vorhandene Kinder sollten den angemessenen Umgang mit Hunden bereits kennen und sich eher im Teenager-Alter befinden. Wer unsere Tiffy einmal kennenlernen möchte, kann dies gern nach Absprache hier bei uns in Essen tun.

About Tiffy

What life with Tiffy looks like

Tiffy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Tiffy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tiffy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tiffy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tiffy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Tiffy 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 Tiffy 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tiffy 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.
