Tilda

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Tilda, a female dog, has been at the shelter since June 2026. She is estimated to have been born in December 2025 and is likely to grow to a shoulder height of 40-59 cm. Learn more about Tilda in a video! Tilda, a cautious dog, is looking for a safe home. She was rescued with her sister Hanni from a killing station and taken to the shelter. Both were very scared, always sought protection together and gave each other security. You can find more information about how the dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions in our animal welfare FAQ. In the shelter, Tilda remains very unsure of people. In new situations, she keeps her distance, often retreats to her hut and observes everything from a safe distance. With patience, she becomes calmer and sometimes ventures a bit closer, but cannot be touched yet. She gets along well with her cage partner. Her character will continue to develop in the coming weeks and months - only the beginnings can be seen at this point. We are looking for a quiet, experienced home without expectations for a quick approach for Tilda. A confident first-time dog owner could help her find her bearings. Her experienced dog owners should be able to read dog language well and give her the time she needs to build trust. Puppies should not have to grow up in the shelter. Therefore, we urgently need a loving home or an experienced foster home for this little dog - a place where she can discover the world, build trust and simply be a puppy. Anyone who adopts a puppy should be aware of how demanding everyday life with a young dog can be: As soon as the house is clean, the "wild puberty" is often already there - full of energy, uncertainties and new challenges. The first years of life are an exciting journey that humans and dogs go through together - with ups and downs and plenty of learning moments. We are looking for people with patience, empathy and perseverance for this dog - and with the understanding that animal shelter dogs often already have a certain history. How exactly they react to their new life in Germany can never be fully predicted. But one thing is certain: Adopting instead of buying not only gives a second chance to an animal, but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by your side. Are you already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about an adoption, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated and neutered before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, please send a message to our placement team.

Im Tierheim seit: Juni 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Dezember 2025 Geschätzte Endschulterhöhe: ca. 40 – 59 cm Lerne hier Tilda in einem weiteren Video kennen! Vorsichtige Tilda sucht ein geschütztes Dach über dem Kopf Diese Fellnase wurde mit ihrer Schwester Hanni aus einer Tötungsstation gerettet und im Tierheim aufgenommen. Beide waren sehr verängstigt, suchten stets Schutz beieinander und gaben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Tilda Menschen gegenüber weiterhin sehr unsicher. In neuen Situationen hält sie zunächst Abstand, zieht sich häufig in ihre Hütte zurück und beobachtet alles aus sicherer Entfernung. Mit Geduld wird sie ruhiger und wagt sich manchmal etwas näher heran, lässt sich derzeit jedoch noch nicht anfassen. Mit ihrer Zwingerpartnerin lebt sie problemlos zusammen. Ihr Charakter wird sich in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten immer weiter ausbilden – zu diesem Zeitpunkt sind nur die Anfänge zu erkennen. Wenn du mehr Informationen zu dieser Fellnase haben möchtest, schreib gern unserem Vermittlungsteam . Für Tilda suchen wir ein ruhiges, erfahrenes Zuhause ohne Erwartungen an eine schnelle Annäherung. Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihr als Orientierung helfen. Ihre hundeerfahrenen Menschen sollten Hundesprache gut lesen können und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Welpen sollten nicht im Tierheim aufwachsen müssen. Deshalb suchen wir dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine erfahrene Pflegestelle für diese kleine Fellnase – einen Ort, an dem sie die Welt entdecken, Vertrauen aufbauen und einfach Hundekind sein darf. Wer einen Welpen adoptiert, sollte sich bewusst machen, wie fordernd der Alltag mit einem jungen Hund sein kann: Kaum ist die Stubenreinheit geschafft, steht oft schon die „wilde Pubertät“ an – voller Energie, Unsicherheiten und neuer Herausforderungen. Die ersten Lebensjahre sind eine aufregende Reise, die Mensch und Hund gemeinsam gehen – mit Höhen, Tiefen und jeder Menge Lernmomente. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen mit Geduld, Empathie und Durchhaltevermögen – und mit dem Verständnis dafür, dass Tierschutzhunde oft bereits eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wie genau sie auf das neue Leben in Deutschland reagieren, lässt sich nie vollständig vorhersagen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Tilda

What life with Tilda looks like

Tilda is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Tilda, answered.

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