Trudi

French Bulldog · Female · Senior · 10 years

Trudi was abandoned on the autobahn. The small female dog was severely underweight and the rest of her looked poor. A food allergy was diagnosed, and she requires special food and a medication every four weeks. Trudi shows no distance when interacting with people at the animal shelter and needs clear rules. She becomes very frustrated with dog encounters, but we are working on her issue. We are looking for bully friends who are familiar with her breed.

Trudi wurde an der Autobahn ausgesetzt. Die kleine Hündin war völlig abgemagert und auch der Rest von ihr sah nicht gut aus. Bei ihr wurde eine Futtermittelallergie festgestellt dafür benötigt sie ein Speziallfutter und alle 4Wochen ein Medikament. Trudi zeigt sich hier im Tierheim zu Menschen etwas distanzlos und braucht klare Regeln. Bei Hundebegegnung wird sie sehr schnell frustig, wir arbeiten aber an ihrem Problem. Wir suchen Bully Freunde, die sich mit der Rasse auskennen.

About Trudi

What life with Trudi looks like

Trudi is a medium-sized senior french bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

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 Trudi, answered.

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