How do I contact the shelter about Ursel?

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

Can I adopt Ursel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Ursel 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 Ursel 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 Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ursel 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.

Ursel

German Shepherd · Female

I am Ursel and I was found. I love people and look forward to a home with a dog-experienced owner in a quiet residential area. This is me: I love to snuggle and have my humans around me. But I also love just lying outside and observing what's going on around me. That's why a house with a yard would be the ultimate dream. In terms of training, I haven't learned much so far. When I get excited and get worked up, I sometimes snap at the leash or at hands. That's not meant to be bad, but it shows that I still need to learn to better handle my excitement. For that, I need people who can guide me calmly and confidently. I'm looking for an experienced home in a quiet, low-stimulation residential area - preferably ground-level, as I already have joint problems. Children can live with me in principle, but they should already have experience with dogs and respect my boundaries. If you want to give a cuddly female dog with some catching up to do in terms of training a quiet and loving home, I look forward to getting to know you. Contact me via the inquiry form below or by phone at Benji-Haus (daily 13-16 except Saturdays).

DE·Show original

Ich bin Ursel und ich wurde gefunden. Menschen finde ich toll und freue mich auf ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause in ruhiger Wohngegend. Das bin ich: Ich bin verkuschelt und habe meine Menschen gern um mich. Aber ich liebe es zum Beispiel auch, einfach draußen zu liegen und zu beobachten, was um mich herum passiert. Deshalb wäre ein Haus mit Grundstück natürlich der absolute Jackpot. In Sachen Erziehung habe ich bisher offenbar nicht besonders viel gelernt. Wenn ich aufgeregt bin und hochdrehe, schnappe ich auch mal in die Leine oder nach Händen. Das ist nicht böse gemeint, zeigt aber, dass ich noch lernen muss, mit meiner Aufregung besser umzugehen. Dafür brauche ich Menschen, die mich ruhig und sicher anleiten. Ich wünsche mir ein erfahrenes Zuhause in einer ruhigen, reizarmen Wohngegend – am besten ebenerdig, da ich schon Gelenkprobleme habe. Kinder können grundsätzlich mit mir zusammenleben, sollten aber schon Erfahrung im Umgang mit Hunden haben und meine Grenzen respektieren. Wenn du einer verschmusten Hündin mit etwas Nachholbedarf in Sachen Erziehung ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause geben möchtest, freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Melde dich über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Benji-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Ursel

What life with Ursel looks like

Ursel is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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.
