How do I contact the shelter about VAIANA?

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

Can I adopt VAIANA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tier-Not-Hilfe 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 VAIANA 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 VAIANA 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 Tier-Not-Hilfe early rather than rehoming privately; they know VAIANA 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.

VAIANA

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 4 years

VAIANA - injured in dire need! - Belgian Shepherd, approx. 4 years old, born around May 5th, 2022, vaccinated, chipped, spayed/neutered, EU passport. - Waiting in France - VAIANA is a Belgian Shepherd estimated to be just 4 years old. From the beginning, she has been very friendly towards people, very affectionate and received basic training. With females, she doesn't want to cuddle (well, you can't expect that from every dog), but on walks on a leash, she pays more attention to her human. Due to space constraints in the animal shelter (they try to avoid euthanasia), she has shared a kennel with another male several times. Even at the food bowl, there were no problems. However, tensions gradually arose when living with the friendly SCOUBIDOO, and it went well for a long time with a smaller black Staffordshire Bull Terrier (he was previously considered the incompatible dog), but yesterday, a serious fight broke out. VAIANA is now in the clinic. The smaller Staffie has no injuries, which speaks for itself. VAIANA underwent surgery yesterday and must now return to the station with this severe injury. I must say it again: we are not talking about a German animal shelter with a hospital ward, but about a kennel facility with unheated huts (which we purchased; otherwise, there would only be a wooden board). We are therefore urgently looking for a place for VAIANA that is clean and warm where she can recover. She should not be left unsupervised with another dog. We believe she can live with a male in the long term, but an individual place would be even better, preferably with contact to other dogs. However, what's most important to her is close interaction with people, where she is also challenged according to her breed. She does not come from a working line, but she is no couch potato either. A Belgian Shepherd wants to please; he usually doesn't even need treats, he must understand what the human wants and then will try everything to be praised. VAIANA needs both a place and donations for veterinary costs. - WHO WILL HELP VAIANA? - Info and contact Ingrid Belz - email: - T: - www.joshi2.de We grant data release to all persons involved in animal welfare.

VAIANA - nach Verletzung in großer Not ! - Belg. SH, ca. 4 J., geb.ca.05.06.2022, geimpft, gechippt, kastriert, EU-Paß. - Wartet in Frankreich - VAIANA ist eine gerade mal auf 4 Jahre geschätzte Belgische Schäferhündin. Von Anfang hat sie sich sehr freundlich gegenüber Menschen gezeigt, sehr verschmust und Anfangserziehung gibt es auch. Mit Hündinnen will sie wohl nicht schmusen (naja, das kann man auch nicht von jedem Hund erwarten), aber beim Spaziergang an der Leine achtet sie mehr auf ihren Menschen. Wegen des Platzmangels in der Fourriere (man versucht, ohne Tötungen auszukommen) hat sie sich mehrfach den Zwinger mit einem anderen Rüden geteilt. Selbst am Napf gab es dabei keine Probleme. Aber bereits beim Zusammenleben mit dem freundlichen SCOUBIDOO gab es nach und nach Spannungen, mit einem kleineren schwarzen Staffi ging es lange Zeit gut (da galt er als der ehemals unverträgliche Hund), aber vorgestern kam es zu einer schlimmen Beißerei. VAIANA ist seitdem in der Klinik. Der kleinere Staffie hat keine Verletzungen, das spricht für sich. VAIANA wurde gestern operiert und muss nun mit dieser schlimmen Verletzung wieder zurück in die Station. Ich muss es wieder mal ganz deutlich sagen: wir sprechen nicht von einem deutschen Tierheim, mit Krankenstation, sondern von einer Zwingeranlage mit unbeheizbaren Hütten (die wir gekauft haben, sonst gäbe es nur ein Holzbrett). Wir suchen daher nun GANZ DRINGEND für VAIANA einen Platz, sauber, warm, wo sie genesen kann. Ohne Kontrolle sollte sie nicht mit einem anderen Hund zusammen sein. Wir glauben, dass sie auf Dauer mit einem Rüden zusammen leben kann, aber noch lieber wäre uns ein Einzelplatz, gerne aber mit Kontakt zu anderen Hunden. Noch wichtiger ist ihr aber das enge Zusammenleben mit Menschen, wo sie auch rassetypisch gefordert wird. Sie entstammt keiner Arbeitslinie, aber sie ist auch kein reiner Couchpotato. Ein belgischer Schäferhund möchte gefallen, er braucht meist noch nicht mal Leckerlis, er muss verstehen, was Mensch möchte, dann wird er alles versuchen, um gelobt zu werden. VAIANA braucht sowohl einen Platz als auch Spenden für die Tierarztkosten. - WER HILFT VAIANA ? - Info u.

About VAIANA

What life with VAIANA looks like

VAIANA is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tier-Not-Hilfe in Germany.

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.
