How do I contact the shelter about Vicky?

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

Can I adopt Vicky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Osterode 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 Vicky 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 Vicky 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 Tierschutz Osterode early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vicky 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.

Adopt Vicky

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Vicky Breed: Keeshond Mix Age: 29.05.2017 Gender: female dog (spayed) In the animal shelter since: 31.03.2023 Our enchanting Vicky is a lively, people-oriented female dog who can also be quite challenging at times. Unfortunately, Vicky has already experienced losing her family multiple times and thus became a "wandering trophy." We do not want this to happen again, so we are looking for experienced dog owners who can read, assess, and handle her responsibly. The pretty lady can be quite stubborn; when Vicky doesn't want something, she really doesn't want it. She will show and use her beautiful white teeth, and if necessary, with emphasis. However, she is neither a "bad" nor a "dangerous" dog. No one can say exactly what happened in Vicky's past or when she first started showing her typical behavioral patterns, but she originally comes from abroad. She gets along well with other dogs (depending on her liking) outdoors, and social walks are no problem. However, Vicky prefers to be a solitary princess.

Vicky Rasse: Wolfsspitz Mix Alter: 29.05.2017 Geschlecht: Hündin (kastriert) Im Tierheim seit: 31.03.2023 Unsere zauberhafte Vicky ist eine lebensfrohe, Menschen zugewandte Hündin die aber auch nicht ganz einfach sein kann. Leider musste auch Vicky in ihrem Leben schon einige Male die Erfahrung machen ihre Familie zu verlieren und wurde somit zum „Wanderpokal“. Das soll ihr nicht mehr passieren daher suchen wir für Vicky erfahrene Hundehalter, die sie lesen, einschätzen und verantwortungsvoll Händeln können. Die hübsche Hundedame kann recht stur sein, denn was Vicky nicht möchte das möchte sie nicht. Da werden dann auch schon mal ihre schönen weißen Zähnchen gezeigt und eingesetzt, wenn es sein muss auch mit Nachdruck. Trotzdem ist sie weder ein „böser“, noch ein „gemeingefährlicher“ Hund. Was genau in Vickys Vergangenheit passiert ist, bzw. wann sie ihre typischen Verhaltensmuster das erste mal gezeigt hat kann leider keiner so genau sagen, ursprünglich kommt sie aber wohl aus dem Ausland. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie (je nach Sympathie) draußen ganz gut zurecht, Social Walks sind kein Problem. Am liebsten ist Vicky aber eine Einzelprinzessin.

About Vicky

What life with Vicky looks like

Vicky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Osterode in Germany.

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.
