How do I contact the shelter about Victor?

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

Can I adopt Victor if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Victor 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 Victor 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Victor 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 Victor

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around 2019 Gender: male neutered: yes Character: very shy Size: approx. 40 cm In shelter since: June 2020 Siblings: Brother Oskar H (Mother Peaches – already relocated) Hello, I am Victor, yes, the one who would hide behind my braver brother Oskar at the first opportunity. I’ve managed to do that well so far. Behind my more daring brother and my buddies, I feel most comfortable. I would love to be invisible. But now, my caretakers say that I deserve a better home and need someone to help me adjust to real life. That’s why I’m making my debut here today. In the shelter, I can’t bring myself out. That much is certain. The enclosure walls don’t allow for nice walks, exciting outings, and there are simply not enough opportunities to get used to people. Moments of attention are always too short, as there are so many here who want to be fed and stroked. That I don’t know life in a family, you can imagine. The stairs, house and garden noises, walking on a leash, and much more unsettle me for sure. If you are ready to show me all these things with time and patience and give me a place in your heart, I will orient myself to you and do my best to master the challenges! Of course, a confident only dog could help. If you are interested in Victor, please fill out our interest form or send us an email or a message on Facebook. Victor is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship for Victor has been taken over by Jamie F., and thus ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: ca. 2019 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: sehr schüchtern Größe: ca. 40 cm Im Shelter seit: Juni 2020 Verwandte: Bruder Oskar H (Mutter Peaches – bereits ausgereist) Hallo, ich bin es Victor, ja, der, der sich am liebsten hinter seinem Bruder Oskar verstecken würde. Genau das habe ich bisher auch immer gut geschafft. Hinter meinem mutigeren Bruder und meinen Kumpels fühle ich mich am wohlsten. Am allerliebsten wäre ich unsichtbar. Doch nun das: Meine Pfleger sagen, auch ich hätte ein besseres Zuhause verdient und bräuchte dringend einen Menschen, der es sich zur Aufgabe macht, mich an das echte Leben zu gewöhnen. Deshalb habe ich ab heute hier meinen Auftritt. Im Shelter schaffe ich es nicht, aus mir heraus zu kommen. So viel ist gewiss. Die Wände des Zwingers erlauben keine schönen Spaziergänge, keine spannenden Ausflüge und es gibt zu wenig Gelegenheiten, sich an den Menschen zu gewöhnen. Die Momente der Aufmerksamkeit sind stets zu kurz, es sind einfach so viele hier, die versorgt und gestreichelt werden wollen. Dass ich das Leben in einer Familie nicht kenne, kannst Du Dir denken. Das Treppensteigen, die Geräusche im Haus und Garten, das Laufen an der Leine und vieles mehr verunsichern mich bestimmt. Wenn Du bereit bist, mir mit Zeit und Geduld all die Dinge zu zeigen und dazu noch einen Platz in Deinem Herzen schenkst, werde ich mich an Dir orientieren und mir große Mühe geben, die Herausforderungen zu meistern! Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte natürlich dabei helfen. Wenn Sie Interesse an Victor haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Victor ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Victor hat Jamie F. übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Victor

What life with Victor looks like

Victor is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
