Vilma

Mixed Breed · Female

All alone, she was roaming the streets and was thankfully found. The animal welfare workers suspect that Vilma was used for hunting and either didn't hear the recall or has a tendency to run away. An overworked Pointer is a roundly sympathetic and clever dog. He is very loyal to his pack and friendly to people and animals. Pointers are not particularly territorial and, due to their open nature, are not necessarily suitable as guard dogs. This breed readily follows the lead of humans but is not submissive. Of course, the four-legged friends should live directly in the house and must not be kept in a pen. Vilma is very affectionate and shows no fear and is well-suited as a "only dog."

DE·Show original

Alleine war sie in den Straßen unterwegs und wurde Gott sei Dank gefunden. Die Tierschützer vermuten das Vilma zur Jagd eingesetzt wurde, und den Rückruf nicht gehört hatte oder eine Tendenz zum weglaufen hat. Ein ausgelasteter Pointer ist ein rundum sympathischer und kluger Hund. Er ist sehr loyal gegenüber seinem Rudel und freundlich zu Menschen und Tier. Pointer sind wenig territorial und auch aufgrund ihres offenen Wesens nicht unbedingt als Wachhunde geeignet. Diese Rasse richtet sich gerne nach den Menschen, ist dabei aber nicht unterwürfig. Selbstverständlich sollten die Vierbeiner direkt im Haus leben und gehören keinesfalls in eine Zwingerhaltung. Vilma ist sehr liebevoll und zeigt keine Angst und ist gut als „Ersthund“ geeignet.

About Vilma

What life with Vilma looks like

Vilma is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vilma, answered.

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