Vivian

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Manchmal beginnt ein Leben alles andere als leicht… Vivian wurde gemeinsam mit ihren vier Geschwistern in einem verlassenen Dorf geboren. Dort lebten nur noch ein älteres Paar und ihre Hunde. Als ihre Mama aufgrund einer Beinverletzung verschwand, blieben die Welpen allein zurück. Zum Glück konnten die fünf Geschwister rechtzeitig in Sicherheit gebracht werden. Wären sie dort geblieben, hätten sie kaum eine Chance gehabt – niemand hätte ihnen Futter oder Wasser geben können. Heute ist Vivian etwa 7 Monate alt (Stand 09.2026), läuft bereits gut an der Leine und wird vermutlich mittelgroß werden. Ihre Mama war eher klein, den Papa kennen wir leider nicht. Ein Bruder durfte bereits in sein eigenes Zuhause ziehen. Jetzt wartet Vivian gemeinsam mit ihren drei Geschwistern darauf, ebenfalls ihre eigene Familie zu finden. Schenkst du Vivian die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause? Wenn Vivian ausreist, ist sie geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt, hat alle tierärztlichen Voruntersuchungen und einen aktuellen Mittelmeertest. Achtung: Ein Hund zeigt sich im Tierheim oft anders als dann im neuen Zuhause – Rückschritte sind nicht unüblich. Es bedarf viel Liebe und Geduld von Euch. Bitte adoptiert nur, wenn Ihr Euch dessen bewusst und bereit seid, sein Leben lang für ihn Verantwortung zu tragen. "Rassenbestimmung durch rein optische Merkmale"

About Vivian

What life with Vivian looks like

Vivian is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehoffnung-Berlin 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vivian, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vivian?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehoffnung-Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vivian on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vivian if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehoffnung-Berlin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Vivian 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 Vivian 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 Hundehoffnung-Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vivian 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.
