How do I contact the shelter about Wanda?

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

Can I adopt Wanda if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Herne-Wanne 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 Wanda 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 Wanda 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 Tierheim Herne-Wanne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wanda 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.

Wanda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Wanda is a loving, affectionate and very active female dog who enjoys being around her humans. She is a real whirlwind and still has much to learn about what is required for a relaxed dog life. In contact with other dogs, Wanda is initially a bit uncertain and finds her counterpart a bit overwhelming at first. Once she has gotten used to the other dog, however, she quickly shows her playful side and wants to romp around and discover the world together. We are looking for people who enjoy working with her and giving her security and orientation with calmness, patience and clear rules. Attending a dog school would be highly recommended for her. Due to her high energy, children in the new home should already be somewhat older and steady. Wanda could easily knock over smaller children with her boisterous nature and her unrestrained behavior. Wanda needs people who are up to her temperament and at the same time show her that not always full throttle is required in dog life.

Bitte den Text lesen Wanda ist eine liebe, verschmuste und sehr aktive Hündin, die ihre Menschen gerne um sich hat. Sie ist ein echter Wirbelwind und muss noch vieles lernen, was zu einem entspannten Hundeleben dazugehört. Im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden ist Wanda zunächst etwas unsicher und findet ihr Gegenüber erst einmal gewöhnungsbedürftig. Hat sie sich an den anderen Hund gewöhnt, zeigt sie sich jedoch schnell spielfreudig und möchte gerne toben und gemeinsam die Welt entdecken. Für Wanda suchen wir Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mit ihr zu arbeiten und ihr mit Ruhe, Geduld und klaren Regeln Sicherheit und Orientierung zu geben. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule wäre für sie sehr empfehlenswert. Aufgrund ihrer hohen Energie sollten Kinder im neuen Zuhause bereits etwas älter und standfest sein. Kleinere Kinder könnte Wanda durch ihre stürmische Art und ihr ungestümes Verhalten schnell einmal umwerfen. Wanda braucht Menschen, die ihrem Temperament gewachsen sind und ihr gleichzeitig zeigen, dass im Hundeleben nicht immer Vollgas angesagt ist.

About Wanda

What life with Wanda looks like

Wanda is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

An young 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.
