Weihnachtsgrüße von Teddy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

From Teddy's family in Leipzig, we received these Christmas greetings: "Dear Mrs. Zille, dear colleagues of Horka Animal Shelter, Teddy and his family the Hedgehogs from Leipzig wish you, your family, and all your four-legged friends a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year 2018. Teddy is very happy. He celebrated his birthday on December 10, 2017, with his Akita friend Tai Chi and his family (see pictures). Teddy does not forget you and your four-legged friends and has given the hardworking Santa Claus an important assignment: each of his friends should please receive a small gift for Christmas. We thank you for your trust. Our/your Teddy gives our family a lot of warmth and love. We all love him. All people who have the opportunity should/can give a new happy home to an animal from the animal shelters. You will get a lot of love in return. We are happy and glad that we have our Teddy. Warm regards from us, with a heartfelt thank you. The Hedgehog family from Leipzig"

About Weihnachtsgrüße von Teddy

What life with Weihnachtsgrüße von Teddy looks like

Weihnachtsgrüße von Teddy is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Horka in Horka.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Weihnachtsgrüße von Teddy, answered.

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