How do I contact the shelter about Weny?

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

Can I adopt Weny if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde Patras 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 Weny 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 Weny 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 Tierfreunde Patras e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Weny 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.

Weny

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Weny lives in a pension in Patras / Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! female dog/spayed born. ca January 2023Size: ca 38 cm Weny is a small spayed female dog who lived for months along a motorway and a heavily trafficked country road. Maria and her colleagues tried constantly to catch the mouse and bring her to safety, as Weny was abandoned with great dangers. With infinite patience and many failed attempts, the animal welfare workers finally managed to secure Weny. She was taken to the vet, where she was vaccinated, microchipped, and also neutered. It is quite clear that Weny had puppies that were probably simply taken away from her. Due to her life on the streets, Weny is still very shy, but can already be stroked. Thanks to a loving "patron uncle," Weny can now live in a pension where she will learn that dog life can also be beautiful. Of course, Weny knows absolutely nothing and must be introduced to the beautiful dog life with extreme patience, empathy, and love. For Weny, we are looking for dog-experienced people who can give her love and time to adapt to her new world. Breed-wise, Weny can potentially have a prey drive, which is why we absolutely recommend a safety harness. Weny was vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed upon her arrival. Additionally, she naturally brings her own EU pet passport with her when she arrives in Germany.

Weny lebt in einer Pension in Patras / Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Hündin/kastriertgeb. ca Januar 2023Grösse : ca 38 cm Weny ist eine kleine Gekashündin, die monatelang an einer Autobahn und stark befahrenen Landstraße lebte. Maria und ihre Kolleginnen versuchten die ganze Zeit, die Maus einzufangen und in Sicherheit zu bringen, da Weny großen Gefahren ausgesetzt war. Mit unendlicher Geduld und vielen missglückten Versuchen gelang es den Tierschützerinnen letztendlich, Weny zu sichern. Sie wurde zur Tierärztin gebracht, wo sie geimpft, gechipt und auch kastriert wurde. Ganz offensichtlich hat Weny Welpen gehabt, die man ihr wahrscheinlich einfach weggenommen hat. Durch das Leben auf den Straßen ist Weny noch sehr scheu, lässt sich aber bereits streicheln. Dank eines lieben „Patenonkels“ darf Weny nun in einer Pension leben, wo sie lernen wird, dass das Hundeleben auch schön sein kann. Natürlich kennt Weny absolut gar nichts und muss mit extrem viel Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und Liebe an das schöne Hundeleben herangeführt werden. Für Weny suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihr Liebe und Zeit schenken, um in der neuen Welt anzukommen. Rassebedingt kann Weny durchaus einen Jagdtrieb haben oder entwickeln, weshalb wir unbedingt zu einem Sicherheitsgeschirr raten. Weny ist bei ihrer Einreise geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Außerdem bringt sie natürlich auch ihren eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis mit, wenn sie in Deutschland ankommt.

About Weny

What life with Weny looks like

Weny is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
