Willi &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Willi was rescued from Ancsa's overcrowded euthanasia facility. Originally, she was there to pick up three other dogs, but when she saw the friendly little gem, she took him along as well. We don't know why Willi ended up in the euthanasia facility. In any case, no one had been looking for the puppy, and no one wanted to adopt him. At the animal shelter, Willi shows his best side. He is very loving, cheerful, and full of life, and he simply enjoys when someone takes care of him. Willi also gets along well with other dogs. We hope that the little whirlwind will soon enchant a person and be allowed to travel to a loving home. Willi still has a lot to learn, but with the right support, it will certainly not be difficult for him. Willi tested negative for heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Lyme disease, and Anaplasmosis during the routine check.

DE·Show original

Willi wurde von Ancsa aus der überfüllten Tötung gerettet. Eigentlich war sie dort, um drei andere Hunde abzuholen, aber als sie den freundlichen kleinen Schatz sah, nahm sie ihn auch noch mit. Warum Willi in der Tötung gelandet ist, wissen wir nicht. Jedenfalls hatte niemand nach dem Jungspund gesucht und niemand wollte ihn adoptieren. Im Tierheim zeigt Willi sich von seiner besten Seite. Er ist sehr lieb, fröhlich und lebenslustig und freut sich einfach nur, wenn sich ein Mensch um ihn kümmert. Mit anderen Hunden versteht Willi sich auch gut. Wir hoffen, dass der kleine Wirbelwind rasch einen Menschen verzaubert und in ein liebevolles Zuhause reisen darf. Willi muss noch einiges Lernen, aber mit der richtigen Unterstützung wird ihm das bestimmt nicht schwer fallen. Willi wurde beim Routinecheck negativ auf Herzwurm, Ehrlichiose, Babesiose, Borreliose und Anaplasmose getestet.

About Willi &#8211

What life with Willi &#8211 looks like

Willi &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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 Willi &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Willi &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Willi &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Willi &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fellfreunde 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 Willi &#8211 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 Willi &#8211 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 Fellfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Willi &#8211 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.
