Adopt Wilma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The approximately 1-year-old female dog was chained as a puppy on a farm and was taken in by an animal rescuer in Bulgaria in summer 2025. She was tied with a belt around her neck. Wilma is friendly with people. She gets along well with all dogs and cats. She is due to arrive with us in Heilbronn on May 23, 2026. For the nice female dog, we are looking for people who can dedicate enough time and patience to raising a young puppy and attending dog training classes with her. A detailed description and current pictures will follow soon. Are you interested? Then arrange a meeting for a get-to-know session right away!

Die 11 Monate alte Hündin wurde als Welpe angekettet auf einem Hof gehalten und im Sommer 2025 von einer Tierschützerin in Bulgarien aufgenommen. Sie war mit einem Gürtel um den Hals angebunden. Wilma zeigt sich freundlich mit Menschen, bei Fremden ist sie anfangs noch etwas zurückhaltend. Sie ist mit allen Hunden und Katzen gut verträglich. Sie kommt am 23.05.2026 zu uns nach Heilbronn. Für die nette Hündin suchen wir Menschen, die genügend Zeit und Geduld aufbringen können einen jungen Hund zu erziehen und mit ihr eine Hundeschule besuchen. Eine genaue Beschreibung und aktuelle Bilder folgen in Kürze.

About Wilma

What life with Wilma looks like

Wilma is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Wilma, answered.

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