How do I contact the shelter about Ylva?

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

Can I adopt Ylva if I live in another country?

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

Ylva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Ylva is a male dog, approximately 41-49cm tall and weighing 10-14kg, estimated to have been born in August 2024. He has been at the shelter since August 2026. Ylva is a friendly and affectionate dog, looking for a forever home. He is a Gnadenplatz dog, meaning he has a disability. Watch Ylva in a video here! Ylva is looking for a cozy home! Ylva previously lived in a private shelter in Romania, run by a German couple. The shelter was located in a natural setting surrounded by forests, with spacious enclosures where the dogs lived together in large groups. However, over time, the number of animals increased, and the shelter was unable to provide adequate care and support for all the dogs. The shelter's operators turned to us for help and asked for support in finding new homes for the dogs.

About Ylva

What life with Ylva looks like

Ylva is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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.
