Then contact Helfende Hände e.V. directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Helfende Hände e.V. handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Helfende Hände e.V. typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is Helfende Hände e.V. a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Helfende Hände e.V. is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Helfende Hände e.V.?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Helfende Hände e.V. directly. Typical fees in Germany cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Helfende Hände e.V. via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
