Marlene

Mixed Breed · Female

neutered: No yet, too small Rasse: mixed breed (currently still small, will likely be medium-sized) compatibility with others: Yes; Cats: Cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Marlene came to the shelter with other young puppies from a neglected husbandry situation. In the shelter, she lives in a mixed pack and learns to interact with fellow animals and show social behavior from an early age. She is a rather quiet female dog who doesn't seek the spotlight. She is a small, delicate soul who hopefully gets to grow up in a stable home and not in a Turkish shelter. Since she hasn't learned much yet, one should build everything with her in peace: leash manners, house training, basic commands. The little one will surely develop into a great female dog.

Hat eine Patin: Cordula R. Kastriert: Noch zu klein Rasse: Mischling (derzeit noch klein, wird vermutlich mittelgroß) Verträglichkeit: Ja; Katzen: Kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Marlene kam gemeinsam mit anderen Junghunden aus einer verwahrlosten Haltung. In der Auffangstation lebt sie in einem gemischten Rudel und lernt so schon früh, Kontakt zu Artgenossen aufzunehmen und Sozialverhalten zu zeigen. Sie ist eine eher ruhige Hündin, die sich nicht in den Vordergrund stellt. Sie ist eine kleine zarte Seele, die hoffentlich in einem stabilen Zuhause aufwachsen darf und nicht in einer türkischen Auffangstation. Da sie noch nichts kennengelernt hat, sollte man mit ihr in Ruhe alles aufbauen: Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit, Grundkommandos. Die Kleine wird sich ganz sicher zu einer tollen Hündin entwickeln.

About Marlene

What life with Marlene looks like

Marlene is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marlene, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marlene?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marlene on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marlene if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Marlene 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 Marlene 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marlene 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.
