How do I contact the shelter about Asja?

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

Can I adopt Asja if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Starnberg 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 Asja 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 Asja 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 Tierheim Starnberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Asja 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.

Asja

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Gender: female dog (neutered) Age: ca. 2–3 years Height: ca. 40 cm Weight: ca. 11 kg Origin: Ukraine Residence: foster home in Gestratz (Allgäu) Health: fit, no known limitations Asja is a sensitive, cautious, and initially very reserved female dog that needs time to build trust. She shows no aggression but reacts with avoidance when feeling uncertain. Loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar things still unsettle her, but with patience, she learns quickly and gains increasing security. With familiar people, she is gentle, clingy, and enjoys proximity. In everyday life, Asja is uncomplicated: she is reliably house-trained, remains calm when alone, is office-friendly, and travels comfortably in the car. On the leash, she walks well, but free-running is not yet possible. With other dogs, she is compatible after getting used to each other, but prefers quiet, smaller dogs; a confident second dog can help her. She is initially shy with people but builds bonds and is more open to women. Cats are no problem. Asja shows some hunting interest but is easily approachable. She enjoys being outdoors, runs problem-free on longer walks, and is pleasant to be with. A quiet, stable home with patient, preferably experienced people is sought, ideally in rural surroundings with a securely fenced garden. Important are time, structure, and empathy. Asja is not a beginner dog but develops into a very loyal and loving companion with the right guidance and patience. Contact: 📞 📞 Viola (preferably via WhatsApp)

Geschlecht: Hündin (kastriert) Alter: ca. 2–3 Jahre Größe: ca. 40 cm Gewicht: ca. 11 kg Herkunft: Ukraine Aufenthalt: Pflegestelle in Gestratz (Allgäu) Gesundheit: fit, keine bekannten Einschränkungen Asja ist eine sensible, vorsichtige und anfangs sehr zurückhaltende Hündin, die Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Sie zeigt dabei keinerlei Aggression, sondern reagiert bei Unsicherheit eher ausweichend. Laute Geräusche, schnelle Bewegungen und unbekannte Dinge verunsichern sie noch, doch mit Geduld lernt sie schnell und gewinnt zunehmend an Sicherheit. Bei vertrauten Menschen zeigt sie sich sanft, anhänglich und genießt Nähe. Im Alltag ist Asja unkompliziert: Sie ist zuverlässig stubenrein, bleibt ruhig alleine, ist bürotauglich und fährt entspannt im Auto mit. An der Leine läuft sie gut, Freilauf ist aktuell noch nicht möglich. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie nach Eingewöhnung gut verträglich, bevorzugt jedoch ruhige, kleinere Hunde; ein souveräner Zweithund kann ihr helfen. Menschen gegenüber ist sie anfangs schüchtern, baut aber Bindung auf und ist Frauen gegenüber offener. Katzen sind kein Problem. Asja zeigt etwas Jagdinteresse, ist aber gut ansprechbar. Sie ist gerne draußen unterwegs, läuft problemlos auch längere Spaziergänge und ist dabei angenehm ausgeglichen. Gesucht wird ein ruhiges, stabiles Zuhause bei geduldigen, möglichst erfahrenen Menschen, idealerweise in ländlicher Umgebung, gern mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten. Wichtig sind Zeit, Struktur und Einfühlungsvermögen. Asja ist kein Anfängerhund, entwickelt sich mit der richtigen Führung und Geduld jedoch zu einer sehr loyalen und liebevollen Begleiterin.

About Asja

What life with Asja looks like

Asja is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Starnberg in Starnberg.

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.
