Astra

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hallöchen, mein Name ist Astra – eigentlich Mama-Astra. Warum? Ich kann mit meinen 2 Jahren schon eine traurige Geschichte erzählen. Auch ich hatte einmal eine Familie, bis ich von einem fremden Rüden trächtig wurde, weil meine Familie mich nicht kastriert hatte und ich an der Kette leben musste. Hochträchtig wurde ich vor dem Tierheimtor des slowakischen Tierheims ausgesetzt und habe dann 2 Welpen bekommen. Ich hatte nun das Glück und durfte in die Tierherberge der Tierfreunde reisen und warte nun auf ihren Besuch. Jeden Tag schaue ich durch die Gitterstäbe und hoffe auf tierliebe Menschen, die mich lieb haben und bei denen ich alles vergessen kann. Wo ich ein Körbchen habe, immer genügend Futter und natürlich ganz viele Streicheleinheiten. Wenn ich nach 2-3 Tagen etwas Vertrauen zu meinen Menschen aufgebaut habe, bin ich eine liebe, kuschelbedürftige und sanftmütige Hündin. Fremden gegenüber bin ich allerdings die ersten 1-2 Tage gegenüber skeptisch und schauen ob sie es gut mir meinen. Deshalb suche ich ein ruhiges, entspanntes Zuhause ohne Kinder und mit wenig Besuch (bzw. bin ich dann lieber in einem separaten Raum). Mit Rüden verstehe ich mich sehr gut, hätte aber auch gegen einen Einzelplatz nichts einzuwenden. Wenn Sie ein Hundefreund sind und mich mit Leckerlies bestechen, dann fremdel ich bestimmt nicht lang und wir werden ein Top-Team.

About Astra

What life with Astra looks like

Astra is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Chemnitz in Chemnitz.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Astra, answered.

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