Adopt Bimba

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Dear animal lovers, today I would like to introduce myself to you: My name is Bimba and in my previous life, I unfortunately could not only collect beautiful memories. I was found by Spanish animal protectors when I was searching for something edible in a village near some trash containers. At first, they thought there must be puppies nearby since I look like I am nursing – but that's not the case. There were only me. However, I have had to nurse puppies many times in my previous life – and that can be seen from my body. I always thought I was just an unremarkable female dog and nothing special. But here at the animal shelter, I often hear how beautiful a little mouse I am and what beautiful eyes I have. Here, I am often petted, which really pleases me. I must say that it is much better for me here than with my previous owner. By now, I have also been to the vet and got my vaccinations up to date – because my previous owner did not take care of that. After being at the animal shelter for a while, he came and wanted to take me back. But he had no papers and could not prove that I belonged to him. So I did not go back to him and I was very relieved. Here, I am in safety and do not have to starve or search for food in the trash anymore. But you know – I have heard that there are many animal-loving people out there who are looking for a friendly dog to give a home to. It would be simply dreamy if I could find such people who would give me a warm, cozy dog bed, take me for walks every day, and have the understanding that I need some time to settle into a new environment.

Liebe Tierfreunde, heute möchte ich mich gern bei euch vorstellen: Mein Name ist Bimba und in meinem bisherigen Leben habe ich leider nicht nur schöne Erinnerungen sammeln können. Ich wurde von den spanischen Tierschützern gefunden, als ich in einem Dorf bei ein paar Müllcontainern etwas Essbares suchte. Erst dachten sie, dass sicher Welpen in meiner Nähe sein müssten, denn ich sehe so aus, als würde ich gerade stillen – aber das stimmt nicht. Es gab nur mich. Allerdings habe ich in meinem bisherigen Leben schon oft Welpen bekommen müssen – und das sieht man meinem Körper an. Ich dachte immer ich bin eine unscheinbare Hündin und nichts Besonderes. Aber hier im Tierheim höre ich ganz oft, was für ein hübsches Mäuschen ich bin und was ich für wunderschöne Augen habe. Hier werde ich auch oft gestreichelt, was mir wirklich sehr gefällt. Ich muss sagen, dass es mir hier viel besser geht, als bei meinem Vorbesitzer. Mittlerweile war ich auch beim Tierarzt und habe meine Impfungen aufgefrischt – denn darum hat sich mein Vorbesitzer auch nicht gekümmert. Als ich eine Weile im Tierheim war, kam er und wollte mich zurück. Doch er besaß keine Papiere und konnte gar nicht nachweisen, dass ich ihm gehörte. So kam ich nicht zu ihm zurück und da war ich sehr erleichtert. Hier bin ich in Sicherheit und muss nie wieder Hunger leiden und im Müll nach Futter suchen. Aber wisst ihr – ich habe gehört, dass es da draußen viele tierliebe Menschen gibt, die auf der Suche nach einem freundlichen Hund sind, dem sie ein Zuhause schenken können. Das wäre einfach traumhaft schön, wenn ich solche Menschen finden könnte, die mir ein warmes, gemütliches Körbchen schenken, die jeden Tag mit mir spazieren gehen und die Verständnis dafür haben, dass ich ein wenig Zeit brauche, um mich in einer neuen Umgebung einzuleben.

About Bimba

What life with Bimba looks like

Bimba is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bimba, answered.

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