Carmela

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Carmela – Snuggle Cat with Heart and Power Despite the stress and chaos at Carmela's animal shelter, she suffers greatly. Her stress and unease are visibly taking a toll on her. When things get hectic around her, she displays stereotypical behaviors, such as circling – likely the trigger for her tendonitis. She desperately needs a stable place in her life where she can find peace and finally feel at home. Throughout it all, Carmela brings with her everything one could wish for in a loyal companion: she is active, tempestuous, and full of life. Sometimes, in her boundless energy, she forgets to hit the brakes – but her loving nature more than makes up for it. For a family with older, well-behaved children, Carmela would be a true stroke of luck. She loves going on discovery tours, experiencing new things, and simply being a part of life. Carmela is looking for people who will give her their hearts and show her what a home can be like. So, what are you waiting for? Onward – Carmela is already waiting!

Carmela – Schmusemaus mit Herz und Power Im Tierheim leidet Carmela jedoch sehr. Der Stress und die Unruhe schlagen ihr spürbar aufs Gemüt. Wenn es um sie herum hektisch wird, zeigt sie stereotype Verhaltensweisen und beginnt, sich im Kreis zu drehen – vermutlich der Auslöser für ihre Sehnenscheidenentzündung. Sie braucht dringend einen festen Platz im Leben, an dem sie zur Ruhe kommen darf und endlich ankommen kann. Dabei bringt Carmela alles mit, was man sich von einer treuen Begleiterin wünscht: Sie ist aktiv, temperamentvoll und voller Lebensfreude. Manchmal vergisst sie vor lauter Energie, rechtzeitig die „Bremse“ zu ziehen – aber das macht sie mit ihrer liebevollen Art mehr als wett. Für eine Familie mit größeren, standsicheren Kindern wäre Carmela ein wahrer Glücksgriff. Sie liebt es, gemeinsam auf Entdeckungstour zu gehen, Neues zu erleben und einfach ein Teil des Lebens zu sein. Carmela sucht Menschen, die ihr Herz an sie verschenken und ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Zuhause sein kann. Also, worauf wartest du? Auf geht’s – Carmela wartet schon!

About Carmela

What life with Carmela looks like

Carmela is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carmela, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carmela?
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 Carmela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carmela 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 Carmela 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 Carmela 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 Carmela 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.
