adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Chester has found a home! His story: Zalau, Romania. May we introduce Chester to you? Chester was sighted in a city near Zalau. Someone had filmed him shivering on the parking lot and posted the video to local welfare groups, but no one seemed interested. A week later, our helpers saw him at the same spot again, and it was clear he was freezing. Now Chester is safely in a shelter. And he longs more than anything for a home where he won't have to freeze and where he gets plenty of attention. Because Chester loves being with people. Every time someone passes by his kennel and doesn't notice him, he cries terribly. He loves being stroked. Chester is a very curious and friendly dog, but has a more dominant/souverain personality. He gets along well with other dogs. Cats have not yet been tested. At 54 cm and 20 kg, Chester has a nice medium size. Although Chester has no problems with a leash or harness, the young man still has a lot to learn. Whether he knows what life in a house is like, no one knows, so some minor mishaps should be forgiven at first. He also has to learn the entire dog ABC and is still going through puberty, so he will want to test his limits. But this phase will pass. Chester is looking for a home where he can settle down in peace. Due to his dominant nature, children in the home should perhaps be a bit bigger. He looks forward to dog training classes, along with many walks and cuddles. Chester travels microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated with his EU pet passport and can be adopted for 500 Euro. A foster home would also be a good start. Have you been piqued by our introduction and are looking for a dog who has already outgrown the baby shoes but is still young and dynamic, with whom you can also spend some cozy hours on the couch? Then you will definitely make a good team. Thank you, Katrin G.! You gave Chester the start of a new life with your name sponsorship. As of: 21.01.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Chester hat ein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Zalau, Rumänien. Dürfen wir Euch Chester vorstellen? Chester wurde in einer Stadt, in der Nähe von Zalau, gesichtet. Dort hatte ihn jemand gefilmt, wie er vor Kälte zitternd auf dem Parkplatz stand, und das Video in die örtlichen Wohlfahrtsgruppen gepostet, aber niemand schien sich für ihn zu interessieren. Eine Woche später sahen Helfende von uns ihn dann wieder an der gleichen Stelle und man konnte deutlich sehen, wie er fror. Nun ist Chester erstmal in Sicherheit. Und er wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als ein zu Hause, in dem er nicht frieren muss und genügend Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Denn Chester liebt es mit Menschen zusammen zu sein. Jedes Mal, wenn man an seinem Zwinger vorbeikommt und ihn mal nicht beachtet, weint er ganz fürchterlich. Er liebt es gestreichelt zu werden. Chester ist ein sehr neugieriger und freundlicher Hund, hat aber eher eine dominant/souveräne Persönlichkeit. Er versteht sich aber gut mit anderen Hunden. Katzen konnten bisher noch nicht getestet werden. Mit seinen 54 cm und 20 kg hat Chester eine schöne mittlere Größe. Auch wenn Chester keine Probleme mit Leine und Geschirr hat, muss der junge Mann noch viel lernen. Ob er das Leben im Haus bereits kennt, weiß man nicht, deshalb sollte man ihm anfangs das ein oder andere Malheur sicher verzeihen. Außerdem muss er bestimmt auch noch das gesamte Hunde-ABC lernen und auch die Pubertät hat er noch nicht ganz hinter sich gelassen und er wird auch noch seine Grenzen austesten wollen. Aber auch diese Phase geht vorbei. Chester sucht ein Zuhause, bei dem er erstmal in Ruhe ankommen kann. Aufgrund seiner dominanteren Art sollten Kinder im Haushalt vielleicht schon etwas größer sein. Er freut sich, neben vielen Spaziergängen und Streicheleinheiten sicher auch auf den Besuch einer Hundeschule. Chester reist gechipt, kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit seinem EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck und kann gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro, nach positiver Vorkontrolle, vermittelt werden. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre schon mal ein Anfang. Haben wir Dein Interesse geweckt und suchst Du einen Hund, der schon aus den Babyschuhen rausgewachsen ist, der aber noch jung und dynamisch ist und mit dem man auch gemütliche Stunden auf dem Sofa verbringen kann? Dann werdet ihr bestimmt bald ein gutes Team werden. Danke Katrin G.! Du hast Chester mit Deiner Namenspatenschaft den Startschuss in ein neues Leben gegeben. Stand: 21.01.2024

About Chester

What life with Chester looks like

Chester is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 Chester, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chester?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chester on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chester if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Chester 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 Chester 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chester 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.
