How do I contact the shelter about Chewbacca?

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 Chewbacca on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chewbacca 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 Chewbacca 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 Chewbacca 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 Chewbacca 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.

Chewbacca

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Chewbacca, a grand name for a special dog. Just like his namesake, our fluffy Chewbacca is friendly to everyone and simply a lovable treasure. Our dear Chewbacca had a stroke of luck. He was found by our Romanian helper, who took care of him. Chewbacca was found with an old injury on his front leg. Walking was clearly a struggle for him. We don't know how long the poor Chewbacca managed to move around in pain. Despite an operation, he still has trouble walking and limps – which will likely remain. That's why travel arrangements would be so important for him to finally find peace. Chewbacca is a ca. 9.5-year-old male dog with a shoulder height of 55 – 60 cm. He is simply beautiful. One must fall in love with him, right? Chewbacca is kind and friendly to everyone, whether human or fellow animals. He deserves to finally experience the sunny side of life. Chewbacca comes without a history, like most of our fur babies. But now we have the chance to write a beautiful story with a happy ending for him! For Chewbacca, we are looking for a rural home where he doesn't have to climb many or only a few steps. Due to his appearance, we suspect herding dog genes in him. A large, fenced-in yard would be a dream. Chewbacca would love to run on green meadows and learn a new life. Chewbacca travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas to his new home. He will be ready for a positive arrival. Chewbacca would also be very happy with a foster home! Many thanks to Kristina! You gave Chewbacca his name! A big thank you also goes to Susanna S., who took on a monthly sponsorship for the great male dog. As of: 08.08.

Chewbacca, ein großer Name für einen besonderen Hund. Genau wie sein Namensvetter ist unser plüschiger Bub jedem freundlich gegenüber und einfach ein liebenswerter Schatz. Unser lieber Chewbacca hatte großes Glück. Denn er wurde von unserem rumänischen Helfer gefunden, der sich um ihn gekümmert hat. Chewbacca wurde mit einer alten Verletzung am Vorderbein gefunden. Das Laufen fiel im sichtlich schwer. Wie lange der arme Chewbacca sich nur unter Schmerzen fortbewegen konnte, wissen wir nicht. Trotz OP hat er Probleme beim laufen und humpelt – das wird vermutlich auch so bleiben. Gerade deshalb wäre eine Ausreise so wichtig, um endlich zur Ruhe zu kommen. Chewbacca ist ein ca. 9,5-jähriger Rüde mit einer Schulterhöhe Größe von 55 – 60 cm. Er ist einfach nur wunderschön. Man muss sich doch einfach in ihn verlieben, oder? Chewbacca ist zu allen nett und freundlich, egal ob Mensch oder Artgenossen. Er hat es so sehr verdient, dass er jetzt endlich auch mal die Sonnenseite des Lebens kennenlernen darf. Chewbacca kommt ohne Geschichte, wie so gut wie alle unserer Fellnasen. Aber dafür haben wir jetzt die Möglichkeit, eine schöne Geschichte mit Happy End für ihn zu schreiben! Für Chewbacca suchen wir ein ländlich gelegenes Zuhause, in dem er keine oder nur wenige Stufen gehen muss. Aufgrund seines Aussehens vermuten wir Herdenschutzgene bei ihm. Ein großer eingezäunter Garten wäre ein Traum. Chewbacca möchte gern über grüne Wiesen laufen und das Leben neu lernen. Chewbacca reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in sein neues Zuhause. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde sich Chewbacca wirklich sehr freuen! Vielen Dank Kristina! Du hast Chewbacca seinen Namen geschenkt! Ein großer Dank geht außerdem an Susanna S., die eine monatliche Patenschaft für den tollen Rüden übernommen hat. Stand: 08.08.2025

About Chewbacca

What life with Chewbacca looks like

Chewbacca 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.
