Emma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Dario, Lucy, Lady, and Emma will be with us starting May 8, 2026. Here is Emma's description of our animal rescuer Sina from Turkey: Emma was brought to us from a nearby village. Unfortunately, we don't know her story; they simply said they no longer wanted her. Emma is a somewhat shy female dog that still needs some work. Unfortunately, we don't have the space in our animal shelter to win her trust. There are simply too many dogs. She lives in the large garden with about 40 other large and small dogs. She still needs to learn to walk on a leash. We are sure that with a bit of patience, she will become a more trusting dog.

Dario, Lucy, Lady und Emma werden ab dem 08.05.2026 bei uns sein. Nachfolgend Emmas Beschreibung unserer Tierschützerin Sina aus der Türkei: Emma wurde von einem naheliegenden Dorf zu uns gebracht. Leider kennen wir ihre Geschichte nicht, man hat nur gesagt das man sie nicht mehr wolle. Emma ist eine etwas scheue Hündin, an der man noch arbeiten muss. Leider haben wir bei uns im Tierheim nicht die Möglichkeit, ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Es sind einfach zu viele Hunde. Sie lebt im großen Garten mit ca. 40 anderen großen und kleinen Hunden zusammen. Sie muss noch lernen an der Leine zu laufen. Wir sind uns sicher, dass sie mit etwas Geduld ein zutraulichen Hund wird.

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Emma, answered.

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