How do I contact the shelter about Erika?

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

Can I adopt Erika 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 Erika 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 Erika 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 Erika 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Erika has found her home! Her story: Sometimes life begins in the darkest places: In an old, abandoned factory, five siblings were struggling to survive without their mother. The mother was missing, and the little ones were completely on their own – deeply scared and hidden from the outside world. Thanks to the brave efforts of the fire department, two of them were rescued: Erika and her brother Benji. Sadly, three of her siblings did not make it. Erika is today about 5–6 months old and just at the beginning of her life. She will one day be a larger female dog. Visually, she resembles a Malinois mix, which is also reflected in her nature: sensitive, attentive, and with great potential for a close bond with her people. Erika still needs time to build trust. She is cautious and reserved around people at first. But she blossoms in the company of other dogs: She is very social, friendly, and playful. On her foster home, she is strongly oriented towards the existing dogs and learns from them that the world can be safe. She also knows cats. For Erika, we wish for a quiet, experienced home, ideally with a confident single dog where she can orient herself. A house with a securely fenced garden in the countryside or on the outskirts would be perfect. Children should already be older and respect that Erika needs time and space. As a Malinois mix, Erika brings a lot of potential – but also demands: She needs clear structures, patience, and reliable leadership so that she can gain security and develop well. Especially important is to practice being alone in small steps from the beginning and to show her that she doesn't have to control everything. Looking ahead to the approaching puberty, we are looking for people with a good understanding of dogs who can accompany her lovingly but consistently. Attending a good dog training class would be a valuable support. Erika travels microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated with an EU pet passport to her new home. Positive review also a foster home would be a wonderful next step for her. Thank you to Stephanie F., who gave Erika her name and a piece of her identity. As of: 03.04.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Erika hat ihr Zuhause gefunden! Ihre Geschichte: Manchmal beginnt das Leben an den dunkelsten Orten: In einer alten, verlassenen Fabrik kämpften fünf Geschwister ohne ihre Mutter ums Überleben. Die Mutter war verschwunden, und die Kleinen waren ganz auf sich allein gestellt – tief verängstigt und versteckt vor der Außenwelt. Dank des beherzten Einsatzes der Feuerwehr konnten zwei von ihnen gerettet werden: Erika und ihr Bruder Benji. Drei ihrer Geschwister haben es leider nicht geschafft. Erika ist heute etwa 5–6 Monate alt und steht noch am Anfang ihres Lebens. Sie wird einmal eine größere Hündin werden. Optisch erinnert sie an einen Malinois-Mix, was sich auch in ihrem Wesen widerspiegelt: sensibel, aufmerksam und mit großem Potenzial für eine enge Bindung an ihre Menschen. Noch braucht Erika Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Menschen gegenüber ist sie anfangs vorsichtig und zurückhaltend. Umso mehr blüht sie im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden auf: Sie ist sehr sozial, freundlich und verspielt. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle orientiert sie sich stark an den vorhandenen Hunden und lernt durch sie, dass die Welt sicher sein kann. Auch Katzen kennt sie bereits. Für Erika wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, erfahrenes Zuhause, idealerweise mit einem souveränen Ersthund, an dem sie sich orientieren kann. Ein Haus mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten in ländlicher Umgebung oder am Stadtrand wäre perfekt. Kinder sollten bereits älter sein und respektieren, dass Erika Zeit und Raum braucht. Als Malinois-Mix bringt Erika viel Potenzial mit – aber auch Ansprüche: Sie braucht klare Strukturen, Geduld und eine verlässliche Führung, damit sie Sicherheit gewinnt und sich gut entwickeln kann. Besonders wichtig ist es, von Anfang an das Alleinbleiben in kleinen Schritten zu üben und ihr zu zeigen, dass sie nicht alles kontrollieren muss. Gerade mit Blick auf die bevorstehende Pubertät suchen wir Menschen mit Hundeverstand, die sie liebevoll, aber konsequent begleiten. Der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule wäre dabei eine wertvolle Unterstützung. Erika reist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann sie gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro vermittelt werden. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre ein wunderbarer nächster Schritt für sie. Danke an Stephanie F., die Erika ihren Namen und damit ein Stück Identität geschenkt hat. Stand: 03.04.2026

About Erika

What life with Erika looks like

Erika is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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.
