Fintis

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The path is the goal. This could be the pretty Fintis thinking if she were still contentedly walking in the open area of the animal shelter. However, we have a different goal for the very friendly, energetic, and somewhat shy Fintis: a real home with loving and understanding people where she can build trust and find a place after a very unfortunate past. When Fintis with her beautiful reddish-brown fur, white markings, "sunspots" on her forelegs, and floppy ears arrived at the animal shelter, there was nothing to be seen of her beauty. She was covered in her own excrement because she was kept in a cage (no, not a pen!) at a breeder of small dog breeds (a "dog breeding facility")—where, in total, around 80 dogs were kept! She received only food and water. No exercise, no play, no affection, no petting. It is therefore not surprising that she did not allow herself to be touched when she arrived at the animal shelter. She was very unsettled and had no leash, no harness, and no walks. © 2006-2024 by animal welfare association Europa e.V.

Der Weg ist das Ziel. Das könnte die hübsche Fintis denken, wenn sie momentan noch im Freilauf des Tierheims zufrieden unterwegs ist. Allerdings haben wir ein anderes Ziel für die sehr freundliche, bewegungsfreudige und noch etwas schüchterne Fintis: ein echtes Zuhause für sie bei lieben und verständnisvollen Menschen, wo sie Vertrauen fassen kann und ankommen darf nach einem sehr unschönen bisherigen Lebensweg. Als Fintis mit ihrem schönen rotbraunen Fell, ihren weißen Abzeichen, den „Sommersprossen“ an ihren Vorderbeinen und den Schlappöhrchen im Tierheim ankam, war von ihrer Schönheit nichts zu erkennen. Sie war von ihren eigenen Exkrementen bedeckt, weil sie bei einem Vermehrer von kleinen Hunderassen („Hundezuchtstätte“) in einem Käfig (nein, kein Zwinger!) gehalten wurde – wie dort insgesamt ca. 80 Hunde! Sie bekam lediglich Futter und Wasser. Kein Auslauf, kein Spielen, keine Zuneigung, kein Streicheln. Es verwundert daher nicht, dass sie sich, als sie im Tierheim ankam, zunächst nicht anfassen ließ. Sie war sehr verunsichert und kannte keine Leine, kein Geschirr und auch keinen Spaziergang. © 2006-2024 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Fintis

What life with Fintis looks like

Fintis is a medium-sized 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. 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 Fintis, answered.

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