adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Florence has found her luck! Her story: Florence is a small mixed-breed female dog with a big heart and a heavy burden. Together with her children Luis and Payton, she was rescued from a household with around 15 dogs – where the animals often spent days locked up in the house, without food, without affection. Today, Florence lives in the public shelter of Bistrita, a loud, stressful place that demands everything from a delicate, quiet soul like hers. She has not shown aggression so far but observes from a safe distance. Whoever meets her with patience, calmness, and sensitivity will discover that a very loving character slumbers within – cautiously but full of hope. With her delicate build, the white-brown fur, and the shy gaze, Florence is a small being that simply wants to fit in. She shows social and friendly behavior when interacting with other dogs. Compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. Florence is a dog for people with a big heart for the gentle. For people who don't expect but invite. Those who know that bonding takes time and celebrate every small progress. A safe home with a structured environment, preferably a friendly only-dog and beautiful retreat possibilities would be ideal for her. With her likely 4-5 years of age, she has already gone through puberty. Nevertheless, several challenges will likely await the new human-dog team. She needs people who approach her with love and patience, give her time to settle in, and forgive her occasional mishaps. A visit to dog training classes can also be a meaningful addition after a certain period of getting used to things. Florence has not yet experienced life in a house. House training, walks, everyday stimuli, being alone – all of this will be new to her. She will test her limits and may possibly forget some things she has learned. But after overcoming this phase, she will undoubtedly become a wonderful companion for life. Florence is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and flea-treated. She travels with an EU pet passport. She would be very happy to have a foster home that helps her take the first step into her new life! A small mixed-breed girl with great longing – who shows Florence what a safe home can be like? Many thanks to Kerstin! You named Florence! As of 18.05.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Florence hat ihr Glück gefunden! Ihre Geschichte: Florence ist eine kleine Mischlingshündin mit großem Herz und schwerem Gepäck. Gemeinsam mit ihren Kindern Luis und Payton wurde sie aus einem Haushalt mit rund 15 Hunden befreit – dort lebten die Tiere oft tagelang eingesperrt im Haus, ohne Futter, ohne Zuwendung. Heute lebt Florence im öffentlichen Shelter von Bistrita, einem lauten, stressigen Ort, der einer feinen, stillen Seele wie ihr alles abverlangt. Sie zeigt sich bisher nicht aggressiv, sondern beobachtet aus sicherer Entfernung. Wer ihr mit Geduld, Ruhe und Feingefühl begegnet, wird entdecken, dass in ihr ein sehr liebevoller Charakter schlummert – vorsichtig, aber voller Hoffnung. Mit ihrer zarten Statur, dem weiß-braunen Fell und dem schüchternen Blick ist Florence ein kleines Wesen, das einfach nur ankommen möchte. Sie zeigt sich im Umgang mit anderen Hunden sozial und freundlich. Die Verträglichkeit mit Katzen wurde bisher nicht getestet. Florence ist ein Hund für Menschen mit einem großen Herz für die Leisen. Für Menschen, die nicht erwarten, sondern einladen. Die wissen, dass Bindung Zeit braucht, und jeden kleinen Fortschritt feiern. Ein sicheres Zuhause mit strukturierter Umgebung, ggf. einem freundlichen Ersthund und schönen Rückzugsmöglichkeiten wäre ideal für sie. Mit ihren vermutlich 4-5 Jahren hat sie die Pubertät bereits hinter sich. Dennoch werden bestimmt noch einige Herausforderungen auf das neue Mensch-Hund-Team warten. Sie benötigt Menschen, die mit viel Liebe und Geduld vorgehen, sie in Ruhe ankommen lassen und ihr das ein oder andere Missgeschick verzeihen. Ein Besuch in der Hundeschule kann, nach einer gewissen Eingewöhnungszeit, auch eine sinnvolle Ergänzung sein. Florence kennt das Leben im Haus noch nicht. Stubenreinheit, Spaziergänge, Alltagsreize, Alleinbleiben – all das wird für sie neu sein. Sie wird ihre Grenzen testen und möglicherweise bereits Erlerntes wieder vergessen. Doch nachdem man diese Phase überwunden hat, wird sie zweifellos eine wunderbare Begleiterin fürs Leben werden. Florence ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, entwurmt und entfloht. Sie reist mit EU-Heimtierausweis, nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro in ihr neues Zuhause. Auch über eine Pflegestelle, die ihr den ersten Schritt ins neue Leben ermöglicht, würde sich die kleine Maus sehr freuen! Ein kleines Mischlingsmädchen mit großer Sehnsucht – wer zeigt Florence, wie schön ein sicheres Zuhause sein kann? Vielen Dank an Kerstin! Du hast Florence ihren Namen geschenkt! Stand: 18.05.2025

About Florence

What life with Florence looks like

Florence 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 Florence, answered.

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