Gabriel

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

I am Gabriel. 🐾❤️ My life did not begin in a warm bed or with a loving family. I wandered the streets with two other puppies. We were so small and completely on our own. Every day was a struggle. Cars rushed past us, hunger and thirst accompanied us, and we never knew if we would make it to the next morning. But then a small miracle happened. Kind people discovered us and rescued us from the streets. Since then I live in the Help Labus animal shelter. Here I am finally safe. I don't have to be afraid of being run over or going to sleep hungry. I am infinitely grateful for that. Nevertheless, the most important thing in the world is missing: a family of my own. I wish for people who show me how beautiful life can be. People who discover the world with me, give me patience and never leave me alone again. I want to play with you, cuddle, learn and become your best friend every day a little more. I am still young and my heart is full of hope. My past was sad, but it should not determine my future. Maybe you are reading these lines right now because they are meant for you. Maybe I am the little friend you have been waiting for so long. May I win your heart and stay by your side forever? Your Gabriel 🐶❤️

Hallo… ich bin Gabriel. 🐾❤️ Mein Leben begann nicht in einem warmen Körbchen oder bei einer liebevollen Familie. Gemeinsam mit zwei anderen kleinen Welpen irrte ich auf der Straße umher. Wir waren noch so klein und ganz auf uns allein gestellt. Jeder Tag war ein Kampf. Autos rasten an uns vorbei, Hunger und Durst begleiteten uns, und wir wussten nie, ob wir den nächsten Morgen erleben würden. Doch dann geschah ein kleines Wunder. Liebe Menschen entdeckten uns und retteten uns von der Straße. Seitdem lebe ich im Tierheim Help Labus. Hier bin ich endlich in Sicherheit. Ich muss keine Angst mehr haben, überfahren zu werden oder hungrig einzuschlafen. Dafür bin ich unendlich dankbar. Trotzdem fehlt mir das Wichtigste auf der Welt: eine eigene Familie. Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die mir zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Menschen, die mit mir die Welt entdecken, mir Geduld schenken und mich nie wieder allein lassen. Ich möchte mit dir spielen, kuscheln, lernen und jeden Tag ein kleines Stückchen mehr dein bester Freund werden. Ich bin noch jung und mein Herz ist voller Hoffnung. Meine Vergangenheit war traurig, aber sie soll nicht meine Zukunft bestimmen. Vielleicht liest du diese Zeilen genau jetzt, weil sie für dich bestimmt sind. Vielleicht bin ich genau der kleine Freund, auf den du schon so lange wartest. Darf ich dein Herz erobern und für immer an deiner Seite bleiben? Dein Gabriel 🐶❤️

About Gabriel

What life with Gabriel looks like

Gabriel is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gabriel, answered.

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