How do I contact the shelter about Gaja?

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

Can I adopt Gaja 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 Gaja 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 Gaja 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 Gaja 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 Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Gaja can stay forever at our Miss Medan shelter! Her story: Busag, Romania. Poor Gaja! She too will simply be abandoned on the street somewhere in Romania. The poor girl doesn't know what will happen to her and is completely shell-shocked. We of course take her in immediately and take care of her. Dear Gaja, we will find you a family that will never give you up! Promise! Gaja is a beautiful female German Shepherd. She has a shoulder height of 55 cm and weighs 20 kg, making her of medium size. She is currently estimated to be between 4-5 years old and has already gone through the exciting time of puberty. She gets along wonderfully with her fellow animals, whether male or female. We don't know how to handle cats and cannot test her with them. Our Gaja is still very cautious around people. She has lost her trust and therefore needs some time, looking for understanding and patient people who do not have any expectations of her and give her all the time in the world to get her footing in her new life. Additionally, it is very important that she finds people who can patiently teach her the whole dog ABC. She also needs to be adequately stimulated according to her breed. With the topic of German Shepherds, one should either be knowledgeable or have already thoroughly discussed it. Therefore, we are looking for a home in the countryside for Gaja, as female German Shepherds do not suit city life. A home with its own house and a large, fenced-in garden, where Gaja can be well stimulated with her nose – that's what we wish for our girl! Gaja would be thrilled about a mantrailing or other sniffing courses with her people! Gaja travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas to her new home. She would also be very happy about a foster home! Many thanks to Annika M.! You gave Gaja a name and thus an identity. Many thanks Lara N.! You took on a monthly sponsorship for Gaja!

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Gaja darf für immer bei unserer Miss Medan bleiben! Ihre Geschichte: Busag, Rumänien. Arme Gaja! Auch sie wird einfach ausgesetzt auf der Straße irgendwo in Rumänien. Das arme Mädchen weiß gar nicht, wie ihr geschieht und ist total durch den Wind. Wir holen sie natürlich sofort zu uns und kümmern uns um sie. Liebe Gaja, wir finden dir wieder eine Familie, die dich nie wieder aufgibt! Versprochen! Gaja ist ein wunderschöne deutsche Schäferhündin. Sie hat mit ihren 55 cm Schulterhöhe und 20 kg eine mittlere Größe. Sie wird derzeit auf 4 – 5 Jahre geschätzt und hat die aufregende Zeit der Pubertät bereits hinter sich. Sie versteht sich ganz toll mit ihren Artgenossen, ob männlich oder weiblich. Den Umgang mit Katzen kennen wir nicht und können ihn auch leider nicht testen. Unsere Gaja ist mit Menschen noch sehr vorsichtig. Sie hat das Vertrauen erst mal verloren und braucht daher einige Zeit und sucht deswegen verständnisvolle und geduldige Menschen, die keine Erwartungen an sie stellen und ihr alle Zeit der Welt geben, um in ihrem neuen Leben wieder Fuß fassen zu können. Außerdem ist es ganz wichtig, dass sie Menschen findet, die ihr in aller Ruhe das ganze Hunde-ABC noch beibringen. Zusätzlich muss sie ihrer Rasse entsprechend ausgelastet werden. Mit dem Thema Schäferhund sollte man sich entweder auskennen oder bereits gut auseinandergesetzt haben. Daher suchen wir für Gaja auch ein Zuhause auf dem Land, das Stadtleben taugt ihr als Schäferhündin nämlich nicht. Ein eigenes Haus mit großem eingezäunten Garten und tollen Spaziermöglichkeiten, wo Gaja mit ihrer Nase gut ausgelastet wird – das wünschen wir uns für unser Mädchen! Über Mantrailing oder andere Schnüffel-Kurse mit ihren Menschen würde sich Gaja ganz doll freuen! Gaja reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in ihr neues Zuhause. Sie wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 450 Euro vermittelt. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde sie sich sehr freuen! Vielen Dank an Annika M.! Du hast Gaja einen Namen und somit eine Identität geschenkt. Vielen Dank Lara N.! Du hast eine monatliche Patenschaft für Gaja übernommen!

About Gaja

What life with Gaja looks like

Gaja 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.
