How do I contact the shelter about Gertie?

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

Can I adopt Gertie 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 Gertie 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 Gertie 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 Gertie 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 Gertie can stay with their foster family! Her story: The pretty, blonde Gertie made the jump to her foster home and is settling in wonderfully. At first a bit unsure, she quickly adapted and absorbed everything. Gertie is already house-trained, walks well on a leash, is loving, friendly, cuddly, and very people-oriented. She gets along great with her fellow animals. So all around, a Gertie to love! In the shelter, the wonderful Gertie was only cowering on her hut and barely moved. The lady who had previously taken care of her and her daughter Hedda passed away, and so the two female dogs came to the public shelter in Bistrita. That this is not the right place for the sensitive Gertie is immediately clear. She suffered greatly under the conditions and missed her dog friend Hedda and her former owner. Hedda was lucky and was already able to travel to Germany to her new family, where she is thriving. Only the sensitive Gertie was left alone. Gertie had slight lumps on both cheeks. The adhesions were removed in Romania and therefore she still has scars on the sides. The tissue was examined and is benign. Gertie is believed to have become stuck in a fence, unable to pull her head out. Gertie wishes for a rural home, preferably with a garden and not too much hustle and bustle, so she can settle into her new life in peace. She looks forward to beautiful walks and long cuddle sessions on the couch. A visit to a dog training class would also greatly please Gertie. At around 2 years old, she is out of the pubertal phase and stands at about 60cm in height, making her an average-sized female dog. Other dogs are a hit with Gertie, so other dogs in the family would be super for Gertie. She likes to play extensively with them and looks forward to shared activities. She will arrive neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas in her new home. Of course, she will bring her EU pet passport with her. For an adoption fee of 500 Euro and after a positive Birgit C.! You have named Gertie. Stand: 09.09.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Gertie darf bei ihrer Pflegefamilie bleiben! Ihre Geschichte: Die hübsche, blonde Gertie hat den Sprung in ihre Pflegestelle geschafft und lebt sich ganz toll ein. Anfänglich noch unsicher, hat sie schnell alles angenommen und förmlich aufgesogen. Gertie ist bereits stubenrein, läuft gut an der Leine, ist lieb, freundlich, verschmust und sehr menschenbezogen. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht Gertie sich prima. Also rund um, eine Gertie zum Liebhaben! Im Shelter lag die tolle Gertie nur eingeschüchtert auf ihrer Hütte und bewegte sich kaum. Die Dame, die sich zuvor um sie und ihre Tochter Hedda gekümmert hat, ist gestorben und so kamen die beiden Hündinnen in das öffentliche Shelter von Bistrita. Dass das nicht der richtige Ort für die sensible Gertie ist, sieht man sofort. Sie litt sehr unter den Bedingungen und vermisste ihre Hundefreundin Hedda und ihre ehemalige Besitzerin. Hedda hatte Glück und konnte bereits nach Deutschland in ihre neue Familie ausreisen, in der sie sich super entwickelt. Nur die sensible Gertie blieb alleine zurück. Gertie hatte auf beiden Wangen leichte Verdickungen. Die Verwachsungen wurden in Rumänien entfernt und daher hat sie noch Narben an den Seiten. Das Gewebe wurde untersucht und ist gutartig. Gertie ist vermutlich in einem Zaun hängen geblieben konnte ihren Kopf nicht mehr rausziehen. Gertie wünscht sich ein ländliches Zuhause, gerne mit Garten und nicht zu viel Trubel, damit sie sich in Ruhe an ihr neues Leben gewöhnen kann. Sie freut sich schon auf schöne Spaziergänge und lange Kuschelstungen auf dem Sofa. Auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule würde Gertie sehr viel Spaß bringen. Mit ihren ca. 2 Jahren ist sie bereits aus der Phase der Pubertät raus und stellt mit einer Größe von ca. 60cm eine eher größere Hündin dar. Andere Hunde findet Gertie toll, daher wären auch andere Hunde in der Familie super für Gertie. Sie spielt gerne ausgiebig mit ihnen und freut sich über gemeinsame Aktivitäten. Sie zieht kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in ihr neues Zuhause. Den EU-Heimtierausweis bringt sie natürlich auch mit. Gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro und nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann sie umziehen. Vielen Dank Birgit C.! Du hast Gertie ihren Namen geschenkt. Stand: 09.09.2024

About Gertie

What life with Gertie looks like

Gertie is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An young 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.
