Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now adopt this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Heini has found a home! His story: Heini is a wonderful male dog with shining white fur. We estimate him to be around one and a half to two years old. Standing about 35 cm at the shoulder, he is a small dogman who could also be happy in an apartment. Currently, Heini lives in Bistrita with animal rescuer Tina. She and her husband were the ones who found the delicate male dogs in the mountains near a forest in Bistrita. Heini was terribly afraid because a gang of shepherds had been chasing the abandoned quadruped – had they caught him, he wouldn't have had a chance and would have been killed. Meanwhile, Heini has overcome his initial mistrust and discovered the care of the foster parents. He loves to feel safe in their arms, to be stroked, and to be cuddled. Even the dogs and cats living there greet him with friendliness. Heini does not know a family life like we imagine it in a community in a house or apartment with four-legged family members. Besides the adjustment to the new home, there is still a colorful bouquet of new tasks that Heini must learn together with you. Family dogs are only allowed to relieve themselves outdoors, the walks should be relaxed on the leash, and the night serves for general rest – so no rowdiness! Shoes must not be taken as toys, food on the table belongs only to the two-leggeds, and car rides are not so scary. Many challenges await a dog who has only lived outdoors. The shared learning is the exciting path to the goal of a special friendship between you and the little newcomer. If he can settle down in peace, he will also be more relaxed and can handle unfamiliar situations better with you. Heini has gone through puberty at his age, as we have experienced. We still recommend, however, to always seek the help of experienced dog trainers or dog schools that are familiar with dogs from animal shelters and proceed with care and positive support. This gives you and Heini security in communication, and the trust between you can grow gently. Heini only needs a small dog bed, but he needs your whole love to be happy – throughout his dog life. If you want to explain to Heini the world where he will be warmly welcomed, feel free to contact us via the website. Heini is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for fleas. We thank our patron Frank S. for Heinis name and the valuable identity it has given him. As of: 02.09.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Heini hat ein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Heini ist ein wunderhübscher Rüde mit strahlendweißem Fell. Wir schätzen ihn auf etwa eineinhalb bis zwei Jahre. Mit etwa 35 cm Schulterhöhe ist er ein kleiner Hundemann, der auch in einer Wohnung glücklich werden könnte. Zurzeit lebt Heini in Bistrita bei der Tierschützerin Tina. Sie und ihr Mann waren es, die den zarten Rüden in den Bergen nahe eines Waldes bei Bistrita verlassen aufgefunden hatten. Heini hatte furchtbare Angst, denn eine Bande von Schäferhunden waren hinter dem ausgesetzten Vierbeiner hinterher – hätten sie ihn erwischt, hätte er keine Chance gehabt und wäre getötet worden. Mittlerweile hat Heini sein anfängliches Misstrauen überwunden und die Fürsorge der Pflegemenschen für sich entdeckt. Er liebt es, auf ihren Armen sicher zu sein, gestreichelt und gekuschelt zu werden. Auch die dort lebenden Hunde und Katzen begrüßt er stets freundlich. Heini kennt ein Familienleben, wie wir es uns in einer Gemeinschaft in Haus oder Wohnung mit Vierbeinern vorstellen, nicht. Da gibt es neben der Eingewöhnung im neuen Zuhause noch einen bunten Blumenstrauß an neuen Aufgaben, die Heini mit euch zusammen erlernen muss. Familienhunde dürfen nur im Freien Pipi machen, die Spaziergänge sollen entspannt an der Leine ablaufen und die Nacht dient der allgemeinen Ruhe – also: keine Randale! Schuhe darf man nicht als Spielzeug entwenden, Essen auf dem Tisch gehört nur den Zweibeinern und Autofahren ist gar nicht so unheimlich. Viele Herausforderungen warten auf einen Hund, der bisher nur draußen gelebt hat. Das gemeinsame Lernen ist der spannende Weg zum Ziel einer besonderer Freundschaft zwischen euch und dem kleinen Neuankömmling. Darf er in Ruhe ankommen, wird er auch entspannter sein und kann ungewohnte Situationen eher mit euch meistern. Die Pubertät hat Heini in seinem Alter erfahrungsgemäß schon hinter sich. Wir empfehlen trotzdem immer, die Hilfe von erfahrenen Hundetrainer:innen oder Hundeschulen in Anspruch zu nehmen, die sich mit Hunden aus dem Tierschutz auskennen und mit Bedacht und positiver Unterstützung vorgehen. Das gibt euch und Heini Sicherheit bei der Verständigung, und das Vertrauen zwischen euch darf behutsam wachsen. Heini benötigt nur ein kleines Körbchen, aber er braucht eure ganze Liebe, um glücklich zu sein – sein Hundeleben lang. Wenn ihr Heini eure Welt erklären möchtet, in der er zukünftig herzlich willkommen ist, nehmt gerne über die Website mit uns Kontakt auf. Heini ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro und mit gültigem EU-Heimtierausweis vermittelt. Wir bedanken uns beim Paten Frank S. für Heinis Namen und die wertvolle Identität, die ihm damit geschenkt wurde. Stand: 02.09.2024

About Heini

What life with Heini looks like

Heini is a medium-sized 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. 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 Heini, answered.

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