How do I contact the shelter about Helena?

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

Can I adopt Helena 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 Helena 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 Helena 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 Helena 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 Helena can stay forever in your foster home! Her story: The beautiful Helena is on the lookout for a retirement home. Currently, Helena lives with Raluca, in the outdoor area of the foster home. Clearly, Helena was abandoned by her human family. She was apparently left on the roadside in a nearby city of Zalau. Raluca observed that Helena seemed to barely move there for almost two weeks. The old lady probably always hoped that her human family had just made a mistake and would come back to get her. But Raluca saved her, and now Helena wants to start anew and spend the rest of her life in love and security. At 64 cm and 37 kg, Helena has a substantial size. When she furrows her brow and tilts her head, one can't resist her gaze. Helena is a gourmet. She is more quiet, loves treats, cuddles, and walks. She walks well on a leash and has no problem with a harness. She gets along well with other dogs, but cats have not been tested yet. For Helena, we wish for a quiet home where she can first settle in and recover from the long journey. The occasional mishap should be forgiven at the beginning, as we don't know if she has ever lived in a house. Helena should also ideally live on the ground floor, as stairs might not be optimal for her in the long run. A garden where the old lady can bask in the sun on her fur would also be a dream come true for her. She probably still has a lot to learn, but even for older dogs, that shouldn't be a problem, it might just take a bit longer. Helena looks forward to appropriate walks in nature. And of course, plenty of cuddles shouldn't be missing, because she probably has a lot to make up for. Helena travels microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and flea-treated to her new home. She also has her EU pet passport in her luggage. After a positive review, she would also be happy with a foster home. Do you have a warm, cozy dog bed for Helena free and also a place in your heart? Helena is looking forward to spending a few more years in love and security. Thanks, Silvie S.! You gave Helena a beautiful name and thus an identity. Status: 29.06.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Helena darf für immer in ihrer Pflegestelle bleiben! Ihre Geschichte: Die schöne Helena ist auf der Suche nach einem Altersruhesitz. Zurzeit lebt Helena bei Raluca, im Außenbereich der Pflegestelle. Offensichtlich wurde Helena von Ihren Menschen verlassen. Sie wurde offensichtlich in einer Stadt in der Nähe von Zalau einfach am Straßenrand ausgesetzt. Raluca beobachtete, dass Helena sich dort fast zwei Wochen scheinbar nicht wegbewegt hat. Wahrscheinlich hat die alte Dame immer gehofft, dass sich ihre Menschen wohl geirrt haben mussten und sie dort endlich wieder abholen. Aber Raluca hat sie gerettet und jetzt möchte Helena nochmal neu anfangen und den Rest ihres Lebens in Liebe und Geborgenheit verbringen. Mit ihren 64 cm und 37 kg hat Helena eine stattliche Größe. Wenn sie ihre Stirn in Falten legt und den Kopf schief hält, kann man ihrem Blick einfach nicht widerstehen. Helena ist eine Genießerin. Sie ist eher ruhig, liebt Leckerchen, Streicheleinheiten und Spaziergänge. Sie läuft gut an der Leine und hat auch kein Problem mit dem Geschirr. Mit anderen Hunden verträgt sie sich gut, Katzen wurden bisher nicht getestet. Für Helena wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, wo sie erstmal ganz in Ruhe ankommen kann und sich auch von den Strapazen der langen Reise erholen kann. Das ein oder andere Malheur sollte man ihr anfangs verzeihen können, wir wissen nicht, ob sie jemals in einem Haus gelebt hat. Helena sollte auch möglichst ebenerdig wohnen, denn auf Dauer könnte das Treppensteigen vielleicht nicht so optimal sein. Ein Garten, in dem die alte Dame die Sonne auf ihren Pelz scheinen lassen kann wäre auch ein Traum von ihr. Bestimmt muss sie auch noch einiges lernen, aber auch für ältere Hunde sollte das kein Problem sein, es dauert vielleicht halt nur etwas länger. Helena freut sich schon auf angemessene Spaziergänge in der Natur. Und ganz viele Streicheleinheiten dürfen natürlich ebenfalls nicht fehlen, denn sie hat bestimmt noch viel nachzuholen. Helena reist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, entwurmt und entfloht in ihr neues Zuhause. Ihren EU-Heimtierausweis hat sie ebenfalls im Gepäck. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 325 Euro kann Helena in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde sie sich freuen. Hast Du ein warmes, kuscheliges Körbchen für Helena frei und auch noch einen Platz in Deinem Herzen? Helena freut sich schon darauf nochmal ein paar Jahre in Liebe und Geborgenheit zu verbringen. Danke Silvie S.! Du hast Helena diesen hübschen Namen geschenkt und damit eine Identität. Stand: 29.06.2024

About Helena

What life with Helena looks like

Helena 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.
