Himeji

Maltese · Female

Himeji is waiting for her happy ending today at our partner animal shelter Allatbarat in Hungary. Together with several dogs, we were able to rescue her from a killing station. There she already shared her kennel with Vanta - and today the two share their kennel in our partner animal shelter. Himeji is a loving and friendly female dog who currently shows herself to be uncertain. If you enter her kennel and want to make contact, she would love to merge with the environment and become invisible. Nevertheless, she remains friendly at all times, lets herself be touched and stroked. It can be seen that she has to process the many changes first. The move to the animal shelter is still very fresh. We are sure that Himeji will thaw further and gain increasing trust in the coming days and weeks and will notice that nothing bad is intended to her here in the animal shelter. In a new home, Himeji still needs to learn. Get to know the everyday routines of a family, learn the dog ABC and get used step by step to everything that belongs to a normal dog life. Himeji is compatible with other dogs. For this gentle female dog, we are looking for loving people who let her arrive without expectations and give her the time she needs. People who convey security to her, strengthen her self-confidence and accompany her confidently through life. Who gives Himeji this chance will experience how a cautious female dog gradually becomes a loyal companion.

Himeji wartet heute in unserem Partnertierheim Allatbarat in Ungarn auf ihr Happyend. Gemeinsam mit mehreren Hunden konnten wir sie aus einer Tötungsstation retten. Dort teilte sie sich ihren Zwinger bereits mit Vanta – und auch heute teilen die zwei sich ihren Zwinger in unserem Partnertierheim. Himeji ist eine liebe und freundliche Hündin, die sich aktuell noch unsicher zeigt. Betritt man ihren Zwinger und möchte Kontakt aufnehmen, würde sie am liebsten mit der Umgebung verschmelzen und unsichtbar werden. Trotzdem bleibt sie jederzeit freundlich, lässt sich anfassen und streicheln. Man merkt ihr an, dass sie die vielen Veränderungen erst einmal verarbeiten muss. Der Umzug ins Tierheim ist noch ganz frisch. Wir sind uns sicher, dass Himeji in den nächsten Tagen und Wochen weiter auftauen und zunehmend Vertrauen fassen wird und merken wird, dass man ihr hier im Tierheim nichts Böses will. In einem neuen Zuhause muss Himeji noch lernen. Die alltäglichen Abläufe in einer Familie kennenlernen, das Hunde-ABC lernen und sich Schritt für Schritt an alles gewöhnen, was zu einem normalen Hundeleben dazugehört. Mit anderen Hunden ist Himeji verträglich. Für diese sanfte Hündin suchen wir liebevolle Menschen, die sie ohne Erwartungen ankommen lassen und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, ihr Selbstvertrauen stärken und sie souverän durchs Leben begleiten. Wer Himeji diese Chance gibt, wird erleben dürfen, wie aus einer vorsichtigen Hündin nach und nach eine treue Begleiterin wird.

About Himeji

What life with Himeji looks like

Himeji is a medium-sized adult maltese dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

An 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 Himeji, answered.

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