Karma

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

Our dear Karma is among the dogs who deserve more than anything to live in a beautiful home where she would be loved and cared for, where she could enjoy life to the fullest as a dog, where she could live in safety and security. For little Karma is as friendly and affectionate as a dog in her situation and with her past can possibly be. It’s clear that she enjoys the moment of affection when she is held by a complete stranger, a caretaker. Photos are taken, Karma is held up to the camera to show the world: Look everyone! Here is Karma, a heroine who has managed to survive. One who fought until her rescue to make it through each and every day. One who might not want to give up yet.Karma is friendly towards dogs and cats. She is friendly to us humans (even to the vet), though understandably still somewhat reserved. And then we must tell you, dear animal lover, about Karma's past, the time before April 22, 2026, the day she was brought to the animal shelter.Karma comes from an animal hoarding situation. She lived with countless other dogs and cats in a small apartment. The condition of the animals was catastrophic. Emaciated and neglected, they lived in a daily struggle for survival. This nightmare was eventually ended by the authorities, who seized all the animals and brought them to the animal shelter. Karma and the others received comprehensive medical care and examinations. They were microchipped and vaccinated, bathed and shaved. The latter was spared for Karma. After the bath, her beautiful, soft, brown fur shines in the sun. But Karma's eyes look sad. The sparkle was lost long ago. In the animal shelter, she now lives together with another 2,500 dogs. Will someone see her and take her home? Is there someone who can bring the sparkle back to Karma's eyes? Would you like to be that person, give Karma a home, and a lot of love? Education will also be necessary, as she was not allowed to learn anything. Do you remember the moment when your dog first rests his head in your palm and says by this action: Thank you for loving me. Thank you for letting me be here? I wish you luck and, of course, Karma too. © 2006-2024 by animal welfare association Europa e.V.

Unsere liebe Karma zählt zu den Hunden, die es mehr als verdient hätten, in einem schönen Zuhause zu leben, wo sie geliebt und umsorgt wären, wo sie ihr Dasein ganz nach Hundeart genießen könnten, wo sie in Sicherheit und Geborgenheit leben könnten.Denn die kleine Karma ist so freundlich und anschmiegsam, wie es ein Hundemädchen in ihrer Situation und mit ihrer Vergangenheit nur sein kann. Offensichtlich genießt sie den Moment der Zuwendung, als sie von einer für sie völlig fremden Tierpflegerin in den Arm genommen wird. Fotos werden gemacht, Karma wird in die Kamera gehalten, um der Welt zu zeigen: Seht nur alle her! Hier ist Karma, eine Heldin, die es geschafft hat zu überleben. Eine, die bis zu ihrer Rettung gekämpft hat, um jeden einzelnen Tag zu bewältigen. Eine, die noch nicht aufgeben mag.Karma ist freundlich zu Hunden und Katzen. Sie ist freundlich zu uns Menschen (sogar zum Tierarzt), wenn auch verständlicherweise noch ein wenig zurückhaltend.Und dann müssen wir Ihnen, lieber Tierfreund, liebe Tierfreundin von Karmas Vergangenheit erzählen, der Zeit vor dem 22.04.26, dem Tag als sie ins Tierheim gebracht wurde.Karma stammt aus einem Animal Hording. Sie lebte mit zahllosen anderen Hunden und Katzen auf engstem Raum in einer Wohnung. Der Zustand der Tiere war katastrophal. Abgemagert und verwahrlost lebten sie in einem täglichen Kampf ums Überleben. Dieser Albtraum wurde schließlich durch die Behörden beendet, welche alle Tiere beschlagnahmten und ins Tierheim brachten. Karma und die anderen wurden umfassend medizinisch versorgt und untersucht. Sie wurden gechipt und geimpft, gebadet und geschoren. Letzteres blieb Karma erspart. Nach dem Bad glänzt ihr schönes, weiches, braunes Fell in der Sonne. Doch Karmas Augen blicken traurig. Der Glanz ging vor langer Zeit verloren. Im Tierheim lebt sie nun gemeinsam mit weiteren 2.500 Hunden. Wird sie jemand sehen und zu sich nach Hause holen?Gibt es einen Menschen, der Karmas Augen wieder zum Leuchten bringen kann? Möchten Sie dieser Mensch sein, Karma Heimat geben und ganz viel Liebe? Auch Erziehung wird vonnöten sein, denn sie durfte ja nichts kennenlernen.Kennen Sie den Moment, in dem Ihr Hund das erste Mal sein Köpfchen in ihren Handteller drückt und damit sagt: Danke, dass Du mich liebst. Danke, dass ich hier sein darf?Ich wünsche Ihnen Glück und Karma natürlich auch. © 2006-2024 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Karma

What life with Karma looks like

Karma is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Karma, answered.

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