LaMarie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

LaMarie was rescued by a firefighter from a rainwater pond on March 15, 2023. She couldn't get out by herself and was completely desperate. The little mouse is a sweet, simple little mouse who is a bit shy around strangers at first. She is a very uncomplicated, friendly female dog who also likes to snuggle on your lap sometimes. We met her as an absolute treasure who is always there but will give stress a wide berth if two other dogs become too wild. We think there shouldn't be small children in the house, but with bigger children who respect her space and know and accept the dog rules, there is no problem if we give her the opportunity to retreat. The family should make sure the garden is escape-proof before arrival.

LaMarie wurde am 15.03.2023 von einem Feuerwehrmann aus einem Regenwasserbecken gerettet. Sie kam dort einfach nicht mehr alleine raus und war völlig verzweifelt. Die kleine Maus ist eine zuckersüße, einfache kleine Maus, die anfangs ein wenig schüchtern Fremden gegenüber ist. Sie ist eine ganz unkomplizierte, freundliche Hündin, die auch gerne mal auf dem Schoß kuschelt. Sie ist uns als absoluter Schatz begegnet, der eigentlich immer gerne dabei ist, aber Stress dann aus dem Weg geht, wenn zwei andere Hunde zu wild werden. Wir denken, es sollten keine kleinen Kinder im Haus sein, mit größeren Kindern, die ihr ihren Freiraum lassen und die Hunderegeln kennen und akzeptieren, gibt es kein Problem, wenn man ihr die Möglichkeit gibt, sich zurückzuziehen. Den Garten sollte die Familie vor Ankunft ausbruchsicher machen.

About LaMarie

What life with LaMarie looks like

LaMarie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 LaMarie, answered.

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