LEA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 12 months

Lea has finally arrived - in a life she has hardly had the chance to experience before. Her foster home has revealed that the young dog is much younger than initially thought. We now estimate Lea to be around 11 to 12 months old. This is also reflected in her behavior: Lea is a cheerful, playful and sometimes still wonderfully puppy-like young dog who is just discovering the world. It's hard to imagine what lies behind her. Many months of her young life were spent locked up and isolated in a so-called "rabbit hutch". No running around, no fellow dogs, no grass under her paws, no chance to discover the world and simply be a dog. It's all the more beautiful to see how much Lea enjoys her new life. She finally gets to see and experience things. Finally, there's grass under her paws, other dogs to play with and people who give her affection. You can almost feel how she wants to make up for everything that was denied her for so long. At her foster home, she shows herself to be very playful and extremely sociable. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats and children are also part of her new world and are accepted by her without any problems. At the same time, we must be clear about one thing: Lea has hardly known anything. Many things that are a matter of course for other dogs are completely new territory for Lea. She has to discover and learn to understand the world. This also includes basic obedience and all that belongs to a normal dog's life. She has to learn to cope with different situations and learn rules. But that's also something very special: Lea is still so young and has her whole life ahead of her. She is a rough diamond, with which you can experience how a puppy becomes a confident and great companion. She brings curiosity, joie de vivre and a loving nature - now she needs people who can show her patiently and with loving consistency how this new world works. We are looking for people for Lea who are happy to accompany a young dog on her journey, show her the world and learn together with her. People who understand that Lea may not be able to do some things right away - not because she doesn't want to, but because no one has shown her how to do it yet. Lea has so much to catch up on - and at the same time so much love to give.

Lea ist endlich angekommen – angekommen in einem Leben, das sie bisher kaum kennenlernen durfte. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle zeigt sich nun, dass die junge Hündin viel jünger ist als zunächst angenommen. Wir schätzen Lea inzwischen auf etwa 11 bis 12 Monate. Und genau das spiegelt auch ihr Verhalten wider: Lea ist eine fröhliche, verspielte und manchmal noch herrlich welpenhafte junge Hündin, die die Welt gerade erst für sich entdeckt. Dabei ist kaum vorstellbar, was hinter ihr liegt. Viele Monate ihres noch so jungen Lebens verbrachte Lea eingesperrt und isoliert in einem sogenannten „Hasenstall“. Kein Herumtollen, keine Artgenossen, keine Wiese unter den Pfoten, keine Möglichkeit, die Welt zu entdecken und einfach Hund zu sein. Umso schöner ist es zu sehen, wie sehr Lea ihr neues Leben genießt. Endlich darf sie sehen und erleben. Endlich gibt es Gras unter ihren Pfoten, andere Hunde zum Spielen und Menschen, die ihr Zuwendung schenken. Man spürt förmlich, wie sie all das nachholen möchte, was ihr so lange verwehrt wurde. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle zeigt sie sich sehr verspielt und ausgesprochen verträglich. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich wunderbar, auch Katzen und Kinder gehören für Lea zu ihrer neuen Welt und werden von ihr problemlos akzeptiert. Gleichzeitig müssen wir bei Lea ganz klar sagen: Sie hat bisher so gut wie nichts kennengelernt. Viele Dinge, die für andere Hunde selbstverständlich sind, sind für Lea völliges Neuland. Sie muss die Welt erst entdecken und verstehen lernen. Dazu gehört auch der Grundgehorsam und all das, was zu einem normalen Hundeleben dazugehört. Sie muss lernen, sich in unterschiedlichen Situationen zurechtzufinden und Regeln kennenzulernen. Doch genau darin liegt auch etwas ganz Besonderes: Lea ist noch so jung und hat ihr ganzes Leben vor sich. Sie ist ein ungeschliffener Rohdiamant, bei dem man miterleben darf, wie aus einem Hundekind eine selbstbewusste und tolle Begleiterin wird. Sie bringt Neugier, Lebensfreude und ein liebevolles Wesen mit – jetzt braucht sie Menschen, die ihr geduldig und mit liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie diese neue Welt funktioniert. Wir wünschen uns für Lea Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einen jungen Hund auf seinem Weg zu begleiten, ihr die Welt zu zeigen und gemeinsam mit ihr zu lernen. Menschen, die verstehen, dass Lea manches vielleicht nicht sofort kann – nicht weil sie es nicht möchte, sondern weil es ihr bisher schlicht niemand gezeigt hat. Lea hat so viel nachzuholen – und gleichzeitig so viel Liebe zu verschenken.

About LEA

What life with LEA looks like

LEA is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Marsberg e.V. in Marsberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 LEA, answered.

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