Adopt Leonie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 9 months

Sometimes a life begins with a sad chapter… Our Leonie is about 9 months old and was found all alone in a parking lot at the beginning of March 2026 – simply abandoned. 💔 But Leonie has kept her big heart. She is an incredibly gentle, alert, curious, and loving puppy who meets people with full trust. She is grateful for any small affection and always shows her playful, cheerful side. 🐶✨ Visually, she is a real little treasure: almost completely black – only her sweet white paws make her something very special. 🖤🤍 She is about 43 cm tall and weighs just under 10 kg. Leonie is looking for people who will show her that she has arrived. A home where she is loved, can find peace, and finally get the security she so deserves. Who will give this wonderful soul a home?

Manchmal beginnt ein Leben mit einem traurigen Kapitel… Unsere Leonie ist etwa 9 Monate alt und wurde Anfang März 2026 ganz allein auf einem Parkplatz gefunden – einfach zurückgelassen. 💔 Doch Leonie hat sich ihr großes Herz bewahrt. Sie ist ein unglaublich sanftes, aufgewecktes, neugieriges und liebevolles Hundemädchen, das Menschen voller Vertrauen begegnet. Sie ist dankbar für jede noch so kleine Zuwendung und zeigt dabei immer wieder ihre verspielte, fröhliche Seite. 🐶✨ Optisch ist sie ein echter kleiner Schatz: fast komplett schwarz – nur ihre süßen weißen Pfötchen machen sie zu etwas ganz Besonderem. 🖤🤍 Sie ist ca. 43 cm hoch und wiegt knappe 10 kg. Leonie sucht Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sie angekommen ist. Ein Zuhause, in dem sie geliebt wird, zur Ruhe kommen darf und endlich die Geborgenheit findet, die sie so sehr verdient. Wer schenkt dieser wunderbaren Seele ein Zuhause? 🏡❤️

About Leonie

What life with Leonie looks like

Leonie is a large 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 Leonie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leonie?
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 Leonie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leonie 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 Leonie 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 Leonie 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 Leonie 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.
