Liesa

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

I’m currently in a foster home in 45711 Datteln. Liesa is still looking for the right permanent home. I, Liesa, have been in Germany—North Rhine-Westphalia, in the town of Datteln—since May 22nd. My foster family welcomed me, completely exhausted after the long journey from Mostar. As a livestock guardian dog mix, I have some very special traits. At first, I’m quite reserved and tend to observe for a long time—until I’ve fully assessed the situation. This requires a lot of patience from my people, lots and lots of patience. I don’t respond well to strict commands or orders. My foster family, which includes four cats, two girls aged 13 and 14, and their mom and dad, is doing a great job handling me. No wonder! After all, there’s already Fossy from Mostar—a livestock guardian dog mix just like me—who’s been living with the family for three years now. At first, Fossy treated me like an intruder. Things got pretty heated at times; there were even some feathers flying. But honestly, it didn’t really hurt me.

In einer Pflegestelle in 45711 Datteln. Liesa sucht noch eine passende Endstelle. Seit dem 22. Mai bin ich, Liesa, in Deutschland. Nordrhein-Westfalen, Stadt Datteln. Völlig erschöpft hat mich meine Pflegefamilie nach der langen Fahrt aus Mostar in Empfang genommen. So als Herdenschutzhundmix habe ich meine besonderen Eigenschaften. Bin erst mal sehr verschlossen und beobachte lange … bis ich die Situation einschätzen kann. Das verlangt von meinen Menschen Geduld, viel Geduld. Auf strenge Kommandos und Befehle reagiere ich nicht. Meine Pflegefamilie mit vier Katzen, zwei Mädchen (13 und 14 Jahre alt) und deren Mutter und Vater macht das schon ganz gut. Kein Wunder! Es gibt ja schon Fossy aus Mostar, Herdenschutzhundmix wie ich, der schon 3 Jahre in der Familie lebt. Hat mich in den ersten Tagen als Eindringling behandelt. Da ging es ordentlich zur Sache. Es flogen schon mal die Fetzen. Hat mir aber nicht wirklich weh getan.

About Liesa

What life with Liesa looks like

Liesa is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerglück e.V. 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 Liesa, answered.

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