Lina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Lina is an absolute dream dog. She is affectionate, sweet, has basic obedience and loves to be with her owner all day. Initially, Lina is reserved and a bit unsure around strangers, but that quickly wears off. Lina had to go to the animal shelter because her owner became seriously ill with cancer and can no longer provide her with the life she deserves. Lina enjoys going for walks and exploring new paths. With her previous owner, she could run free and was on recall. She knows cats and gets along well with smaller dogs, but is quite respectful of larger ones and would flee depending on the situation. Here, she needs security from her owner to get through the situation. What Lina still needs practice with is being left alone, which is currently quite difficult for her.

DE·Show original

Lina ist eine absolute Traumhündin. Verschmust, lieb, beherrscht Grundgehorsam und ist am liebsten den ganzen Tag bei ihrem Menschen. Anfangs ist Lina zurückhaltend und etwas unsicher Fremden gegenüber, das legt sich aber sehr schnell. Lina musste leider ins Tierheim weil ihre Besitzerin schwer an Krebs erkrankt ist und ihr nicht mehr das Leben bieten kann das sie verdient. Lina geht gerne spazieren und erkundet neue Wege. Bei der Vorbesitzerin konnte sie Freilaufen und war Abrufbar. Sie kennt Katzen und ist mit kleineren Hunden gut verträglich, vor großen hat sie ziemlich Respekt und würde je nach Situation auch flüchten. Hier benötigt sie Sicherheit durch ihren Menschen, um durch die Situation zu gehen.

About Lina

What life with Lina looks like

Lina is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wangering in Deggendorf.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Lina, answered.

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