Maggie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Maggie ist zur Zeit einfach noch ein „Angsthase“. Immerhin reißt sie inzwischen nicht mehr sofort aus wenn man das Zimmer betritt. Blickkontakt mag sie noch nicht wirklich. Aber nun schafft sie es schon ruhig in ihrem Körbchen liegen zu bleiben und die Vorgänge um sie herum zu beobachten. Ab und zu traut sie sich auch ein Leckerli aus der Hand zu nehmen. Sie schnuppert manchmal vorsichtig an den Fingern oder lässt eine kurze Berührung an der Schnauze zu. Hier braucht es ruhige Menschen mit Geduld und Verständnis. Unsere Maggie muss einfach öfters besucht werden, damit sie Vertrauen aufbauen kann. Mischling, geb. 19.6.2018, kastriert

About Maggie

What life with Maggie looks like

Maggie is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) in Germany.

An 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maggie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maggie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maggie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Maggie 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 Maggie 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 SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maggie 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.
