Adopt Maggie

Mixed Breed · Female

Breed: mixed breed Gender: female Born on: 07.2018 Size: very large Neutered: yes Identification: Chip Description: Maggie is still very shy and reserved towards people. We are looking for people who will let her settle in at her own pace and have no expectations of her. It would be nice if there was another confident dog on a well-fenced property. She gets along very well with dogs and can learn a lot from them. Maggie will need some time to trust people. In the household, there should not be very young children, as they cannot yet assess Maggie's behavior. We assume that once Maggie has settled in, she will display typical characteristics of a livestock guardian dog. The new owners should handle her confidently. People who can remain steadfast even when their decisions are questioned. Clear rules, consistency, and empathy are important here.

Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich geb.am: 07.2018 Größe: sehr groß Kastriert: ja Kennzeichnung: Chip Beschreibung: Maggie ist noch sehr schüchtern und zurückhaltend gegenüber Menschen. Wir suchen für sie Menschen, die sie in Ruhe ankommen lassen, die nichts von ihr erwarten. Schön wäre es, wenn es noch einen anderen souveränen Hund auf einem gut eingezäunten Grundstück geben würde. Mit Hunden versteht sie sich sehr gut und kann viel von ihnen lernen. Maggie wird einige Zeit brauchen, bis sie den Menschen vertraut. Im Haushalt sollten nicht zu kleine Kindern leben, da diese das Verhalten von Maggie noch nicht einschätzen könen. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Maggie, wenn sie sich eingelebt hat, typische Eigenschaften eines Herdenschutzhundes zeigen wird. Die neuen Besitzer sollten möglichst souverän mit ihr umgehen. Menschen, die auch standhaft bleiben, wenn ihre Entscheidungen in Frage gestellt werden. Hier sind klare Regeln, Konsequenz und Einfühlungsvermögen wichtig. zurück zur Übersicht

About Maggie

What life with Maggie looks like

Maggie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech e.V. 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. 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 Maggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maggie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech e.V. 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 Landsberg am Lech 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 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 Landsberg am Lech e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
