Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Name: MAGGIE Breed: mixed breed Gender: female Size: approx. 50 cm Age: born 15.12.2019 Weight: approx. 23 kg Child-friendly: yes Compatible with fellow animals: yes Compatible with cats: must be tested Neutered: yes Veterinarian information: microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed Leishmaniasis test: positive, rest negative Remarks: ADANA BADAJOZ Current location: Spain Shelter cost: 600 Euro incl. transport Last update: October 2023 Dogs come from a private animal shelter where many volunteers support it. The dogs live in small dog groups together. Maggie was 1308 days in the Perrera! No one has asked about her. In September 2020, Maggie developed skin problems and two weeks later, her entire body was covered in injuries. The staff knew it was something serious and asked other animal welfare colleagues for help. They searched for a place with a lot of experience, patience, and love. But no one wanted to take care of Maggie. So, Maggie was brought to a pension that has the potential to be a very good foster home! On October 6, 2020, Maggie left the Perrera directly for the vet. She was on the brink of death and had a severe case of leishmaniasis as well as a serious skin infection. For the first two weeks, every minute of life was a success. She lost 7 kg of weight and all her fur. Her entire body was full of pus. Maggie needed many medications, injections, skin baths every two days, lots of vitamins, Omega3, good food, and most importantly, a quiet place without stress! After three months, Maggie began to slowly recover. She gained weight and her fur started to grow. She was getting better day by day. After such a long and difficult time in the Perrera and pension, Maggie did not receive much socialization and is not very socialized with other dogs. But now she is ready to take on the challenge. She needs a family that is ready to work with Maggie and give her the next step in her life, a real home. With people, she is very friendly and can be the perfect companion dog. And we are sure that with the right family, she will have four-legged friends!! Apply at www.pfotenhilfe-sachsen. Gets along with other dogs.

Die Mitarbeiter wussten,das es etwas Ernstes war und baten andere Tierschutzkollegen um Hilfe. Sie suchten nach einem Platz mit viel Erfahrung, Geduld und Liebe. Aber keiner wollte Maggie pflegen. So brachte man Maggie in eine Pension, die das Potential einer sehr guten Pflegestelle hat! Am 6.Oktober 2020 verließ Maggie die Perrera auf dem direkten Weg zum Tierarzt. Sie war am Rande des Todes und mit starker Leishmaniose sowie schwerer Hautinfektion verhaftet. Die ersten 2 Wochen war jede Minute des Lebens ein Erfolg. Sie verlor 7 Kilo Gewicht und all ihr Fell. Der ganze Körper war voller Eiter. Maggie brauchte viele Medikamente, Injektionen, Hautbäder aller 2 Tage, viele Vitamine, Omega3, gutes Futter und vor allem einen ruhigen Ort ohne Stress! Nach 3 Monaten begann Maggie sich langsam zu erholen. Sie gewann an Gewicht und ihr Fell begann zu wachsen. Es ging ihr von Tag zu Tag besser. Nach so langer schwerer Zeit in der Perrera und Pension hat Maggie nicht viel Erziehung genossen und ist mit anderen Hunden nicht sehr sozialisiert. Aber jetzt bereit die Herausforderung anzunehmen. Sie braucht eine Familie die bereit ist mit Maggie zusammen zu arbeiten und ihr den nächsten Schritt in ihrem Leben zu geben, ein richtiges zu Hause. Mit Menschen ist sie sehr freundlich und kann der perfekte Gesellschaftshund sein. Und wir sind sicher, dass sie mit der richtigen Familie vierbeinigen Freunde haben wird!!

About Maggie

What life with Maggie looks like

Maggie is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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 Maggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maggie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming 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.
