Maggy (w)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Maggy came with her sister Mirra and three other dogs directly from the death house. What they experienced there, we prefer not to imagine. These dogs have panic fear of humans and run away whenever someone approaches. However, Maggy shows some signs that she is ready to open up to people again if one engages with her. At least, she already hesitantly takes treats from the hand. Maggy is between 3 and 4 years old (as of 03/15) and about 45 cm tall. (K) Maggy is, like her sister, very self-assured in the enclosure. But she does not necessarily need the proximity to humans.

Maggy kam mit ihrer Schwester Mirra und noch 3 anderen Hunden direkt aus dem Todeshaus. Was sie dort mitgemacht haben, möchten wir uns lieber nicht vorstellen. Jedenfalls haben diese Hunde panische Angst vor uns Menschen und laufen immer davon, wenn man sich ihnen nähert. Maggy zeigt aber erste Anzeichen, dass sie bereit ist, sich wieder den Menschen zu öffnen, wenn man sich mit ihr beschäftigt. Zumindest nimmt sie schon zaghaft Goodies aus der Hand. Maggy ist zwischen 3 und 4 Jahre alt (Stand 03/15) und um die 45 cm groß. (K) Maggy ist – wie ihre Schwester – im Gehege sehr selbstbewußt. Aber die Nähe zu Menschen braucht sie nicht unbedingt.

About Maggy (w)

What life with Maggy (w) looks like

Maggy (w) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Maggy (w), answered.

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