How do I contact the shelter about Maja?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maja if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren 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 Maja 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 Maja 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 Ibbenbüren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maja 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.

Maja

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Maja – will she eventually die in the animal shelter without ever having had a home? Maja has been waiting for her chance at the animal shelter for years. Now 11 years old, we hope she won't pass away in the shelter without ever finding a loving home of her own. Our beautiful Maja, a Caucasian (possibly a mix), was born on November 3, 2014. She is reserved and rather calm. She walks well on a leash and has no issues with outdoor stimuli. Encounters with other dogs are not a problem for her; she greets them calmly and remains neutral, but prefers to be left alone. With people, she is cautious but can be friendly if given time. Maja needs sensitive owners who can cater to her needs. She does not like being treated loudly or roughly, and has had bad experiences in the past. She is neutered and would prefer to be an only dog. She should also not live with small animals. Maja stands 70 cm tall and weighs 46 kg, and is quite athletic. She loves walks and remains calm with anything that comes her way during a walk. When will Maja finally find her place with a warm spot? A home that is quiet and loving, where she can receive the love and care she needs? If you would like to offer Maja a home, please contact us: (01 75) 9 05 75 38. Please leave a message.

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

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.
