Mana

Labrador Retriever · Female

Hello dear ones, I am the delicate Mana and would like to find a new home as quickly as possible. Together with Lule and Tin Tin, we came here not long ago because our owner sadly passed away. I am the most reserved of the three, but I am super friendly, though also a bit timid. It would be wonderful if I could move into a home where there is already a confident resident dog that I can look to in the future. My new humans will need the right sensitivity to earn my trust. In new situations, I am still quite unsure, so here it would be helpful if you could stand by my side and calmly reassure me that everything is okay. Once my heart is won, I am a true magic mouse. Do you feel called? Then feel free to arrange a meeting to get to know me. I am eagerly waiting.

Hallo ihr Lieben, ich bin die zarte Mana und würde gerne schnellst möglichst hier ausziehen. Zusammen mit Lule und Tin Tin sind wir vor geraumer Zeit hier hergekommen da unser Besitzer leider verstorben ist. Ich in die zurückhaltendste von uns dreien, bin super freundlich, aber auch ängstlich. Schön wäre es, wenn ich in ein Zuhause ziehen könnte, indem es bereits einen souveränen Bestandshund gibt, an dem ich mich zukünftig orientieren kann. Meine neuen Menschen brauchen das nötige Feingefühl, damit ich ihnen Vertrauen schenke. In neuen Situationen bin ich noch recht unsicher, hier muss man mir sicher zur Seite stehen können und mir ruhig vermitteln, dass alles okay ist. Hat man mein Herz einmal erobert, bin ich eine wahre Zaubermaus. Fühlst du dich nun angesprochen? Dann mach gerne einen Termin zum Kennenlernen aus. Ich warte Sehnsüchtig.

About Mana

What life with Mana looks like

Mana is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Mana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mana?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Essen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mana if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Essen 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 Mana 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 Mana 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 Tierheim Essen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mana 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.
