How do I contact the shelter about Manila?

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

Can I adopt Manila if I live in another country?

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

Manila

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

A particularly adorable, heart-melting, larger female puppy, I would like to introduce: Manila. She is a foundling brought to the animal shelter in November 2022. There, she quickly won the hearts of the two-leggeds (the four-leggeds surely included too!) Why does this lovely female dog still sit in the animal shelter, waiting for a loving and dog-friendly home? …because so far, not many people knew about this unique female dog. That should change! Manila doesn’t know that she has grown into a beautiful female dog. In heart and nature, she is still a puppy. She is playful, funny, and loves playing with other dogs. On a walk, she is a wonderfully calm, relaxed, and very pleasant companion. But if there are other dogs around, she will play with them, so that everyone has a lot of fun. Manila will adapt to her new person or family very quickly and easily fit into the new home environment. Of course, she needs some time to adjust, because she has already lived for some time in the animal shelter … and has remained positively oriented towards life, people, and other dogs. What will it be like when she has her own primary caregiver or family? Unrestrained joy, beautiful walks or hikes, a lot of fun, attachment, and a real developing partnership between human and dog is a beautiful future prospect. Manila will be a special gain in the life of her new primary caregiver(s). She certainly needs the occasional learning lesson, but she will joyfully master it as an intelligent, curious, and independent female dog. She is the perfect companion dog for an active individual, a couple, or a family. The most important thing for her will be to be in your new home, both during quiet phases and activities. She of course needs movement in the green and now and then her learning or playtime. A garden or yard will be something she loves, but she can also be happy without one if she gets enough movement and mental stimulation. © 2006-2024 by animal welfare association Europa e.V.

Ein besonders hübsches, herzallerliebstes, größeres Hundemädchen darf ich vorstellen: Manila. Sie ist eine Findelhündin, die im November 2022 ins Tierheim gebracht wurde. Dort hat sie in Windeseile die Herzen der Zweibeiner erobert (der Vierbeiner sicherlich auch!) Warum sitzt diese liebenswerte Hündin noch im Tierheim und wartet auf ein liebevolles und hundefreundliches Zuhause? …weil bisher kaum jemand wusste, dass es diese einzigartige Hündin gibt. Das soll sich ändern! Manila weiß nicht, dass sie inzwischen ausgewachsen ist und eine bildhübsche Hündin geworden ist. Im Herzen und vom Wesen her ist sie noch ein Welpe. Sie ist verspielt, lustig und liebt es besonders mit anderen Hunden zu spielen. Bei einem Spaziergang ist sie eine wunderbar ruhige, entspannte und sehr angenehme Begleiterin. Sind allerdings noch andere Hunde dabei, beginnt sie mit ihnen zu spielen, so dass alle viel Spaß haben. Manila wird sich ihrem neuen Menschen oder ihrer neuen Familie sehr schnell anpassen und sich problemlos in die neue häusliche Umgebung einfügen. Natürlich muss man ihr etwas Eingewöhnungszeit zugestehen, denn sie lebt ja schon einige Zeit im Tierheim … und ist so positiv dem Leben sowie Menschen und anderen Hunden zugewandt geblieben. Wie wird es erst, wenn sie eine eigene Bezugsperson bzw. Familie hat? Unbändige Freude, schöne Spaziergänge oder Wanderungen, ganz viel Spaß, Anhänglichkeit, echte sich entwickelnde Partnerschaft von Mensch und Hund ist eine schöne Zukunftsvorstellung. Manila wird ein besonderer Gewinn im Leben ihrer neuen Bezugsperson/en sein. Sicherlich braucht sie noch die ein oder andere Lerneinheit, aber das wird sie als intelligente, neugierige, souveräne Hündin freudig meistern. Sie ist die perfekte Begleithündin für eine aktive Einzelperson, ein Paar oder eine Familie. Das wichtigste wird für sie sein, im neuen Zuhause bei Ihnen sein zu dürfen, sowohl in Ruhephasen als auch bei Aktivitäten. Sie braucht natürlich Bewegung im Grünen und immer mal wieder ihre Lern-bzw. Spielzeiten. Einen Garten oder einen Hof wird sie lieben, aber sie kann auch ohne glücklich werden, wenn sie ausreichend Bewegung und Beschäftigung hat. © 2006-2024 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Manila

What life with Manila looks like

Manila is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
