Adopt Manja

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

neutered: Not yet born: ca. 2023/2024 compatibility with others: Gets along well with other animals, tends to be more reserved and submissive; cats: Cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Manja is one of many dogs that originate from a shelter that has since closed down. There were catastrophic conditions there. She struggles very much with so many dogs. As she cannot defend herself, she is sometimes bullied. The female dog has a very delicate nature and will certainly need some time to gain trust. A loving, calm male dog in the new home would be nice for Manja, but is not a must. Ideally, a home that is not necessarily in the city center would be best for her. She knows nothing but life behind bars.

Kastriert: Noch nicht Geboren: ca. 2023/2024 Verträglichkeit: Gut mit Artgenossen verträglich, eher zurückhaltend und unterwürfig; Katzen: Kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Manja ist einer von vielen Hunden, die aus einer inzwischen geschlossenen Auffangstation stammen. Dort herrschten katastrophale Zustände. Sie kommt nur sehr schwer mit so vielen Hunden klar. Da sie sich nicht wehren kann, wird sie teilweise gemobbt. Die Hündin hat ein sehr zartes Wesen und wird ganz sicher anfangs Zeit brauchen, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein lieber, ruhiger Rüde im neuen Zuhause wäre schön für Manja, ist aber kein Muss. Ideal wäre ein Zuhause, das nicht unbedingt mitten in der Stadt liegt. Sie kennt nichts außer dem Leben hinter Gittern.

About Manja

What life with Manja looks like

Manja is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An young 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 Manja, answered.

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