How do I contact the shelter about Maria?

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

Can I adopt Maria if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Maria 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 Maria 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maria 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.

Maria

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Maria is a very shy female dog who currently has a great fear of people. She is likely a stray who has had no or only bad experiences. Her proximity is very unsettling, and if she feels cornered, she might snap out of fear. This behavior is not a sign of aggression but an expression of deep insecurity and a lack of positive experiences. At this point, we cannot say anything about her compatibility with other dogs or cats, as Maria is still too frightened for that. For her, the current priority is distance, calmness, and safety. She needs people who respect her boundaries, do not force anything, and give her time to build trust. Maria's age is estimated to be around 3 years, and her size is about 55-60 cm. Maria is looking for a very quiet, experienced home or an equally experienced foster home, ideally with retreat possibilities, clear routines, and a lot of patience. Small steps will take time with her, but dogs like Maria deserve a chance to finally arrive and learn at their own pace that the world can also be friendly. Maria travels neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. She has an EU pet passport and will only be sent after a positive assessment. Would you like to show Maria that she no longer needs to be afraid? Then feel free to contact us. A big thank you goes to Kerstin! You not only gave Maria an identity but also the chance at a new life by naming her. A big thank you also goes to Annette W., who has taken on a monthly sponsorship for Maria. As of: 20.01. This animal has a history of biting.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Maria ist eine sehr schüchterne Hündin, die aktuell große Angst vor Menschen hat. Vermutlich war sie ihr Leben lang ein Straßenhund und hat keine oder nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Nähe verunsichert sie stark und wenn sie sich bedrängt fühlt, könnte es passieren, dass sie aus Angst schnappt. Dieses Verhalten ist kein Zeichen von Aggression, sondern Ausdruck tiefer Unsicherheit und fehlender positiver Erfahrungen. Zu ihrer Verträglichkeit mit anderen Hunden oder Katzen können wir derzeit nichts sagen, da Maria dafür noch viel zu verängstigt ist. Im Moment steht für sie vor allem eines im Vordergrund: Abstand, Ruhe und Sicherheit. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihre Grenzen respektieren, nichts erzwingen und ihr Zeit lassen, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Marias Alter wird auf etwa 3 Jahre geschätzt und ihre Größe liegt bei etwa 55 – 60 cm. Maria sucht ein sehr ruhiges, erfahrenes Zuhause oder eine ebenso erfahrene Pflegestelle, idealerweise mit Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, klaren Abläufen und viel Geduld. Kleine Fortschritte werden bei ihr Zeit brauchen, aber gerade Hunde wie Maria verdienen eine Chance, endlich anzukommen und in ihrem Tempo lernen zu dürfen, dass die Welt auch freundlich sein kann. Maria reist kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Sie besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und wird nur nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Möchtest du Maria zeigen, dass sie keine Angst mehr haben muss? Dann melde dich gern bei uns. Ein großer Dank geht an Kerstin! Du hast Maria mit ihrem Namen nicht nur eine Identität geschenkt, sondern auch die Chance auf ein neues Leben. Ein großer Dank geht auch an Annette W., die eine monatliche Patenschaft für Maria übernommen hat. Stand: 20.01.2026 Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen!

About Maria

What life with Maria looks like

Maria is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An young 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.
