Adopt Marie

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

Marie arrived with us at the animal shelter on 24.03.2026 as part of a seizure from an animal-hoarding case. At around 15 years old, she is one of our seniors, yet she shows an unexpected openness, friendliness, and is very cuddly. The loving dog grandma enjoys the company of humans and delights in every pat. For her golden years, we wish for her a quiet, loving end place where she can once again experience security and care.

Marie kam am 24.03.2026 im Zuge einer Beschlagnahmung aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Fall zu uns ins Tierheim. Mit ihren etwa 15 Jahren gehört sie zu unseren Senioren, zeigt sich jedoch überraschend aufgeschlossen, freundlich und sehr verschmust. Die liebe Hundeomi genießt die Nähe zum Menschen und freut sich über jede Streicheleinheit. Für ihren Lebensabend wünschen wir uns einen ruhigen, liebevollen Endplatz, an dem sie noch einmal Geborgenheit und Fürsorge erfahren darf.

About Marie

What life with Marie looks like

Marie is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Cottbus in Cottbus.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marie, answered.

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