Marisa

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Marisa, born approximately February 2026, unspayed, medium to large breed, in shelter since April 2026. The young female dog was rescued from euthanasia along with her mother and siblings. She is currently shy and uncertain. She prefers to flee from human contact, especially in the kennel, and reacts anxiously to her surroundings. However, on a walk outside the kennel, she seemed more relaxed. There, she was cautiously curious, observed her surroundings attentively, and did not appear panicked. It is clear that she has potential if given the opportunity to learn about the world calmly and without pressure. She should not spend her important development time in the shelter and become a permanently anxious puppy. With the right people by her side, she has the chance to learn trust and gradually warm up. Currently in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels with microchip and vaccinations (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are spayed or neutered at 7 to 9 months of age. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

04/2026 Marisa, geboren ca. 02/2026, unkastriert, ausgewachsen mittel bis groß, im Shelter seit 04/2026 Die junge Hündin wurde gemeinsam mit ihrer Mama und ihren Geschwistern aus der Tötung gerettet. Aktuell zeigt sie sich noch eher scheu und unsicher. Vor allem im Kennel sucht sie bei menschlichem Kontakt lieber die Flucht und reagiert ängstlich auf die Situation um sie herum. Bei einem Spaziergang außerhalb des Kennels wirkte sie dagegen deutlich entspannter. Dort zeigte sie sich vorsichtig neugierig, beobachtete ihre Umgebung aufmerksam und wirkte nicht panisch. Man merkt, dass in ihr Potenzial steckt, wenn man ihr die Möglichkeit gibt, die Welt in Ruhe und ohne Druck kennenzulernen. Sie sollte nicht ihre wichtige Entwicklungszeit im Shelter verbringen und dort zu einem dauerhaft ängstlichen Junghund werden. Mit den richtigen Menschen an ihrer Seite hat sie die Chance, Vertrauen zu lernen und Schritt für Schritt aufzutauen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden im Alter von 7 bis 9 Monaten kastriert. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Marisa

What life with Marisa looks like

Marisa is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marisa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marisa?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marisa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marisa if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Marisa 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 Marisa 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marisa 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.
