Marla

Collie · Unknown · Puppy · 8 months

Marla ist eine ca. 8 Monate alte Border-Collie-Labrador-Mix-Hündin, etwa 50 cm groß und ca. 20 kg schwer. Sie ist ein unheimlich fröhliches, verspieltes und unglaublich verschmustes Hundemädchen, das Menschen über alles liebt, aber noch alles kennenlernen muss. Sie hat noch nicht viel in ihrem kurzen Leben gesehen, und darum hat sie noch vor allem Angst. Ihre Geschichte begann traurig: Anfang Februar wurde ihre hochträchtige Mama einfach bei einer älteren Dame in den Hof geworfen. Es dauerte nur wenige Tage, bis sie dort 7 wundervolle Welpen zur Welt brachte – darunter die süße Marla. Bis heute leben Marla und ihre Geschwister bei der älteren Dame, da das Tierheim voll ist. Sie wurden tierärztlich versorgt und Marla ist bereits kastriert. Doch ihr derzeitiges Zuhause ist leider alles andere als schön: Sie sind in einem einzigen Raum eingesperrt, einem ehemaligen Schweinestall. Ihre Mama lebt sogar an einer Kette. Marla ist wie ihre Geschwister welpentypisch aktiv, verspielt, neugierig und unglaublich intelligent. Vor allem aber ist sie eine ganz liebe, junge Hündin, die endlich die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause verdient. Wir hoffen von Herzen, dass Marla schon bald ihre Menschen findet und endlich kennenlernen darf, wie schön ein richtiges Hundeleben sein kann. Unterstützung dringend gesucht: Für die Tagespflege aller Hunde suchen wir dringend Patenschaften, um die Futterkosten bewältigen zu können. Informieren Sie sich gerne per Mail, wie eine Futterpatenschaft bis zur

About Marla

What life with Marla looks like

Marla is a medium-sized puppy collie dog waiting at Dognet Patenschaft in Austria.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marla, answered.

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