Adopt Marli

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Marli is a very open-minded and people-oriented female dog. She is very obedient and totally cuddly. She came to her family as a puppy and is now unfortunately a separation child. Her former owner, with whom she currently still lives, loves her very much. Her heart breaks because she has to give her "baby" away. Therefore, she very much wishes for people who will continue working with Marli, so that a loving bond for life can be formed. Marli is compatible with other animals, but small dogs are not necessarily her friends. Marli can be alone for some time and knows the basic commands. She travels well in the car, even though she does not particularly like it.

Read original (de)

Marli ist eine sehr aufgeschlossene und menschenbezogene Hündin. Sie ist sehr folgsam und total verschmust. Sie kam als Welpe zu ihrer Familie und ist nun leider ein Trennungskind. Ihr früheres Frauchen, bei der sie derzeit noch lebt, liebt sie sehr. Ihr bricht es das Herz, dass sie ihr “Baby” weg geben muss. Daher wünscht sie sich für Marli so sehr Menschen, die mit ihr weiterhin arbeiten, damit es eine liebevoll Verbindung fürs Leben wird. Marli ist zwar mit Artgenossen verträglich, aber kleine Hunde zählen nicht unbedingt zu seinen Freunden. Marli kann einige Zeit alleine bleiben und beherrscht die Grundkommandos. Sie fährt problemlos im Auto mit, auch wenn sie das nicht so gerne mag.

About Marli

What life with Marli looks like

Marli is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. 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 Marli, answered.

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