Marta &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Marta has already been through a lot in her young life: as a puppy, she was hit by a car and arrived injured at the animal shelter. But thanks to several surgeries and the loving care of a dedicated foster home, she has made a wonderful recovery. Today, Marta is a true treasure—friendly, gentle, and incredibly affectionate. She’s very social, gets along great with other dogs, and even with cats. Particularly remarkable: Marta was even allowed to accompany the volunteers to school, where she behaved impeccably and won everyone’s hearts. She is simply pure love on four paws and now longs for a home where she can give back all the affection she holds inside.

DE·Show original

Marta hat in ihrem jungen Leben bereits einiges durchgemacht: Als Welpe wurde sie angefahren und kam verletzt ins Tierheim. Doch dank mehrerer Operationen und der liebevollen Fürsorge einer engagierten Pflegestelle hat sie sich großartig erholt. Heute ist Marta ein echter Goldschatz – freundlich, sanft und unglaublich liebevoll. Sie ist sehr sozial, versteht sich bestens mit anderen Hunden und sogar mit Katzen. Besonders bemerkenswert: Marta durfte die Freiwilligen sogar mit in die Schule begleiten, wo sie sich vorbildlich verhalten hat und alle Herzen im Sturm erobern konnte. Sie ist einfach pure Liebe auf vier Pfoten und wünscht sich nun ein Zuhause, in dem sie all die Zuneigung zurückgeben darf, die in ihr steckt.

About Marta &#8211

What life with Marta &#8211 looks like

Marta &#8211 is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Marta &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marta &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marta &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marta &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 Marta &#8211 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 Marta &#8211 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marta &#8211 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.
