MARTHA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Martha, born January 1, 2015, female, mixed breed, brown and black fur, 40 cm shoulder height, 14 kg weight, moderately dog-friendly, not cat-friendly, conditionally child-friendly (over 14 years), conditionally suitable for a beginner, not suitable for a second dog, can be left alone. I am Martha, born on January 1, 2015 - an experienced dog with character and clear ideas about life. My life changed abruptly when my owner passed away. Since March, I have been in the animal shelter - and it's been very difficult for me. Too many stimuli, too many strangers, too little security. I want nothing more than to find a new home. I choose my own people. I am very skeptical of strangers. If I feel threatened or insecure, I make it clear: I can show my teeth and move forward quickly. I mean it - that's why I need someone who can read me, give me security and handle such situations confidently. What I need: ✔️ experienced dog owners ✔️ clear, calm leadership ✔️ patience and understanding What I don't want: ❌ other dogs ❌ cats ❌ children I don't want to share my home and need a quiet, manageable household. Long walks are no longer my thing - small, relaxed rounds are enough for me. Stairs should be avoided if possible. I am not a beginner dog and not "for the side". But if you have experience and are willing to get to know me, you may be the person I trust.

Rasse MischlingFellfarbe braun/schwarzSchulterhöhe 40 cmGewicht14 kgHundeverträglich bedingtKatzenverträglich neinKinderverträglich bedingt > ab 14 JahrenAnfängerhund bedingtZweithund neinAlleine bleiben ja Ich bin Martha. Geboren am 01.01.2015 – also eine erfahrene Hundedame mit Charakter und klaren Vorstellungen vom Leben. Mein Leben hat sich schlagartig verändert, als mein Frauchen verstorben ist. Seit März bin ich im Tierheim – und das setzt mir ziemlich zu. Zu viele Reize, zu viele fremde Menschen, zu wenig Sicherheit. Ich wünsche mir nichts mehr als wieder irgendwo anzukommen. Ich suche mir meine Menschen selbst aus. Fremden gegenüber bin ich sehr skeptisch. Wenn ich mich bedrängt oder unsicher fühle, zeige ich das deutlich: Ich kann die Zähne zeigen und auch schneller als man ahnt nach vorne gehen. Das meine ich ernst – deshalb brauche ich jemanden, der mich lesen kann, mir Sicherheit gibt und souverän mit solchen Situationen umgeht. Was ich brauche: ✔️ hundeerfahrene Menschen ✔️ klare, ruhige Führung ✔️ Geduld und Verständnis Was ich nicht möchte: ❌ andere Hunde ❌ Katzen ❌ Kinder Ich möchte mein Zuhause nicht teilen und brauche einen ruhigen, überschaubaren Haushalt. Große Spaziergänge sind nicht mehr mein Ding – kleine, entspannte Runden reichen mir. Treppen sollten möglichst vermieden werden. Ich bin kein Anfängerhund und nichts „für nebenbei“. Aber wenn du Erfahrung hast und bereit bist, dich auf mich einzulassen, kannst du vielleicht genau der Mensch sein, dem ich mein Vertrauen schenke. zurück 3.

About MARTHA

What life with MARTHA looks like

MARTHA is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Peine in Peine.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting MARTHA, answered.

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