Martin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Martin is a young male dog full of life, curiosity and cuddles. He wants to discover the world, learn, play and grow up with lots of love. He just needs a chance and a responsible family who understands that adopting a puppy is a lifelong decision. His story also reminds us how important spaying/neutering is. Preventing unwanted litters means preventing homelessness, suffering and increasingly full animal shelters.

DE·Show original

Vorgeschichte Der kleine Martin ist gerade erst im Tierheim von La Gomera angekommen. Seine Mama wurde ungeplant trächtig, und ihre Besitzerin konnte sich nicht um die Welpen kümmern. Deshalb wurde Martin ins Tierheim gebracht. Wie so viele Babys aus ungewollten Würfen trägt sie absolut keine Schuld an ihrer Situation, aber nun sucht sie eine Familie, die ihr das Zuhause schenkt, das sie verdient. Martin ist ein junge Rüde voller Leben, Neugier und Kuschelbedarf. Er möchte die Welt entdecken, lernen, spielen und mit viel Liebe aufwachsen. Er braucht jetzt nur eine Chance und eine verantwortungsbewusste Familie, die versteht, dass die Adoption eines Welpen eine Entscheidung fürs ganze Leben ist. Seine Geschichte erinnert uns auch daran, wie wichtig Kastration ist. Ungewollte Würfe zu vermeiden bedeutet, Heimatlosigkeit, Leid und immer voller werdende Tierheime zu verhindern.

About Martin

What life with Martin looks like

Martin is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Garafia 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. 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 Martin, answered.

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