Adopt Marvin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

timid, nervous, insecure, distrustful fear dog Marvin we took over from a dog collector. The dogs there were in more than poor condition. Marvin came along with Kathrin. Marvin is very timid and as soon as he enters his enclosure you can tell his nervousness. He needs a very experienced home or a foster home that can handle fear dogs and helps him escape from his inner prison. It hurts to see how some animals are made broken by sick people and how hard their life becomes. The environment should be quiet and rural. Marvin needs a lot of time and patience. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU passport. They are checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog placed makes room for one of those dogs that live in hunger and emaciation.

ängstlich, nervös, unsicher, misstrauisch Angsthund Marvin haben wir von einer Hundesammlerin übernommen. Die Hunde dort waren in einem mehr als schlechten Zustand. Marvin kam zusammen mit Kathrin. Marvin ist sehr ängstlich und beim Betreten seines Geheges merkt man ihm seine Nervosität gleich an. Er benötigt ein sehr erfahrenes Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, die mit Angsthunden umgehen kann und ihm hilft, aus seinem inneren Gefängnis auszubrechen. Es tut weh zu sehen, wie kaputt manche Tiere von kranken Menschen gemacht werden und wie schwer ihr Leben dadurch wird. Das Umfeld müsste ruhig und ländlich sein. Marvin benötigt sehr viel Zeit und Geduld. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Marvin

What life with Marvin looks like

Marvin is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marvin, answered.

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