Marvin (groß)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

friendly, loves cuddles We are looking for a home for our wonderful Marvin. He is a charming fellow. Marvin originally came to us from a kill shelter and has been with us at our shelter ever since. He enjoys being combed and stroked and then remains still in a trance-like state. He enjoys attention from people but is never pushy, always friendly and calm. We don't want to keep this wonderful fellow in the kennel any longer but wish for him to have a home with loving people who have some experience with dogs. It would be ideal if the home had a garden, because Marvin loves to nap in the sun.

DE·Show original

freundlich, liebt Streicheleinheiten Wir suchen ein Zuhause für unseren tollen Marvin. Er ist ein liebenswerter Prachtbursche. Marvin kam ursprünglich aus der Tötung zu uns und wohnt seitdem bei uns im Shelter. Er lässt sich sehr gerne kraulen und bürsten und hält dann verzückt still. Er genießt die Aufmerksamkeit des Menschen, ist dabei aber nie aufdringlich, sondern freundlich und ruhig. Wir möchten diesen tollen Kerl nicht länger im Zwinger sehen, sondern wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen mit ein wenig Hundeerfahrung. Wünschenswert wäre ein Haus mit Garten, denn Marvin liebt es, in der Sonne zu dösen.

About Marvin (groß)

What life with Marvin (groß) looks like

Marvin (groß) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOKO Streuner e.V. in Bochum.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Marvin (groß), answered.

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