How do I contact the shelter about Mary?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mary on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mary if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Care-4-life 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 Mary 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 Mary 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 Care-4-life e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mary 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.

Mary

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 1 year

For interest in our beloved Mary, please send us the completed Interested Parties Form: Mary was born a charming female Labrador-Mix dog, and came to us from a public shelter in Turkey with a severe case of mange, her face almost completely bald. Under Elbrus’s loving care, she has fully recovered and greets us joyfully at the kennel door. She’s a social and eager-to-learn dog with long legs and a thoroughly friendly nature. Her coat is midnight black, smooth, and glossy. We suspect a Labrador in the mix. She gets along well with other dogs, but the most beautiful thing for Mary is the affection from two-legged beings. She could play for hours, preferring to run through fields and through forests, but we can’t offer her that here in Ankara. Perhaps the spot by your side is still open? Mary would love to fill it. She has so much love to give and deserves to receive it too. If you fall in love with our absolutely adorable Mary, she could soon be your faithful and constant companion. Mary is eagerly waiting for a family that shows her that the world can be a safe and loving place. Contact us if you’ve lost your heart to this loving female dog. Mary and we look forward to hearing from you. Nice to know: Mary has simply everyone’s heart.

Bei Interesse an unserer lieben Mary schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Unsere Hunde - so auch Mary - kommen in der Regel direkt aus der Türkei zu ihren Familien. Was wir über Mary wissen: Dürfen wir vorstellen? Das ist unsere liebenswerte Labrador-Mix-Hündin Mary. Geboren wurde die charmante Hundedame ca. im Februar 2024. Mary ist so jung und so fröhlich, dabei hat sie schon viel erlebt. Dennoch begrüßt sie uns jedes Mal freudig an der Zwingertür. Volle Charmeoffensive voraus! Mit Mary bekommt man einen sozialen und lernwilligen Hund. Sie hat lange Beine und ein durch und durch freundliches Wesen. Ihr Pelz ist nachtschwarz, glatt und glänzend. Wir vermuten einen Labrador im Mix. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut, doch das Schönste für Mary ist die Zuwendung von Zweibeinern. Spielen könnte sie stundenlang, am liebsten mit Auslauf über Wiesen und durch Wälder, doch das können wir ihr leider hier in Ankara nicht bieten. Vielleicht ist ja der Platz an deiner Seite noch frei? Mary würde ihn liebend gerne einnehmen. Sie hat so viel Liebe zu geben und verdient es ebenfalls, viel Liebe zu erhalten. Wenn ihr euch in unsere absolut liebenswerte Mary verliebt haben solltet, könnte sie schon bald eure treue und stetige Begleiterin sein. Mary wartet sehnsüchtig auf eine Familie, die ihr zeigt, dass die Welt ein sicherer und liebevoller Ort sein kann. Meldet euch also, wenn ihr eurer Herz an diese liebevolle Hündin verloren habt. Mary und wir freuen uns schon von euch zu hören. Nice to know: Mary hat einfach alle lieb. Bei Interesse an unserer lieben Mary schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Interessentenbogen bitte an:

About Mary

What life with Mary looks like

Mary is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
