Mascha

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

I am Mascha, a little mixed-breed dog, and I'd like to introduce myself. Here at the animal shelter, I am housed with three other dogs, which is very comforting for me. At first, I was quite anxious, but gradually I am making good progress. In new situations, I am initially cautious to assess the situation. Once I warm up, I can also be clever. In short, I need a calm environment with people who understand me and give me the time I need. People who don't have expectations and want an instant perfect dog. They need understanding and a gentle touch for me. Yes, that would be just right. Mixed-breed female, born November 1, 2025, spayed

Ich bin die kleine Mischlingshündin Mascha und möchte mich auch vorstellen. Hier im Tierheim bin ich mit 3 weiteren Hunden untergebracht und das tut mir sehr gut. Anfangs war ich schon ängstlich, doch so nach und nach mache ich gute Fortschritte. In neuen Situationen bin ich erst einmal vorsichtig um die Lage einzuschätzen. Wenn ich aufgetaut bin, kann ich auch pfiffig sein. In Verbindung mit Leckerlies lass ich mich auch schon mal kraulen. Kurzum, ich brauche ein ruhiges Umfeld mit Menschen, die mich verstehen und die mir die Zeit lassen, die ich brauche. Die auch keine Erwartungen stellen und gleich einen perfekten Hund haben wollen. Sie brauchen Verständnis und ein richtiges Händchen für mich. Ja, das wäre genau das Richtige. Mischlingshündin, geb. 1.11.2025, kastriert

About Mascha

What life with Mascha looks like

Mascha is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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 Mascha, answered.

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