How do I contact the shelter about Mats?

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

Can I adopt Mats if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für 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 Mats 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 Mats 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mats 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Mats has found a new home! His story: Mats no longer understands the world. A few weeks ago, his world was still in order. Then his Frauchen passed away. His son then gave the dog to the shelter because he can no longer take care of Mats. Now, Mats sits in the noisy shelter with limited space, waiting for a new start. Good fortune in misfortune, at least he was not abandoned. Mats, who was previously named Sefu, is ready to shed his past, including his first name, and begin anew with a new name. As long as he doesn't have to stay in the shelter. The cute little guy with a loyal gaze and an extremely interesting face pattern is a real looker. Mats is super-friendly and loves people. Dogs and cats have not been tested yet. Who has a dog bed free and is looking for a dog who has already passed the puppy stage and only occasionally has pubertal tendencies, but is still young and dynamic? Then you are exactly right for Mats. Mats wishes for a loving family with whom he can snuggle extensively, because after all, he has his whole life ahead of him. With his approximate height of 50 cm, he has a nice, medium size. Even though he already knows life in the house, Mats should be given plenty of time to settle in. Mats looks forward to many adventures in nature, attending dog training classes, and lots of attention and love. He would also be happy to do some head work to keep himself from getting bored. Mats is believed to have had an accident as a young dog. His left hind leg grew back incorrectly after a fracture. As a result, he walks a bit unevenly, but he uses his leg fully and has no limitations. He was x-rayed, and both veterinarians advised against surgery, as he would not benefit from it. Mats is always ready. He travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas, and dewormed. Against an adoption fee of 500 Euros, he can be adopted. Mats would also be very happy to have a foster home. Thank you, Mila! You gave Mats a second chance with your namingsponsorship. Status: 04.08. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Mats hat ein eigenes Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Mats versteht die Welt nicht mehr. Vor ein paar Wochen war seine Welt noch in Ordnung. Dann starb sein Frauchen. Ihr Sohn hat den Hund dann im Shelter abgegeben, weil er sich nicht um Mats kümmern kann. Jetzt sitzt Mats auf engsten Raum im lauten Shelter und wartet auf einen Neustart. Glück im Unglück, wenigstens wurde er nicht einfach ausgesetzt. Mats, der vorher Sefu hieß, ist bereit seine Vergangenheit wie seinen ersten Namen, abzuschütteln und mit dem neuen Namen neu zu beginnen. Hauptsache er muss nicht mehr im Shelter bleiben. Das wunderhübsche Kerlchen mit dem treuen Blick und der äußerst interessanten Fellzeichnung im Gesicht ist ein wahrer Hingucker. Mats ist superfreundlich und liebt Menschen. Hunde und Katzen konnten bisher nicht getestet werden. Wer hat ein Körbchen frei und sucht einen Hund, der die Kinderstube bereits hinter sich gelassen hat und auch nur noch gelegentlich pubertäre Anwandlungen hat, der aber noch jung und dynamisch ist? Dann seid ihr bei Mats genau richtig. Mats wünscht sich eine liebevolle Familie, mit der er ausgiebig kuscheln kann, denn schließlich hat er noch sein ganzes Leben vor sich. Mit seinen ca. 50 cm hat er eine schöne, mittlere Größe. Auch wenn er das Leben im Haus bereits kennt, sollte man Mats erstmal genügend Zeit zum Ankommen geben. Mats freut sich auf viele Abenteuer in der Natur, den Besuch einer Hundeschule und viel Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe. Auch über Kopfarbeit würde Mats sich freuen, damit ihm nicht langweilig wird. Mats hatte vermutlich als junger Hund einen Unfall. Sein linkes Hinterbein ist dabei nach einer Fraktur falsch zusammengewachsen. Dadurch läuft er teilweise etwas unrund, aber er benutzt sein Bein vollständig und hat keine Einschränkungen. Er wurde geröngt und beide Tierärzte haben von einer OP abgeraten, da er keinen Nutzen dadurch hätte. Mats ist jederzeit bereit. Er reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entfloht und entwurmt. Gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro kann er nach positiver Vorkontrolle vermittelt werden. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Mats sich sehr freuen. Danke, Mila! Du hast Mats mit Deiner Namenspatenschaft eine zweite Chance gegeben. Stand: 04.08.2024

About Mats

What life with Mats looks like

Mats is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An young 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.
