How do I contact the shelter about Matty?

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 Matty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matty 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 Matty 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 Matty 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 Matty 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 Matty can travel directly to his final destination! His story: Fantanele, Romania. The little Matty with the big guardian angel is on the lookout for a home. As Simona was driving on the highway, Matty suddenly switched from the shoulder to the acceleration lane. Many cars passed by. When there were just a few cars, Simona managed to lure and get him into the car. He had such a great fortune that nothing happened to him, and that Simona was at the right place at the right time. Maybe he was abandoned, and we don't know and probably will never know. It seems he was already familiar with driving. During the ride, he sat peacefully on the passenger seat. The 35 cm small and 13 kg light dog is a real comfort package. At 6 years old, he is not exactly young, but he is far from being old and can start anew. Matty is a quiet dog who loves to be stroked. He is very friendly to everyone, whether humans, dogs, or cats, and he seems to be very content. Matty is now searching for his own family in a slightly quieter home to complete his happiness. Other animals in the household are also welcome. But he wouldn't mind a life as a solo prince either. He is already looking forward to many walks and a cozy spot in your home and heart. Since Matty looks quite well-groomed, one might assume that he already had a home before. Nevertheless, he should be given the benefit of the doubt for the occasional mishap. Matty is already travel-ready and is waiting to be microchipped, neutered, dewormed, and with his EU pet passport in his travel bag, in response to your inquiry. Of course, he would love to travel directly to his forever home, but he would also be happy to start in a foster home. Many thanks Sandra K.! You gave Matty his name and the chance at a better life.

Seine Geschichte: Fantanele, Rumänien. Der kleine Matty mit dem großen Schutzengel ist auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause. Als Simona auf der Autobahn unterwegs war, wechselte Matty plötzlich vom Standstreifen auf die Beschleunigungsspur. Viele Autos fuhren an ihm vorbei. Als gerade mal keine Autos kamen, ist es Simona gelungen ihn anzulocken und ins Auto zu setzen. Er hatte so ein großes Glück, dass ihm gar nichts passiert ist. Und das Simona zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort war. Vielleicht wurde er ausgesetzt, wir wissen es nicht und werden es wohl auch nie erfahren. Scheinbar kannte er das Autofahren auch schon. Während der Fahrt saß er friedlich auf dem Beifahrersitz. Der 35 cm kleine und 13 kg leichte Hund ist ein echtes Wohlfühlpaket. Mit 6 Jahren ist er nicht mehr ganz jung, aber zum alten Eisen gehört er noch lange nicht und kann nochmal ganz neu durchstarten. Matty ist ein ruhiger Hund, der es liebt, gestreichelt zu werden. Er ist sehr freundlich zu Allen, ob Menschen, Hunde oder Katzen und er scheint auch sehr genügsam zu sein. Matty sucht nun seine eigene Familie in einem etwas ruhigeren Zuhause, um sein Glück zu vervollkommnen. Gerne dürfen auch andere Tiere in dem Haushalt vorhanden sein. Aber er hat auch sicher nichts gegen ein Leben als Einzelprinz einzuwenden. Er freut sich auch schon auf viele Spaziergänge und ein lauschiges Plätzchen in Deinem Zuhause und in Deinem Herz. Da Matty recht gepflegt aussieht, könnte man fast davon ausgehen, dass er schon mal ein Zuhause hatte. Trotzdem sollte man ihm anfangs das ein oder andere Malheur verzeihen können. Matty ist bereits reisefertig und wartet gechipt, kastriert, entwurmt und mit seinem EU-Heimtierausweis im Köfferchen auf Deine Anfrage. Natürlich würde er am liebsten direkt in sein Für-Immer-Zuhause reisen, aber er würde auch erstmal in eine Pflegestelle nehmen. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 450 Euro kann Matty jederzeit seine große Reise ins Glück antreten. Vielen Dank Sandra K.! Du hast Matty seinen Namen geschenkt und damit die Chance auf ein besseres Leben gegeben.

About Matty

What life with Matty looks like

Matty is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An 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.
