How do I contact the shelter about Maurice?

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

Can I adopt Maurice if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Maurice 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 Maurice 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maurice 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.

Maurice

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Steckbrief Age: Born in 2021. Gender: male. neutered: yes Character: very friendly Size: approx. 55 cm In shelter since: November 2024 I am Maurice and an incredibly friendly guy! In the prime of my life, I ended up in the shelter. That might be a bit unfortunate. Judging by my appearance, maybe a bit of Mali is in me. That's why I would feel very comfortable with active people. My people should also give me security and show me how to behave as a family dog. I am a very playful type who doesn't miss an opportunity to invite you humans to a game! Unfortunately, the people here don't have much time to play with me because they have to take care of all the other dogs in the shelter. That's why it would be great if there was someone out there who is aware of the responsibility of adopting a sporty, confident dog and fills out the interest form. Then, after I've settled in, we could make the world a little uncertain together! And I can promise you: once you've conquered my heart, you won't be getting rid of me! If you'd like to meet me, feel free to contact me. Then we might get to know each other personally soon! Your Maurice interested? If you're interested in Maurice, please fill out our interest form () or send us an email or a message on Facebook. Maurice is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and they have an EU passport.

Das ist vielleicht doof.Nach meinem Äußeren zu urteilen, steckt vielleicht eine Portion Mali in mir. Deshalb würde ich mich bei aktiven Menschen sehr wohlfühlen. Auch sollten meine Menschen mir Halt und Sicherheit geben, und mir zeigen, wie man sich als Familienhund zu verhalten hat.Ich bin ein sehr verspielter Typ, der keine Gelegenheit auslässt, euch Menschen zu einem Spielchen aufzufordern!Leider haben die Menschen hier nicht so viel Zeit mit mir zu spielen, weil sie die ganzen anderen Hunde im Shelter ja auch versorgen müssen.Deshalb wäre es toll, wenn es da draußen jemanden gibt, der sich der Verantwortung bewusst ist, was es heißt, einen sportlichen, selbstbewussten Hund zu adoptieren und den Interessentenbogen ausfüllt.Dann könnten wir, nachdem ich mich in Ruhe eingelebt habe, gemeinsam die Welt unsicher machen!Und eines kann ich dir versprechen: Hast du mein Herz erst einmal erobert, wirst du mich niiieee wieder los!Wenn du mich kennenlernen möchtest, meld dich gerne.Dann lernen wir uns vielleicht bald schon persönlich kennen!Dein Maurice Interesse geweckt?Wenn Sie Interesse an Maurice haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus ()oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook.

About Maurice

What life with Maurice looks like

Maurice is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
