Adopt Maya

Border Collie · Female · Puppy

Maya – kleine Zaubermaus Das ist Maja – eine junge Border Collie-Hündin mit Köpfchen, Charme und einer ordentlichen Portion Quatsch im Kopf. Maja ist typisch Border Collie: schlau wie ein Fuchs, neugierig wie ein kleiner Entdecker und immer bereit, die Welt (oder zumindest dein Wohnzimmer) zu erobern. Sie liebt es zu spielen, zu flitzen und dabei ganz nebenbei alle Herzen im Sturm einzunehmen. Dabei ist sie nicht nur ein Wirbelwind, sondern auch eine echte Schmusekönigin – nach getaner „Arbeit“ (z. B. Socken klauen oder imaginäre Schafe hüten ) kuschelt sie sich am liebsten ganz eng an ihre Menschen. Natürlich bringt so ein Welpe auch ein bisschen Chaos mit – Maja muss das Hunde-1×1 noch lernen und sucht deshalb Menschen, die Lust haben, mit ihr gemeinsam zu wachsen, zu lernen und viele Abenteuer zu erleben. Mit Geduld, Liebe und einer Prise Humor wird aus ihr ganz sicher eine wunderbare Begleiterin fürs Leben. Für Maja wünschen wir uns ein aktives Zuhause, das ihre kluge, lebhafte Art zu schätzen weiß und sie sowohl körperlich als auch geistig auslastet – denn in diesem kleinen schwarzen Fellknäuel steckt ein ganz großes Hundeherz. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Maya sich sehr freuen.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a large puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 Maya, answered.

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