Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Maya on the search for her happiness 🍀 Maya has not yet had the luck to be on the sunny side of life. The pretty dog was kept in a too small kennel for the first 5 years of her life. In the meantime, she is allowed to run on the farm for a few hours a day when our animal welfare worker is at the adjacent animal shelter. We are urgently looking for loving people for the lovable dog to free her from her difficult situation. Maya is a friendly and loving dog. She enjoys her caresses and every kind of attention very much. The pretty dog has a lot of energy. She loves to romp and play and sometimes gets a bit too bold. She curiously explores her surroundings and absorbs all new impressions like a sponge. She is curious and open to other dogs. She is afraid of cats. Maya's gait is not always perfect. The cause is probably the years of restricted movement due to the small kennel. Maya is a bit gluttonous and has shown herself to be food-jealous towards other dogs in the past. Even no trash can is safe from her. 😅 Since the dog only knows the kennel and her yard, she has so far only experienced few environmental stimuli. That's why we are looking for people with patience and preferably also dog experience who can slowly introduce her to the big world. Children in the household should be at least 14 years old. Do you want to give Maya a cozy home? 🐾🐶 This is our assessment of Maya's current behavior, how she will show herself in Germany, we cannot predict. Every dog can change and develop just like us humans. YouTube Video Link to playlist:

Maya auf der Suche nach ihrem Glück 🍀 Maya hatte bisher noch nicht das Glück, auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens zu stehen. Die hübsche Hündin wurde die ersten 5 Jahre ihres Lebens in einem viel zu kleinen Zwinger gehalten. Inzwischen darf sie für ein paar Stunden am Tag auf dem Hof laufen, wenn unsere Tierschützerin im nebenliegenden Tierheim ist. Dringend suchen wir für die liebenswerte Hündin nun liebevolle Menschen, die sie aus ihrer misslichen Lage befreien. Maya ist eine freundliche und liebevolle Hündin. Sie genießt ihre Streicheleinheiten und jede Art von Aufmerksamkeit sehr. Die hübsche Hündin hat viel Energie. Sie tobt und spielt sehr gerne und wird dabei manchmal auch etwas übermutig. Sie erkundet neugierig ihre Umgebung und saugt alle neuen Eindrücke förmlich auf. Anderen Hunden gegenüber ist sie neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Vor Katzen hat sie Angst. Mayas Gangbild ist nicht immer perfekt. Die Ursache liegt wahrscheinlich in der jahrelangen Bewegungseinschränkung durch den kleinen Zwinger. Maya ist etwas verfressen und zeigte sich in der Vergangenheit futterneidisch gegenüber anderen Hunden. Auch kein Mülleimer ist vor ihr sicher. 😅 Da die Hündin nur den Zwinger und ihren Hof kennt, hat sie bisher nur wenig Umweltreize kennengelernt. Deshalb suchen wir für sie Menschen mit Geduld und am besten auch Hundeerfahrung, die sie langsam an die große Welt gewöhnen. Kinder im Haushalt sollten mindestens 14 Jahre alt sein. Möchtest du Maya ein kuscheliges Heim geben?🐾🐶 Dies ist unsere Einschätzung des aktuellen Verhaltens von Maya, wie sie sich in Deutschland zeigen wird, können wir nicht voraussagen. Jeder Hund kann sich genau wie wir Menschen verändern und entwickeln. YouTube Video Link zur Playlist:

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Mischlingsliebe e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Mischlingsliebe 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 — Mischlingsliebe 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Mischlingsliebe 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.
