Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Maya was given up by her family to a small shelter because they could no longer care for her. Shortly after, the little Spitz puppy gave birth to three little puppies. The shelter staff asked the original family - it turned out that a Yorkie had probably covered her before the surrender. The animal shelter then contacted our rescue station and asked us to take the little family in so that the little ones could grow up in safety as much as possible. Now Maya's puppies are all old enough and no longer need mother's milk, which is why we are now looking for a suitable forever home for the little mouse. Maya is a lioness and has taken good care of her puppies and always defended them. Since she has been separated from her puppies, she shows her loving side: she loves people, likes to cuddle and always seeks the company of our team members. We would like a home where the little Spitz dog does not have to be alone for too long. She is still very young and still needs to learn the basics of dog behavior. However, since she is a very attentive dog, we believe that joint training will quickly be crowned with success. Maya is not a handbag dog: she wants to be physically and mentally exhausted like any other dog. Varied walks and mental work should not be missing in everyday life. She would also be very happy about joint cuddle evenings on the couch. She now gets along well with other dogs and often shows herself to be submissive at first. We can imagine her as a single princess as well as a second dog. Children should be at least in elementary school age and have experience with dogs. Since she is a fairly relaxed dog, she could accompany her owners to the office in the future. However, like everything else, this should be trained step by step. We see Maya more in the countryside or on the outskirts of the city, as she has not yet had much experience. The little dog has a real chance of a suitable forever home more than she deserves. Maya can leave at once. Do you want to adopt Maya? Then just fill out the application form! NOTE: All dogs are being placed simultaneously by the German and Hungarian team. Reservations can be made on both sides.

Maya wurde von ihrer Familie in einem kleinen Shelter abgegeben, da sie sich nicht mehr ausreichend um sie kümmern konnten. Kurze Zeit später gebar die kleine Spitzhündin 3 kleine Welpen. Die Sheltermitarbeiter fragten bei der ursprünglichen Familie nach – es stellte sich heraus, dass ein Yorki sie wohl vor der Abgabe gedeckt hatte. Das Tierheim kontaktierte dann unsere Rettungsstation und bat uns die kleine Familie aufzunehmen, damit die kleinen möglichst in Sicherheit aufwachsen können. Nun sind Maya’s Welpen alle alt genug und brauchen keine Muttermilch mehr, weshalb wir ab sofort ein passendes für-immer-Zuhause für die kleine Maus suchen. Maya ist eine Löwenmami und hat ihre Welpen gut versorgt und immerzu verteidigt. Seitdem sie von ihren Welpen getrennt ist zeigt sie ihre liebevolle Seite: sie liebt Menschen, kuschelt gern und sucht immerzu die Nähe unserer Teammitglieder. Wir würden uns ein Zuhause wünschen, wo die kleine Spitzhündin möglichst wenig alleine sein muss. Sie ist noch sehr jung und muss das Hunde 1×1 natürlich noch lernen. Da sie aber eine sehr aufmerksame Hündin ist glauben wir, dass das gemeinsame Training schnell von Erfolgen gekrönt sein wird. Maya ist kein Handtaschenhund: sie möchte wie jeder andere Artgenosse entsprechend körperlich und mental ausgelastet werden. Abwechslungsreiche Spaziergänge sowie Kopfarbeit dürfen im Alltag nicht fehlen. Ebenso würde sie sich über gemeinsame Kuschelabende auf der Couch sehr freuen. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie mittlerweile gut zurecht und zeigt sich oft erst einmal devot. Wir können sie uns sowohl als Einzelprinzessin als auch als Zweithund vorstellen. Kinder sollten mind. im Grundschulalter sein und Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Da sie an sich eine recht entspannte Hündin ist könnte sie ihre Besitzer zukünftig mit ins Büro begleiten. Wie alles andere sollte dies aber kleinschrittig trainiert werden. Wir sehen Maya eher auf dem Land oder Stadtrand, da sie bisher noch nicht viel kennenlernen konnte. Die kleine Hündin hat eine echte Chance auf ein passendes für-immer-Zuhause mehr als verdient. Maya kann ab sofort ausreisen. Du möchtest Maya adoptieren? Dann fülle einfach das Bewerbungsformular aus! HINWEIS: Alle Hunde werden zeitgleich durch das deutsche & ungarische Team vermittelt. Auf beiden Seiten kann es zu Reservierungen kommen.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a very small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Spitz und Pawtners e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. 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. Spitz und Pawtners 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 — Spitz und Pawtners 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 Spitz und Pawtners 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.
