Maya

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

August 2022 | Growing | Foster home in Duisburg Maya was seen more often near our shelter a few weeks ago. A friend called Dimitra when he saw her again, and fortunately it was possible for her to catch the little one. She took her to the vet, where she was examined and vaccinated. She was doing well and had everything she needed. After living at our shelter for two weeks, she came to her current foster family in Duisburg on January 10. There she can be met by arrangement. Her foster family describes her as a very open and friendly female dog who has no fear of people or other dogs. She approaches everyone politely and curiously. A totally affectionate nature. In Duisburg she lives with two other dogs and that works smoothly. She naturally likes to play and also encourages others to play. If the other dogs are not interested, she immediately respects the boundaries and understands dog communication very well. A family with an existing dog, whom she can follow and learn from, would certainly be very good for her. Basic skills such as walking on a leash and being alone work already. She is simply a very smart and trainable female dog who is very oriented towards people and likes to follow. Just a small treasure of gold with whom you can grow together. PAW HEROES e.V.

*August 2022 | Im Wachstum | Pflegestelle in Duisburg Maya wurde vor ein paar Wochen öfters in der Nähe unserer Auffangstation gesehen.Ein Bekannter rief Dimitra an, als er sie wieder sah und zum Glück war es ihr möglich, die Kleine einzufangen.Sie brachte sie zum Arzt, dort wurde sie untersucht und geimpft. Ihr ging es gut und ihr fehlte nichts. Nachdem sie zwei Wochen auf unserer Auffangstation lebte, kam sie am 10.01 zu ihrer jetzigen Pflegefamilie nach Duisburg.Dort kann sie nach Absprache kennengelernt werden. Ihre Pflegefamilie beschreibt sie als sehr offene und zutrauliche Hündin, die keinerlei Scheu vor Menschen und anderen Hunden hat.Sie geht auf jeden freundlich und neugierig zu. Ein total liebes Wesen. In Duisburg lebt sie mit zwei anderen Hunden zusammen und auch das klappt problemlos. Sie spielt natürlich gerne und fordert auch gerne dazu auf. Haben die anderen Hunde keine Lust, respektiert sie trotzdem sofort die Grenzen und versteht die Hundekommunikation super.Ihr würde eine Familie mit bereits vorhandenem Hund, an dem sie sich orientieren und von dem sie lernen kann, sicherlich sehr gut tun. Die Basics wie Leinenführigkeit und Alleinebleiben klappen auch bereits. Sie ist einfach eine sehr schlaue und lernfähige Hündin, die sich sehr am Menschen orientiert und gerne folgt.Einfach ein kleiner Goldschatz mit dem man zusammen wachsen kann. PAW HEROES e.V.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

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.

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. og:image 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 — og:image 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 og:image 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.
