Maya

Romanian Shepherd · Female · Adult · 8 years

Maya kam als Fundhund zu uns. Bei der Abholung wurde sie uns jedoch direkt übereignet, da man mit ihr überfordert war. Die Hündin war erst vor kurzem übernommen worden und man konnte ihr nicht gerecht werden. Maya ist eine wirklich nette und freundliche Hündin, die sich glücklicherweise recht schnell an unseren Tierheimalltag gewöhnt hat. Sie geht sehr gerne spazieren und ist auch wirklich brav. Sie kennt die Grundkommandos und hat kein Problem mit Artgenossen. Da sie ein Mioritic-Mix ist, trägt sie eine Portion Herdenschutzhund in sich. Bisher konnten wir noch keine typischen Charakterzüge dieser Rasse bei ihr entdecken, aber das könnte sich in einem festen Zuhause ja noch ändern. Interessierte sollten sich deshalb mit den Besonderheiten dieser Rasse beschäftigen. Maya wünscht sich Menschen, die Hundeerfahrung haben, sich gerne an der frischen Luft bewegen und vielleicht nicht mitten im Großstadttrubel wohnen. Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Maya interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a large adult romanian shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Tierheim Köln 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 — Tierheim Köln 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 Tierheim Köln 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.
