Meda, die Zarte

Mixed Breed · Female

Meda, the Gentle One → Breed: Shepherd Mix → Gender: Female → Date of Birth: approx. 2015 → Height: approx. 42 cm, approx. 26 kg → Spayed: Yes → Vaccinated: Yes → Identification: Microchip → Gets Along With: Male and female dogs → Not Compatible With: N/A Description: Meda is a gentle and cautious black-and-beige mixed-breed dog who, unfortunately, has not had an easy life so far. This fighter comes from a dog-kill shelter where animals are severely mistreated, and as a result, she has found it difficult to trust humans. Despite the many negative experiences she’s had interacting with us two-legged creatures, she hasn’t given up on people and, after initially building trust, now happily lets herself be touched, petted, and loved again. If things ever become too much for her, she’ll show it—not by growling or behaving aloof like some other dogs—but by licking the hand of her loving caregiver. Nevertheless, this brave little dog needs an empathetic owner who is especially understanding and willing to spend time with her. Due to the cruel method of capture using ropes, Meda remains very reluctant to wear a leash. Nonetheless, this sweet girl is capable of giving her owner lots of love and warmth in return, making it impossible not to fall deeply in love with her. Meda gets along wonderfully with other dogs of her own species. Who would like to offer Meda a loving home, a caring foster placement, or a sponsorship?

Meda, die Zarte → Rasse: Schäferhund-Mischling→ Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren am: ca. 2015 → Grösse: ca. 42cm, ca. 26kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.Beschreibung: Meda ist eine sanfte und vorsichtige schwarze-beige Mischlingshündin, die bisher leider kein einfaches Hundeleben hatte. Die Kämpferin kommt aus einer Hunde-Tötungsstation, in der die Tiere schwer misshandelt werden und hatte es in der Folgezeit schwer, den Menschen zu vertrauen. Trotz der vielen negativen Erfahrungen, welche die Kleine im Umgang mit uns Zweibeinern gemacht hat, hat sie die Menschen nicht aufgegeben und lässt sich nun, nach anfänglichem Vertrauensaufbau wieder gerne anfassen, streicheln und lieben. Sollte es ihr doch einmal zu viel werden, zeigt sie das, nicht so wie manch andere Hunde durch knurren oder abweisendes verhalten, sondern dadurch, dass sie die Hand Ihres liebevollen Beschützers abschleckt. Dennoch benötigt die tapfere Hündin ein einfühlsamen und vor allem verständnisvolles Frauchen/Herrchen, das sich Zeit für sie nimmt. Durch das grausame einfangen mit Stricken ist Meda vor allem gegenüber der Leine noch sehr abgeneigt. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die liebe eine Hündin, die ihrem Besitzer viel Liebe und Wärme zurückgeben kann, wodurch man sie nur in sein Herz schließen kann. Mit ihren Artgenossen verträgt Meda sich sehr gut. Wer möchte Meda ein liebevolles Zuhause, eine verständnisvolle Pflegestelle oder eine Pat

About Meda, die Zarte

What life with Meda, die Zarte looks like

Meda, die Zarte is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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 Meda, die Zarte, answered.

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