Megan

Female · Adult · 6 years

Age: Approx. 01.01.2020 Breed: Hunting dog mix Sex: Female Neutered: Yes Origin: Sardinia Location: 52372 Kreuzau-Stockheim Shoulder height: 45 cm Weight: 15 kg Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Mediterranean check: Leishmaniasis, Hepatozoonosis, and Babesiosis have been treated. Illnesses: None known Compatible with males: Yes Compatible with females: Yes Cats: Not known, but possible Children: From school age onward Helpers in Sardinia took in puppies, as they were living along a heavily trafficked country road. Megan ran away during this rescue operation and was not seen for a while. Then she was spotted here and there from time to time. Since she was in danger of being caught by municipal dog catchers and locked up in the animal shelter, a dog trap was set up. Fortunately, she was hungry and thirsty, so she was then secured. Megan is now in a foster placement, still a bit shy, but this will pass. As she is a hunting dog, you should expect that she cannot be let off the leash everywhere. Megan needs active people who will run with her or take her along on bicycle rides. She needs good physical exercise and good mental stimulation so that she can be a happy and calm dog at home. Who will take on this challenge? Update from 01.10.2021: Megan has now been in the foster placement in Germany for some time. She has settled in quite well. She enjoys life in the pack. She is still cautious around people, but she always stays close to them. Walks were initially very slow, because her nose, as is typical of a good hunting dog, was on the ground. She shows a great passion for digging out mice. By now she also enjoys going for walks. She is a calm housemate, but in the garden, with the young dogs, things get lively and the play becomes loud and wild. We believe she is making up for some of her youth. She became a mother very early, to 4 lovely sons, whom she raised alone in the wild. Now it is her turn. Since she is very good with other dogs, she could be a lovely companion for a first-time dog owner. Her people should have a lot of patience so that she can enjoy cuddling and being petted without fear. So who has plenty of love, time, and patience? 20210926_094636 We are looking for a kind family with good dog experience, who is willing to introduce her to her new life with love, patience, and a confident demeanor. Children should have reached at least school age or have grown up with dogs. If you can offer this home, we look forward to hearing from you. Please also read our information on

Alter: Ca. 01.01.2020 Rasse: Jagdhundmix Geschlecht: Hündin Kastriert: Ja Herkunft: Sardinien Aufenthalt: 52372 Kreuzau-Stockheim Schulterhöhe: 45 cm Gewicht: 15 kg Geimpft: ja Gechipt: ja Mittelmeercheck: Leishmaniose, Hepatozoonose , Babesiose ist behandelt. Krankheiten: keine bekannt Rüden: Ja Hündinnen: Ja Katzen: Nicht bekannt, aber denkbar Kinder: Ab Schulalter Helfer auf Sardinien haben Welpen aufgenommen, denn sie lebten an einer stark befahrenen Landstraße. Megan ist bei dieser Aktion weggelaufen und man sah sie eine Zeit nicht. Dann sah man sie hier und da mal. Da sie in Gefahr lief von städtischen Hundefängern eingefangen und ins Tierheim gesperrt zu werden, stellte man die Hundefangbox auf. Zum Glück hatte sie Hunger und Durst und somit war sie dann in Sicherheit. Megan ist nun auf einer Pflegestelle, noch etwas schüchtern, aber das wird vergehen. Da sie eine Jagdhündin ist, sollte man damit rechnen, dass man sie nicht überall ableinen kann. Megan braucht sportliche Menschen, die mit ihr laufen oder auch am Fahrrad mitnehmen. Sie braucht gute körperliche und für den Kopf gute gedankliche Auslastung, damit sie im Haus eine glückliche und ruhige Hündin sein kann. Wer stellt sich dieser Herausforderung? Aktualisierung vom 01.10.2021 Nun ist Megan schon einige Zeit auf der Pflegestelle in Deutschland. Sie hat sich recht gut eingelebt. Das Rudelleben gefällt ihr. Bei Menschen ist sie noch vorsichtig, aber ist immer in ihrer Nähe. Spaziergänge waren anfangs etwas sehr langsam, denn ihre Nase, wie sich das bei einem guten Jagdhund gehört, war auf der Erde. Eine große Vorliebe zeigt sie beim Mäuse aus buddeln. Mittlerweile gefällt ihr auch das Spazierengehen. Sie ist eine ruhige Hausgenossin aber im Garten, mit den Junghunden geht die Post ab und das Spiel wird laut und wild. Wir glauben sie holt ihre Jugend ein bisschen nach, sie war sehr früh Mutter von 4 netten Söhnen, die sie alleine in der Freiheit aufgezogen hat. Nun ist sie dran. Da sie sehr hundeverträglich ist kann sie gerne zu einem netten Ersthund. Ihre Menschen sollten viel Geduld haben damit sie ohne Angst das Schmusen und Streicheln genießen kann. Wer hat also viel Liebe, Zeit und Geduld? 20210926_094636 Wir suchen für Megan eine nette Familie mit guter Hundeerfahrung, die dazu bereit ist, sie mit Liebe, Geduld und einem souveränen Auftreten in das neue Leben einzuführen. Kinder sollten mindestens das Schulalter erreicht haben oder mit Hunden aufgewachsen sein. Wenn Sie dieses Zuhause bieten können, freuen wir uns über Ihre Kontaktaufnahme.

About Megan

What life with Megan looks like

Megan is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at NiemandsHunde in Kerpen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Megan, answered.

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