How do I contact the shelter about Meri?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Meri on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Meri if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Meri 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 Meri 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meri 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.

Meri

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Meri wird diesen Herbst 8 Jahre alt und kam vor einigen Monaten ins Tierheim. Sie kam nicht allein – sie kam zusammen mit ihrer Hundefamilie. Mit ihr kamen ihr Bruder Chuk, ihre Schwester Poli und ihr Vater, ein 11-jähriger Hund, der glücklicherweise bereits ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Sie kamen nach dem Tod ihres Besitzers ins Tierheim – der einzigen Person und dem einzigen Leben, das sie je gekannt hatten. Meri verbrachte ihr ganzes Leben isoliert in einem Hof, deshalb war die Welt außerhalb davon anfangs völlig fremd und sehr überwältigend für sie. Im Gegensatz zu ihrem Bruder ist Meri schüchtern. Sie ist sehr vorsichtig und zurückhaltend und braucht mehr Zeit, um sich zu entspannen und sich in neuen Situationen sicher zu fühlen. Hinter ihrer Schüchternheit steckt jedoch eine sehr sanfte und liebe Seele, die langsam beginnt, Menschen zu vertrauen. Inzwischen hat sie gelernt, an der Leine zu laufen, und läuft mittlerweile gut mit. Trotzdem lernt sie den Alltag und all die neuen Erfahrungen erst noch kennen. Neue Menschen, Geräusche, Verkehr und unbekannte Situationen sind Dinge, die sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo verstehen und akzeptieren lernt. Wichtig ist zu betonen, dass Meri keinerlei Aggression zeigt. Wenn sie sich unwohl oder ängstlich fühlt, zieht sie sich einfach zurück und sucht Sicherheit, ohne irgendeine negative Reaktion zu zeigen. Sie ist eine sensible, ruhige und freundliche Seele, die einfach Zeit, Geduld und ein Gefühl von Sicherheit braucht. Wir glauben fest daran, dass Meri in einem ruhigen und liebevollen Zuhause mit Menschen, die ihr Verständnis und Sanftheit schenken, langsam aufblühen wird. Sie verlangt nicht viel – nur die Chance, sich endlich sicher und geliebt zu fühlen. Wer möchte der schönen Meri ein neues Zuhause schenken?❤️🐶 Meri darf am 22.08.26 auf eine Pflegestelle nach Deutschland reisen!

About Meri

What life with Meri looks like

Meri is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
