Merle

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Die kleine Merle wurde an einem Ort im Wald gefunden, an welchen im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder verletzte und ausgesetzte Hunde von unseren Tierschützern gerettet werden. Mehrmals pro Woche wird in diesem Gebiet nach zurückgelassenen Seelen geschaut um diese zu füttern. Irgendwann ist Merle dort aufgetaucht und hat jedes mal Freudenschreie von sich gegeben, wenn sie sah, dass Leute kamen während sie mit ihrem Nachwuchs auf Futter wartete. Obwohl Sie ausgesetzt wurde und unter sehr harten Bedingungen lebte, vertraut sie den Menschen immer noch und freut sich über die noch so kleinste Aufmerksamkeit. Nach ein paar Tagen gelang es den Tierschützern, sie mit ihren Welpen von dort mitzunehmen, kastrieren zu lassen und an einen sicheren Ort zu bringen, wo sie nicht mehr allein ums überleben kämpfen muss. Mit anderen Hunden verträgt sie sich sehr gut.

About Merle

What life with Merle looks like

Merle is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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 Merle, answered.

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