Adopt MINNA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

I am MINNA – large in stature, but even larger in love. I may be an impressive big female dog, but the most impressive thing about me is my heart. My life suddenly changed when my owner left the country and left me along with my best dog friend at the Public Shelter Ecosal. We had only each other. But then my friend died—and I was left alone. Fortunately, I was rescued. Now I am safe in the animal shelter. And although my heart was heavy, I kept one thing: my love for people. And I have found a new loyal friend here, with whom I share the kennel. I am an absolute heart dog. When you come to me, I greet you kindly, openly, and full of warmth. Despite my size, my body is soft, relaxed, and approachable. I trust quickly, let myself be touched anywhere, and I enjoy every form of affection. I particularly like it when you pet me—then I close my eyes and gently lean against you. I am easygoing, confident, and balanced. I get along well with other dogs, and I meet people—regardless of their size—with kindness and gentleness. I just want to belong. I want to be part of a family that loves me and shows me that I will never be left again. I fit into many life situations: for couples, families, or individuals. The important thing is that you meet me with love, calmness, and clear guidance. Then you will have a loyal, social, and joyful companion by your side—a female dog who walks through life with you, seeks closeness, and makes each day a little brighter. Maybe I am exactly the big, gentle soul that is still missing in your home.

Ich bin MINNA – groß an Statur, aber noch größer an Liebe❣ Ich bin vielleicht eine beeindruckend große Hündin, aber das Beeindruckendste an mir ist mein Herz. Mein Leben hat sich plötzlich verändert, als mein Besitzer das Land verließ und mich gemeinsam mit meinem besten Hundefreund im Public Shelter Ecosal zurückließ. Wir hatten nur uns. Doch dann starb mein Freund – und ich blieb allein zurück. Zum Glück wurde ich gerettet. Jetzt bin ich im Tierheim in Sicherheit. Und obwohl mein Herz schwer war, habe ich mir eines bewahrt: meine Liebe zu Menschen. Und ich habe hier einen neuen, loyalen Freund gefunden, mit dem ich mir den Zwinger teile. Ich bin ein absoluter Herzenshund. Wenn du zu mir kommst, begrüße ich dich freundlich, offen und voller Wärme. Trotz meiner Größe ist mein Körper weich, entspannt und zugewandt. Ich vertraue schnell, lasse mich überall anfassen, und ich genieße jede Form von Zuwendung. Besonders schön finde ich es, wenn man mich krault – dann schließe ich die Augen und lehne mich ganz sanft an. Ich bin gelassen, souverän und ausgeglichen. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht, und Menschen – egal ob groß oder klein – begegne ich freundlich und sanft. Ich möchte einfach dazugehören. Ich möchte Teil einer Familie sein, die mich liebt und mir zeigt, dass ich nie wieder verlassen werde. Ich passe in viele Lebenskonstellationen: zu Paaren, zu Familien, zu Einzelpersonen. Wichtig ist nur, dass du mir mit Liebe, Ruhe und klarer Führung begegnest. Dann bekommst du eine treue, soziale und fröhliche Begleiterin an deine Seite – eine Hündin, die mit dir durchs Leben geht, die Nähe sucht und die jeden Tag ein bisschen heller macht. Vielleicht bin ich genau die große, sanfte Seele, die in deinem Zuhause noch fehlt.

About MINNA

What life with MINNA looks like

MINNA is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

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. 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 MINNA, answered.

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