Adopt Mona

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Mona – Lady with the Certain Something → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female→ Born: 01/2016 → Size / Weight: 50 cm / 22 kg→ Neutered: yes→ Vaccinated: yes→ Identification: Chip→ Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs→ Incompatible with: N/A→ Sponsorship possible: yes Description One doesn't usually ask a lady for her age, but let's say this: Mona is no longer one of the young hoppers, but a lady who knows what truly counts in life. Instead of wild flinging and constant action, she now prefers the beautiful sides of everyday life – good company, quiet moments, cuddles, and the secure feeling of finally belonging somewhere. Mona has spent her life so far in the shelter. This means: sofa, TV, vacuum cleaner, or even a doorbell – all still new to her. Even walks through the big, wide world outside are only known to her from the tales of the younger ones. But for that very reason, she dreams of finally grasping the hand (or rather, the leash) that shows her all this. She is an elegant, darkly dressed dog lady, unobtrusive, friendly, and always well-behaved – both with people and in the company of her fellow animals. No diva, no airs, but a companion who goes through life calmly and with open eyes. What she seeks? Not the great adventure or wild parties – but a home where she can simply be a dog.

Mona – Lady mit dem gewissen Etwas → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 01/2016 → Grösse / Gewicht: 50 cm / 22 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Man fragt eine Lady ja bekanntlich nicht nach ihrem Alter … sagen wir es mal so: Mona gehört nicht mehr zu den jungen Hüpfern, sondern zu den Damen, die wissen, was wirklich zählt im Leben. Statt wildem Flegeln und Dauer-Action bevorzugt sie nun die schönen Seiten des Alltags – gute Gesellschaft, ruhige Momente, Streicheleinheiten und das sichere Gefühl, endlich irgendwo anzukommen. Mona hat ihr Leben bisher in der Pension verbracht. Das bedeutet: Sofa, Fernseher, Staubsauger oder gar eine Klingel an der Haustür – alles noch Neuland für sie. Auch Spaziergänge durch die große, weite Welt draußen kennt sie bisher nur aus Erzählungen der Jüngeren. Aber genau deshalb träumt sie davon, endlich die Hand (oder besser gesagt: die Leine) zu ergreifen, die ihr all das zeigt. Sie ist eine elegante, dunkel gekleidete Hundedame, unaufdringlich, freundlich und stets im besten Benehmen – sowohl bei Menschen als auch im Umgang mit ihren Artgenossen. Keine Diva, keine Allüren, sondern eine Begleiterin, die mit ruhigem Wesen und offenen Augen durchs Leben geht. Was sie sucht? Nicht das große Abenteuer oder die wilden Partys – sondern ein Zuhause, wo sie einfach Hund sein darf. Ein gemütlicher Platz, verlässliche Mensc

About Mona

What life with Mona looks like

Mona is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mona?
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 Mona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mona 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 Mona 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 Mona 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 Mona 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.
