How do I contact the shelter about Muffin?

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

Can I adopt Muffin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Muffin 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 Muffin 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 Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Muffin 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.

Muffin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

♂, born 12/2024 - intelligent - curious - athletic in 14165 Berlin-Zehlendorf Muffin is a mixed-breed male dog born in December 2024 with a shoulder height of approximately 48 cm. Muffin had a difficult start in life, as the offspring of his mother were unwanted. At just six weeks old, the four siblings were separated from her and were left in a cardboard box at our doorstep. From the beginning, Muffin was the most curious of the four. He craves attention and wants to discover everything, is athletic, and suitable for various activities. Muffin needs daily adequate exercise, but also mental stimulation, as he is intelligent and gets bored quickly. We are looking for dog-experienced people for Muffin who have plenty of time for him, are very active, and are interested in training. It should be clear to them that Muffin is not a dog that can be kept "on the side." Both house and garden are a condition for him. Muffin could be adopted as a single dog or as a second dog to a sovereign only dog. Muffin is already vaccinated and microchipped. Castration is recommended as he has a unilateral cryptorchidism. Muffin is in a foster home in 14165 Berlin-Zehlendorf. Several visits for mutual acquaintances are necessary if interested. The adoption fee for Muffin is 460 Euro. Would you like to give Muffin a home? Then please contact us using the following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♂, geb. 12/2024intelligent - neugierig - sportlichin 14165 Berlin-Zehlendorf Muffin ist ein 12/2024 geborener Mischlingsrüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 48 cm. Muffin hatte einen schwierigen Start ins Leben, denn der Nachwuchs seiner Mama war unerwünscht. Viel zu früh wurden die vier Geschwister von ihr getrennt, sie waren erst sechs Wochen alt, als sie in einem Pappkarton vor unserer Tür ausgesetzt wurden. Muffin war von Anfang an der neugierigste der vier. Er wünscht viel Aufmerksamkeit und möchte alles entdecken, ist sportlich und für allerlei Aktivitäten geeignet. Muffin braucht täglich ausreichend Auslauf, aber auch mentale Auslastung, denn er ist intelligent und langweilt sich schnell. Wir suchen für Muffin hundeerfahrene Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben, selbst sehr aktiv sind und Lust auf Training haben. Es sollte ihnen bewusst sein, dass Muffin kein Hund ist, der „nebenher“ gehalten werden kann. Haus und Garten sind Bedingung bei ihm. Muffin könnte als Einzelhund oder als Zweithund zu einem souveränen Ersthund vermittelt werden. Muffin ist bereits geimpft und gechippt. Die Kastration ist angeraten, da er einen einseitigen Hodenhochstand hat. Muffin befindet sich in einer Pflegestelle in 14165 Berlin-Zehlendorf. Bei Interesse sind mehrere Besuche zum gegenseitigen Kennenlernen notwendig. Die Schutzgebühr für Muffin beträgt 460 Euro. Sie möchten Muffin ein Zuhause geben?

About Muffin

What life with Muffin looks like

Muffin is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An young 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.
