Muffin

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Muffin has been with us for 3 years already. His previous life had taught him to be wary and cautious of people. It thus took a long time for Muffin to begin to trust us and cooperate with us. In the meantime, Muffin has become more accustomed to people. He enjoys being stroked and is happy to see bipeds. We are looking for a quiet home for Muffin with access to an enclosed garden. Since he has never been trained to go for walks, this is not one of his favorite activities. Instead, he prefers to keep a safe distance from his people when he feels it is better. To be clear, Muffin has never bitten or injured any of us. Muffin is a happy singleton; with other dogs, he knows nothing of their company and avoids contact with them.

DE·Show original

Muffin wartet bereits seit 3 Jahren bei uns. Sein vorheriges Leben hatte ihn gelehrt, Menschen gegenüber misstrauisch und vorsichtig zu sein. Es dauerte somit sehr lange bis Muffin anfing, uns zu vertrauen und mit uns zu kooperieren.Inzwischen ist Muffin den Menschen wieder mehr zu gewandt. Er lässt sich gerne streicheln und freut sich über die Zweibeiner. Wir suchen für Muffin ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Zugang zu einem eingezäunten Garten. Da er von klein auf nie gewohnt war Gassi zu gehen, gehört dies auch bis heute nicht zu seinem Lieblingstätigkeiten. Viel lieber hält er sich bei seinen Menschen auf immer mit der Sicherheit auf Distanz zu gehen, wenn er es für besser empfindet. Um es klar zu sagen, Muffin hat noch nie gebissen bzw. auch keinen von uns verletzt. Muffin ist gerne Einzelprinz, mit anderen Hunden weiß er nichts anzufangen bzw. meidet auch den Kontakt mit ihnen.

About Muffin

What life with Muffin looks like

Muffin is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tuttlingen in Germany.

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 Muffin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Muffin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tuttlingen 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 — Tierheim Tuttlingen 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 Tierheim Tuttlingen 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.
