How do I contact the shelter about Purzel?

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

Can I adopt Purzel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Purzel 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 Purzel 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 Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Purzel 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Purzel has found a home! His story: Purzel was found together with his sister Bellaria next to a well, probably someone abandoned the puppy babies there. Our volunteer Raluca took them in; alone, they wouldn't have had a chance to survive. Luckily, Raluca was at the right place at the right time and saved their lives. Purzel is currently about 5 months old, approximately 45 cm tall, and weighs around 15 kg and is expected to reach a medium body size when fully grown. We met Purzel during a visit in late February, but unfortunately, he hasn't yet developed into a brave little puppy. He is safely housed in the foster station, but he lacks the close bond with humans and the attention and affection needed for a healthy development for his young puppy life. Purzel is not afraid, only shy and overwhelmed outside this property. With other dogs, he shows good compatibility and currently lives with around 25 other dogs. For Purzel, we wish to find a loving family that will take him by the paw and show him what life outside offers. Purzel has a very gentle and loving nature and is not afraid. He is only shy and reserved, but can be handled well and, in a quieter environment, can also be guided. With many positive experiences and a great joy in learning, he will surely want to understand everything soon and gain self-confidence.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Purzel hat ein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Purzel wurde gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Bellaria neben einem Brunnen gefunden, wahrscheinlich hat jemand die Hundebabies dort ausgesetzt. Unsere Freiwillige Raluca nahm die beiden mit, alleine hätten sie keine Chance gehabt zu überleben. Zum Glück war Raluca zur rechten Zeit am rechten Ort und ihnen damit das Leben gerettet. Purzel ist aktuell ca. 5 Monate alt, ca. 45 cm groß und wiegt etwa 15 kg und wird vermutlich ausgewachsen eine mittlere Körpergröße erreichen. Purzel haben wir bereits bei einem Besuch Ende Februar kennengelernt und leider konnte er sich bisher noch nicht zu einem tapferen kleinen Hundebub entwickeln. Er ist in der Pflegestation sicher untergebracht, aber ihm fehlt die enge Bindung an Menschen und es ist zu wenig Zeit, ihm die Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung zu geben, die er in seinem jungen Hundeleben für eine altersgerechte Entwicklung braucht. Purzel ist nicht ängstlich, nur scheu und überfordert außerhalb dieses Grundstückes. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich gut verträglich und lebt aktuell mit ca. 25 Hunden zusammen. Für Purzel wünschen wir uns eine liebevolle Familie, die ihn an der Pfote nimmt und ihm zeigt, was das Leben draußen noch alles bietet . Purzel hat ein sehr sanftes und liebes Wesen und ist nicht ängstlich. Er ist nur scheu und zurückhaltend, lässt sich aber gut anfassen und in einem ruhigeren Umfeld sicher auch gut anleiten. Mit vielen positiven Erlebnissen und einer großen Freude am Lernen wird er sicher bald alles verstehen wollen und an Selbstvertrauen gewinnen. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre ihm sicher eine große Unterstützung und er könnte sich viel abschauen, es ist aber kein Muss für eine

About Purzel

What life with Purzel looks like

Purzel is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
