adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Shadow has found a home! His story: Shadow had a tough start in life. Found together with his five siblings in a deserted mountain hut, they would have had little chance without shelter, food, or care from humans. Only because they found some shelter under a window and their caring mother was with them, they managed to survive this hard time. Today, that time is behind him. Shadow was allowed to travel and is currently in Switzerland, 8107 Buchs ZH, where he now waits for his permanent home. There, he shows every day what a cheerful, well-socialized, and really cuddly little guy he is inside. Shadow is a typical young dog with a lot of mischief in his head. He is playful, curious, and friendly to everyone. He likes people, cats are okay for him, he gets along well with other dogs, and outside, nothing is more exciting than exploring the world with his nose. Walks make him very happy, and he already walks nicely on the leash. At home, he also shows himself to be a pleasant roommate. He can relax well, orient himself to his people, and is on a very good path to being house-trained. If you are attentive and take him out in time, it works well. Still, it's important not to forget that Shadow is still a young dog who still has much to learn. His new home should be ready to build on what he has already learned. Things like being alone, consistent routines, new environments, or everyday situations still require patience, clear structures, and loving guidance. Puberty still lies ahead. During this time, rules are often questioned, and things may not work as smoothly as before. This is completely normal and requires people who remain calm, are consistent, and work with positive reinforcement. A positively working dog training class can be a great help and strengthen the bond between human and dog. Shadow will likely grow into a small to medium-sized dog and is looking for people who enjoy accompanying him, learning with him, and giving him security. For those who are looking for a young, cheerful, and very lovable companion, Shadow will be a real treasure. He is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated, and has an EU pet passport. Shadow is not yet neutered as he is still too young for that. Who falls in love with this little good mood dog and gives Shadow his own home? Many thanks to the namingsponsor Mandi, who gave Shadow his name and thus the chance at a new life. As of: 13.03. This is a puppy.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Shadow hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Shadow hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit seinen fünf Geschwistern wurde er in einer verlassenen Berghütte im Gebirge gefunden. Ohne Schutz, ohne Versorgung und ohne Menschen, die sich kümmerten, hätten die Welpen dort kaum eine Chance gehabt. Nur weil sie unter einem Fenster etwas Schutz fanden und ihre fürsorgliche Mama bei ihnen war, konnten sie diese schwere Zeit überstehen. Heute liegt diese Zeit hinter ihm. Shadow durfte ausreisen und befindet sich aktuell in der Schweiz in 8107 Buchs ZH, wo er nun auf sein endgültiges Zuhause wartet. Dort zeigt er jeden Tag, was für ein fröhlicher, verschmuster und richtig knuffiger kleiner Kerl in ihm steckt. Shadow ist ein typischer junger Hund mit ganz viel Schalk im Kopf. Er ist verspielt, neugierig und freundlich zu allem und jedem. Menschen findet er toll, Katzen sind für ihn in Ordnung, mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut und draußen gibt es für ihn nichts Spannenderes, als die Welt mit der Nase zu entdecken. Spaziergänge machen ihm großen Spaß, und an der Leine läuft er schon richtig ordentlich mit. Auch im Haus zeigt er sich als angenehmer Mitbewohner. Er kann gut zur Ruhe kommen, orientiert sich an seinen Menschen und ist auf einem sehr guten Weg stubenrein zu werden. Wenn man aufmerksam ist und ihn rechtzeitig nach draußen bringt, klappt das schon richtig gut. Trotzdem darf man nicht vergessen, dass Shadow noch ein junger Hund ist, der weiterhin lernen muss. Sein neues Zuhause sollte bereit sein, an das anzuknüpfen, was er bisher gelernt hat. Dinge wie Alleinebleiben, feste Abläufe, neue Umgebungen oder Alltagssituationen brauchen weiterhin Geduld, klare Strukturen und liebevolle Führung. Auch die Pubertät steht ihm noch bevor. In dieser Zeit werden Regeln gerne hinterfragt und manches klappt plötzlich nicht mehr so selbstverständlich wie zuvor. Das ist völlig normal, braucht aber Menschen, die ruhig bleiben, konsequent sind und mit positiver Verstärkung arbeiten. Eine positiv arbeitende Hundeschule kann hier eine große Hilfe sein und stärkt gleichzeitig die Bindung zwischen Mensch und Hund. Shadow wird vermutlich einmal ein kleiner bis mittelgroßer Hund werden und sucht Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihn weiter zu begleiten, mit ihm zu lernen und ihm Sicherheit zu geben. Wer einen jungen, fröhlichen und sehr liebenswerten Begleiter sucht, wird mit Shadow einen echten Schatz finden. Er ist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Shadow ist noch nicht kastriert, da er dafür aktuell noch zu jung ist. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Wer verliebt sich in diesen kleinen Gute Laune Hund und schenkt Shadow sein eigenes Zuhause? Vielen Dank an die Namenspatin Mandi, die Shadow seinen Namen und damit die Chance auf ein neues Leben geschenkt hat. Stand: 13.03.2026

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

Shadow is a medium-sized 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shadow, answered.

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