How do I contact the shelter about Shakes?

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 Shakes on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shakes 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 Shakes 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 Shakes 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 Shakes 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 Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Shakes has found a home! His story: The sweet Shakes with a standing ear and a folding ear is currently living in Gießen in his foster home. He has settled in wonderfully and especially enjoys the beautiful walking and running rounds. With his two dog buddies, Shakes can already often run along on the jogging rounds. He has quickly understood this and behaves very well, always very focused. In general, he is very smart and learns everything very quickly. He loves getting tasks and learning new things. Head and nose work are his favorite hobbies. For Shakes, who is called Felix in his foster home, it would be great if he could continue to be active and go for nice walks or go hiking sometimes. He can also very well run along on a bicycle or while jogging. But of course, long cuddle sessions and extensive playing should not be missing either. Felix is completely fearless and is not intimidated by loud noises. New Year's Eve or large events with many people find him super exciting and he is always curious. Also during the search for a new home, he is always at the front. Originally, Felix came from Zalau, Romania. There, he lived in our private shelter and suffered extremely under the cramped and lonely conditions. With one ear always up, the tongue always out, and eyes wide awake – as if Felix wanted to feel life with all his senses and in every moment. His body size of about 55 cm and a weight of about 26 kg certainly also help, but especially Felix's openness and the deep trust with which he meets everyone from dog to human. And because he is still only about 1.5 to 2 years old, sometimes things can be a bit stormy, looking forward to the next adventure, the next pat. Felix often compensates for himself. Due to his appearance and the assessment of the veterinarian, we assume that he is a German Shepherd mix – and his behavior also speaks for this: Felix exudes energy and joy of life, learns very quickly, especially when there is food involved. 🙂 Our Felix is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. He has an EU pet passport and can be adopted after a positive match. Has Shakes, now Felix, won your heart? Then we look forward to your inquiry! Many thanks Claudia D.! Your nametag was the starting gun for a new life! A big thank you also goes to www.schmutznasen.com for the great pictures. As of: 31.07.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Shakes hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Der süße Shakes mit einem Steh- und einem Klappohr lebt aktuell in Gießen in seiner Pflegestelle. Er hat sich bereits super eingelebt und genießt vor allem die schönen Gassi- und Laufrunden. Mit seinen beiden Hundekumpels kann Shakes schon öfter bei den Joggingrunden mitlaufen. Das hat er sehr schnell verstanden und verhält sich dabei vorbildlich und ist immer sehr konzentriert. Generell ist er sehr schlau und lernt alles sehr schnell. Er liebt es Aufgaben zu bekommen und neue Dinge zu lernen. Kopf- und Nasenarbeit sind sein Lieblingshobby. Für Shakes, der in seiner Pflegestelle Felix genannt wird, wäre es daher super, wenn er weiterhin aktiv sein darf und schöne Gassirunden gehen darf oder gerne auch mal wandern gehen kann. Am Fahrrad oder beim Joggen mitlaufen, kann er auch sehr gut. Aber natürlich dürfen lange Kuschelstunden und ausgiebiges Spielen auch nicht zu kurz kommen. Felix ist komplett angstfrei und lässt sich von keinen lauten Geräuschen beeindrucken. Silvester oder Großveranstaltungen mit vielen Menschen findet er super spannend und ist immer neugierig. Auch bei der Fährtensuche ist er immer vorne dabei. Ursprünglich kommt Felix aus Zalau, Rumänien. Dort lebte er in unserem privaten Shelter und litt extrem unter der Enge und Einsamkeit. Ein Ohr immer oben, die Zunge immer draußen, die Augen hellwach – als wollte Felix mit allen Sinnen und in jedem Moment das Leben spüren. Da hilft seine Körpergröße von ca. 55 cm und ein Gewicht von ca. 26 kg sicher auch, vor allem aber Felix Offenheit und das tiefe Zutrauen, mit dem er von Hund bis Mensch jedem begegnet. Und weil er eben doch erst ca. 1,5-2 Jahre alt ist, fällt das manchmal etwas stürmisch aus, in Vorfreude auf das nächste Abenteuer, die nächste Streicheleinheit überholt sich Felix gern selbst ab und zu. Aufgrund seines Aussehens und der Einschätzung des Tierarztes gehen wir davon aus, dass er ein Schäferhund-Mischling ist – und auch sein Verhalten spricht dafür: Felix sprüht vor Energie und Lebensfreude, lernt blitzschnell, vor allem, wenn dabei Futter im Spiel ist. 🙂 Unser Felix ist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Er besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro jederzeit in sein neues Leben ziehen. Hat Shakes, jetzt Felix, dein Herz gewonnen? Dann freuen wir uns auf deine Anfrage! Vielen Dank Claudia D.! Deine Namenspatenschaft war der Startschuss in ein neues Leben! Ein großer Dank geht auch an www.schmutznasen.com für die tollen Bilder.

About Shakes

What life with Shakes looks like

Shakes is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
