adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this dog now! Shelby was found motherless and abandoned with her sister Skye – left to fend for themselves. Fortunately, the two were discovered in time and could find a loving foster family in Romania. There, they could grow up in safety, but the foster home is only temporary, so Shelby is now on the search for her forever home. The little Shelby is currently around 2–3 months old and measures approximately 27 cm. She is still in the puppy stage and spends her time on the important things in life: eating, playing, running around, and sometimes stumbling over her own paws. Age-appropriately, she is curious, playful, and open, but can sometimes be a bit stormy and rambunctious when playing – typical puppy behavior. In her foster family, Shelby lives together with children and other dogs and is already gathering many important everyday experiences. Stray cats also drop by regularly, allowing her to experience different impressions. Overall, she shows herself to be a friendly, social, and uncomplicated young female dog who is ready to explore the world. For Shelby, we wish people with time, patience, and joy in showing the world to a young dog. Despite her first experiences in family life, she of course still has much to learn. House training, leash manners, being alone, and all the new impressions of life in her future home will continue to be practiced step by step with her. With loving consistency, clear structures, and positive reinforcement, she will develop into a loyal companion. Attending a positively working dog training class could be a valuable support and help in strengthening the bond between human and dog. Shelby is looking for people who will give her security, love, and safety and go through life with her. Even a secure foster home would be a great opportunity for the little fluff ball! Many thanks to Andrea M.! You gave Shelby her name! Date: 30.05. This animal is vaccinated. This animal is microchipped.

Shelby wurde gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Skye mutterlos und ausgesetzt gefunden – einfach sich selbst überlassen. Zum Glück wurden die beiden rechtzeitig entdeckt und durften in Rumänien in einer liebevollen Pflegefamilie unterkommen. Dort können sie erst einmal in Sicherheit aufwachsen, doch die Pflegestelle ist nur zeitlich begrenzt, weshalb Shelby nun auf der Suche nach ihrem eigenen Für-immer-Zuhause ist. Die kleine Shelby ist aktuell etwa 2–3 Monate alt und misst derzeit ca. 27 cm. Sie steckt mitten im Welpenalter und beschäftigt sich vor allem mit den wichtigen Dingen des Lebens: fressen, spielen, herumtoben und dabei auch mal über die eigenen Pfötchen stolpern. Altersentsprechend zeigt sie sich neugierig, verspielt und offen, kann beim Spielen aber manchmal noch etwas stürmisch und übermütig sein – ganz typisch Welpe eben. In ihrer Pflegefamilie lebt Shelby gemeinsam mit Kindern und anderen Hunden zusammen und sammelt dort bereits viele wichtige Alltagserfahrungen. Auch Streunerkatzen schauen regelmäßig vorbei, sodass sie verschiedene Eindrücke kennenlernen darf. Insgesamt zeigt sie sich als freundliche, soziale und unkomplizierte junge Hündin, die bereit ist, die Welt zu entdecken. Für Shelby wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Zeit, Geduld und Freude daran, einem jungen Hund die Welt zu zeigen. Trotz ihrer ersten Erfahrungen im Familienalltag muss sie natürlich noch vieles lernen. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, Alleinbleiben und all die vielen neuen Eindrücke des Lebens in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause werden weiterhin Schritt für Schritt mit ihr geübt werden müssen. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz, klaren Strukturen und positiver Bestärkung wird sie sich zu einer treuen Begleiterin entwickeln. Der Besuch einer positiv arbeitenden Hundeschule kann hierbei eine wertvolle Unterstützung sein und hilft zusätzlich dabei, die Bindung zwischen Mensch und Hund zu stärken. Shelby sucht Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit, Liebe und Geborgenheit schenken und gemeinsam mit ihr durchs Leben gehen möchten. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen Übernahme einer Schutzgebühr kann Shelby gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause reisen. Auch eine sichere Pflegestelle wäre für die kleine Flauschekugel eine wichtige Chance! Vielen Dank Andrea M.! Du hast Shelby ihren Namen geschenkt! Stand: 30.05.2026

About Shelby

What life with Shelby looks like

Shelby is a 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 Shelby, answered.

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