How do I contact the shelter about Shelley?

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

Can I adopt Shelley 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 Shelley 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 Shelley 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 Shelley 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 Shelley has found her home! Her story: This little mouse is named Shelley (now Lotta) and unfortunately hasn't had much luck in her life. She was found in 2020 with severe bite wounds from other dogs and has been completely traumatized since then. So, a very poor soul for which we wish for a super beautiful, loving, and most importantly, empathetic home! Shelley currently lives on a foster home in Germany and is desperately looking for her very own people. Since Shelley (Lotta) drinks a lot due to stress, she is also not fully house-trained yet, so an immediate access to the garden would be optimal for the little mouse. Kidney problems, liver problems, bladder infection, or other infections have been ruled out by the vet. Through her terrible past, the little mouse has lost a lot of joy in life, so we are looking for a family that can fully focus on her and support her with a lot of love, empathy, and care. Therefore, it would be good if there are no other four-legged family members. Due to her trauma, she feels most comfortable and safe at home and therefore does not need large walks, but would rather stay in her familiar environment, preferably in the garden. The insecurity also manifests itself strongly in her, with a lot of whining, barking, and if she feels completely threatened, she also tries to snap at something. On the other hand, she is the loving one who searches for hidden cuddly toys. If she doesn't get it, she sits in front of it and waits quietly until it is given to her. If she doesn't find it, she looks at you with a runny eye and asks for help. She also loves to cuddle and walks nicely on the leash when no other dogs are in sight. Shelley rides problem-free in the doggy bike carrier, and also being alone works well. We are looking for people for Shelley who are ready to work with her and a dog psychologist on her fears and try to help her forget her past and give her a new, loving future. Shelley is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. She has an EU pet passport and can travel after a positive result. Who would like to go through life with Shelley and show her the beautiful sides of life? Many thanks to Meike Mimi A.! You gave Shelley a name and thus an identity! Date: 19.04.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Shelley hat ihr Zuhause gefunden! Ihre Geschichte: Diese kleine Maus heißt Shelley (jetzt Lotta) und hatte leider noch nicht viel Glück in ihrem Leben. Sie wurde 2020 völlig wundgebissen von anderen Hunden aufgefunden, und ist seitdem komplett traumatisiert. Also eine ganz arme Seele, für welche wir uns ein superschönes, liebevolles und vor allem ein empathisches Zuhause wünschen! Shelley lebt derzeit auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland, und sucht dringend ihre ganz eigenen Menschen. Da Shelley (Lotta) stressbedingt sehr viel trinkt, ist sie auch noch nicht komplett stubenrein, daher wäre ein direkter Zugang zum Garten optimal für die kleine Maus. Nierenprobleme, Leberprobleme Blasenentzündung oder anderweitige Entzündungen konnten durch den Tierarzt ausgeschlossen werden. Durch ihre schreckliche Vorgeschichte wurden der kleinen Maus viel Lebensfreude genommen, deshalb suchen wir für sie eine Familie, die sich voll und ganz auf sie konzentriert und sie durch ganz viel Liebe, Empathie und Fürsorge bestärkt. Deshalb wäre es gut, wenn noch keine anderen Vierbeiner in der Familie wohnen. Durch ihr Trauma fühlt sie sich zuhause am wohlsten und am sichersten und benötigt daher keine großen Gassi Runden, sondern möchte lieber in ihrem gewohnten Umfeld bleiben, am liebsten im Garten. Auch die Unsicherheit macht sich bei ihr stark bemerkbar, indem sie viel jault, bellt und wenn sie sich ganz bedroht fühlt, versucht sie auch mal nach einem zu schnappen. Auf der anderen Seite ist sie die Liebevolle, welche gerne nach versteckten Kuscheltieren sucht. Wenn sie nicht drankommt, setzt sie sich davor und wartet ruhig, bis man es ihr gibt. Findet sie es nicht, kommt sie zu einem angelaufen schaut einen fragend an und bittet um Hilfe. Auch kuschelt sie sehr gerne, und läuft brav an der Leine, wenn keine anderen Hunde in Sicht sind. Im Hundefahrradkorb fährt Shelley problemlos mit, und auch das Alleine bleiben funktioniert schon ganz gut. Wir suchen Menschen für Shelley, die bereit sind zusammen mit ihr und einem Hundepsychologen an ihren Ängsten zu arbeiten, und mit ihr versuchen ihre Vergangenheit zu vergessen und ihr eine neue schöne, liebevoll Zukunft zu schenken. Shelley ist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Sie besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro vermittelt werden. Wer möchte mit Shelley gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen, und ihr die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigen? Vielen Dank an Meike Mimi A.! Du hast Shelley einen Namen und somit eine Identität geschenkt!

About Shelley

What life with Shelley looks like

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

An 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.
