Shirin

Maltese · Female · Adult · 4 years

freundlich zu Menschen und Hunden - kennt es, im Auto und dem ÖPNV mitzufahren - muss noch viel lernen Shirin ist eine kleine, weiße Malteser-Mischlingshündin. Sie ist aufgeweckt, freundlich und läuft bei uns Tag und Nacht in einer kleinen Gruppe von verschiedenen Hunden. Shirin freut sich über Besucher*innen und auch das Fahren in Bus und Bahn ist für die kleine Maus kein Problem. Das Alleinbleiben fällt Shirin derzeit noch schwer und auch ihr Grundgehorsam ist ausbaufähig, sodass sie in diesen Bereichen noch etwas Training und Geduld benötigt. Shirin leidet unter einer dauerhaften Futtermittelallergie sowie einer Pollen- und Milbenallergie. Sie benötigt Cortison und wird bei uns konsequent mit einem Spezialfutter ernährt. Andere Futtermittel können allergische Reaktionen bei Shirin auslösen, die sich unter anderem durch Entzündungen an den Ohren und Pfoten äußern. Daher sind das konsequente Einhalten der Fütterung, das Fortführen der tierärztlich begleiteten Behandlung sowie regelmäßige Kontrollen von Shirins Haut, Ohren und Pfoten unerlässlich. Shirins zukünftige Menschen sollten sich auf dauerhaft erhöhte Kosten aufgrund der tierärztlichen Behandlung einstellen. Aktuell geht Shirin zu zwei Tierpflegerinnen mit nach Hause, wo sie sich sehr verschmust mit Mensch und Katze zeigt.

About Shirin

What life with Shirin looks like

Shirin is a small adult maltese dog waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shirin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shirin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shirin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shirin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Shirin 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 Shirin 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 Tierheim Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shirin 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.
