Shirley

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Happy Labrador-like girl, 4 months, 40 cm, sociable in every way Shirley was born in May 2026 and is now about four months old. She was found abandoned in Slovakia and is now waiting for the right people to find her. From October, this young female dog will be ready to move into her new home. At about 40 cm for now, with her beige-golden coat, Shirley is a real eye-catcher. As an adult she is expected to be medium-sized, settling at around 50 cm. In appearance she resembles a Labrador mix. Labradors are considered friendly, outgoing and eager-to-learn dogs who love spending time with their people and are up for joint activities. Shirley is a cheerful and playful young dog and gets along very well with other dogs. At her age there is still plenty to discover and learn: from the first basic commands to leash walking, and all the little things that belong to everyday life as a family dog. She is already used to a leash and harness. Her future people should enjoy showing their young dog the world and accompanying her step by step as she becomes a loyal companion for many years. For Shirley we are looking for a loving home where she can not only experience a lot but also grow up in peace. People who enjoy working with a young dog, going on walks together and looking forward to small adventures would be just right for her. We can also imagine Shirley with committed first-time dog owners, and families with children are welcome too; we do expect the willingness to patiently help a young rescue dog settle in and to attend dog training classes. Shirley is vaccinated, microchipped, has had a veterinary examination, has been dewormed and has an EU pet passport. If you would like to give Shirley a loving home, feel free to contact us via WhatsApp: or send us your inquiry via Please send us a meaningful inquiry and tell us a bit about yourself/yourselves, your living situation, and how Shirley would live with you. This allows us to process your inquiry better and faster. Origin: Slovakia.

Fröhliches Labrador ähnl. Hundemädchen, 4Mon., 40cm, rundum sozial Shirley wurde im Mai 2026 geboren und ist mittlerweile etwa vier Monate alt. Sie wurde verlassen in der Slowakei aufgefunden und wartet nun darauf, dass sich für sie die richtigen Menschen finden. Ab Oktober ist die junge Hündin bereit, in ihr neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Mit ihren aktuell etwa 40 cm und ihrem beige goldenen Fell ist Shirley ein richtig hübscher Hingucker. Ausgewachsen wird sie voraussichtlich mittelgroß werden, und dürfte sich vielleicht bei ~50 cm einpendeln. Optisch erinnert sie an einen Labrador Mix. Labradore gelten als freundliche, aufgeschlossene und lernfreudige Hunde, die gerne Zeit mit ihren Menschen verbringen und für gemeinsame Aktivitäten zu haben sind. Shirley ist ein fröhliches und verspieltes Hundemädchen und versteht sich auch mit anderen Hunden bestens. In ihrem Alter gibt es natürlich noch jede Menge zu entdecken und zu lernen: von den ersten Grundkommandos über Leinenführigkeit bis hin zu all den kleinen Dingen, die zum Alltag als Familienhund gehören. An Leine und Geschirr ist sie bereits gewöhnt. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, ihrem Hundekind die Welt zu zeigen und sie Schritt für Schritt dabei zu begleiten, eine treue Begleiterin für viele Jahre zu werden. Für Shirley suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie nicht nur viel erleben, sondern auch ganz in Ruhe erwachsen werden darf. Menschen, die gerne mit einem jungen Hund arbeiten, gemeinsame Spaziergänge unternehmen und Lust auf kleine Abenteuer haben, wären für sie genau das Richtige. Wir können uns Shirley auch für engagierte Anfänger vorstellen, und auch Familien mit Kindern sind willkommen; die Bereitschaft, einen jungen Hund aus dem Tierschutz mit Geduld einzugewöhnen und eine Hundeschule zu besuchen, setzen wir dabei voraus. Shirley ist geimpft, gechipt, tierärztlich untersucht, entwurmt und hat einen EU Tierpass. Wenn du Shirley ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne per WhatsApp: oder schick uns deine Anfrage via Schick uns bitte eine aussagekräftige Anfrage und erzähl uns ein bisschen über dich/euch, deine/eure Lebenssituation und wie Shirley bei dir/euch leben würde. So können wir deine Anfrage besser und schneller bearbeiten. Herkunft: Slowakei.

About Shirley

What life with Shirley looks like

Shirley is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shirley, answered.

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