How do I contact the shelter about Shiva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Neu-Amerika handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shiva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shiva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Neu-Amerika 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 Shiva 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 Shiva 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 Neu-Amerika early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shiva 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.

Shiva

Mixed Breed · Female

Gender: female born: 04/2024 Status: on trial rehomed Shiva came from Romania as a puppy into her current family. Due to changing living circumstances, the little female dog became increasingly stressed, and her people decided to surrender her because they could no longer be fair to her. Shiva is initially skeptical of strangers and usually needs some time to warm up. She is very clingy, friendly, and wants to please her trusted people. Generally, she is an insecure dog and now urgently needs people by her side who can take on the responsibility, give her security, and serve as a point of orientation. If left without guidance, she quickly becomes overwhelmed and reacts to everything that seems suspicious to her. Shiva is making great progress here. She is already leash-trained and grateful for the opportunity to give responsibility. Interacting with fellow animals also helps her and she is slowly losing her insecurity. The clever, little female dog learns quickly and enjoys working. It would be wonderful if she also received meaningful tasks in her new home to help her focus. Currently, she still likes to jump around and act like a puppy. Her people should be happy to continue working with a young dog. Shiva is familiar with living with children, but they should be a bit older and more calm, as too much action and excitement do not suit her well. Additionally, a compatible, agreeable, and sovereign only dog would be ideal. This animal is house-trained.

Geschlecht: weiblich geboren: 04/2024 Status: auf Probe vermittelt Shiva kam im Welpenalter aus Rumänien in ihre bisherige Familie. Aufgrund der sich ändernden Lebensumstände war die kleine Hündin zunehmend gestresst und ihre Menschen entschieden sich zur Abgabe, da man ihr nicht mehr gerecht werden konnte. Shiva ist fremden Menschen gegenüber zunächst skeptisch und braucht meist etwas Zeit, um aufzutauen. Ihren Bezugspersonen gegenüber zeigt sie sich enorm anhänglich, freundlich und möchte gefallen.Generell ist sie ein unsicherer Hund und braucht nun dringend Menschen an ihrer Seite, die ihr die Verantwortung abnehmen, ihr Sicherheit geben und an denen sie sich orientieren kann. Lässt man sie ohne Anleitung, ist sie schnell überfordert und verbellt alles, was ihr suspekt ist. Shiva macht hier große Fortschritte. Sie zeigt sich bereits leinenführig und ist dankbar, Verantwortung abgeben zu können. Auch der Kontakt zu Artgenossen tut ihr gut und sie verliert langsam ihre Unsicherheit. Die clevere, kleine Hündin lernt schnell und arbeitet gern mit. Schön wäre es, wenn sie auch im neuen Zuhause sinnvolle Aufgaben erhält, um ihre Konzentration zu fördern. Aktuell dreht sie noch gerne auf und springt dann wie ein Flummi. Ihre Menschen sollten also Freude haben, mit einem jungen Hund weiterhin zu arbeiten. Shiva kennt das Zusammenleben mit Kindern, allerdings sollten diese schon etwas älter und ruhiger sein, denn zuviel Action und Aufregung tut ihr nicht gut. Weiterhin könnte gern ein passender, verträglicher und souveräner Ersthund vorhanden sein. Shiva ist stubenrein und kann gut für eine angemessene Zeit allein bleiben

About Shiva

What life with Shiva looks like

Shiva is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Neu-Amerika in Annaberg-Buchholz.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
