How do I contact the shelter about Shiva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 — Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Tierschutzverein Europa 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.

Adopt Shiva

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

A sensitive female dog in search of security, Shiva and her sister Txula were taken in as puppies by a family together. They knew a home, life with children, and the everyday routine in a family. Unfortunately, the living conditions of their humans changed, and the two female dogs were eventually given to the animal shelter. For Shiva, this meant a significant setback. Coming from a familiar family life to an animal shelter suddenly unsettles her, understandably. Especially in new situations, she shows some insecurity and needs a moment to build trust. However, once Shiva realizes that people mean well with her, she shows her incredibly loving and clingy side. She seeks the proximity of her people, enjoys attention, and simply wants to belong. She is gentle, friendly, and very people-oriented. Shiva already knows a lot about the everyday life of a family dog. She knows walks on a leash, life in a house and an apartment, and car rides. Living with children is also familiar to her. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Eine sensible Hündin auf der Suche nach Sicherheit und Geborgenheit Shiva und ihre Schwester Txula wurden gemeinsam als Welpen von einer Familie aufgenommen. Sie kannten ein Zuhause, das Leben mit Kindern und den Alltag in einer Familie. Doch leider änderten sich die Lebensumstände ihrer Menschen und die beiden Hündinnen wurden schließlich im Tierheim abgegeben. Für Shiva bedeutete das einen großen Einschnitt. Vom gewohnten Familienleben plötzlich in ein Tierheim zu kommen, verunsichert sie verständlicherweise sehr. Besonders in neuen Situationen zeigt sie sich zunächst etwas unsicher und braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat Shiva jedoch einmal gemerkt, dass man es gut mit ihr meint, zeigt sie ihre unglaublich liebevolle und anhängliche Seite. Sie sucht die Nähe zu ihren Menschen, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und möchte einfach dazugehören. Dabei ist sie sanft, freundlich und sehr menschenbezogen. Shiva kennt bereits vieles aus dem Alltag eines Familienhundes. Sie kennt Spaziergänge mit Halsband und Leine, das Leben in einem Haus und in einer Wohnung sowie Autofahrten. Auch das Zusammenleben mit Kindern ist ihr vertraut.

About Shiva

What life with Shiva looks like

Shiva is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa 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.
