How do I contact the shelter about Shiva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nordic Strays e.V. 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 — Nordic Strays 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 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 Nordic Strays e.V. 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 – besondere Augen, ruhige Stärke und ganz viel Charakter. .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-90 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container .fusion-imageframe.imageframe-11 img{aspect-ratio:1 / 1;object-position:22% 44%;} .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-91 > Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim in Osijek, Kroatien Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: 10.09.2018 Schulterhöhe: 55 cm, 24,6 kg Keine Verträglichkeit mit Katzen ideale Umgebung: Stadtrand, ländlich geeignet für: erfahrene Menschen .fusion-body .fusion-button Direkt zur Selbstauskunft .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-92 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container .fusion-gallery-11 .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-93 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container Shiva ist etwa 8 Jahre alt und eine echte Erscheinung. Schon ihr Name passt wunderbar zu ihr: Shiva stammt aus dem Sanskrit und steht für Kraft, Wandlung und innere Ruhe. Und genau diese Mischung bringt sie mit – eine Hündin mit Präsenz, Lebenserfahrung und einer angenehmen Gelassenheit. Ihr wohl auffälligstes Merkmal sind ihre zwei verschiedenfarbigen Augen, die ihr einen ganz besonderen Ausdruck verleihen. Ein Blick genügt, und man spürt: Shiva hat Charakter. Sie beobachtet aufmerksam, wirkt ruhig und souverän und strahlt dabei eine natürliche Stärke aus, ohne laut oder aufdringlich zu sein. Als Husky-Mischling bringt sie typische Eigenschaften mit, aber in der entspannten Senior-Version. Shiva genießt Spaziergänge, frische Luft und Bewegung, braucht aber kein Dauerprogramm mehr. Sie weiß Pausen zu schätzen, geht gelassen durchs Leben und ist eine angenehme Begleiterin für Menschen, die es genauso mögen. Für Shiva wünschen wir uns ein ebenerdiges Zuhause, idealerweise am Stadtrand oder ländlich, mit ruhiger Umgebung und klaren Strukturen. Trubel und Hektik sind nichts für sie – dafür umso mehr feste Abläufe, entspannte Spazierwege und Menschen, die ihre besondere Art zu schätzen wissen. Shiva sucht kein neues Kapitel voller Action, sondern eines voller Ruhe, Vertrauen und gemeinsamer Zeit. Wer ihr ein Zuhause schenkt, bekommt eine beeindruckende Hündin mit Tiefe, Würde und einem Blick, der lange im Herzen bleibt. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Shiva

What life with Shiva looks like

Shiva is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

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.
