How do I contact the shelter about Sintra?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sintra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sintra if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Sintra 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 Sintra 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sintra 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.

Sintra

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Sintra was able to travel to her foster family in Germany in mid-November. At first, she seemed to be settling in well, but over time it became clear how overwhelmed she was by the new everyday life. Environmental stimuli, uncertainty, and inner stress increased, leading to a change in her behavior. From an initially open female dog, she became one that increasingly withdraws and reacts with being overwhelmed in some situations. Currently, Sintra is in professional training care, where she is carefully observed and given gentle support. A comprehensive health check is also currently a focus, as Sintra suffers from spondylosis in the spine, which causes her pain, even at a young age. She is being medically cared for and receives, above all, what she desperately needs now: rest, understanding, and time. Despite her current situation, her true nature occasionally shows through. Sintra is a friendly, people-oriented female dog who enjoys cuddles and seeks the proximity of humans. In quiet moments, her gentle character becomes visible, even though this is currently overshadowed by stress and uncertainty. For Sintra, we are searching for a very experienced foster home or a home that meets her with great patience and empathy and can read her body language. A quiet, low-stress environment is essential for her. Children should not live in the household, and ideally, she will be housed as a single dog. With other animals, she is compatible depending on their affinity. Due to her health condition, stairs should be avoided as much as possible, as well as frequent lifting. She enjoys quiet walks in a relaxed environment. Sintra originally came from Romania, where she was rescued from the street along with her sisters Amica and Stelna and her mother Bettina. She is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and has an EU pet passport. A meet-and-greet is possible upon arrangement. Sintra needs people who can see and understand what lies behind her behavior. People who can help her step by step to regain trust and security. We thank heartily the namesake Drea Ni., who gave Sintra her beautiful name and thus her own identity. As of: 20.04.

Sintra durfte bereits nach Deutschland reisen und bekam die Chance auf ein neues Leben. Doch manchmal braucht ein Hund einfach die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen, um wirklich ankommen zu können. Der neue Alltag mit all seinen Eindrücken und Veränderungen war für Sintra zunächst eine große Herausforderung. Die vielen Reize haben sie verunsichert, weshalb sie in erfahrene Hände wechseln durfte. Dort kommt sie inzwischen zur Ruhe und zeigt immer mehr, was für eine wunderbare Hündin in ihr steckt. Sintra ist eine freundliche und menschenbezogene Hündin, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr genießt. Streicheleinheiten, gemeinsame Zeit und ein vertrautes Umfeld bedeuten ihr viel. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich offen und liebenswert, auch mit älteren Kindern kommt sie gut zurecht. Besonders gerne genießt sie ruhige Spaziergänge und entspannte Momente mit ihren Bezugspersonen. Sintra braucht keine Menschen, die Mitleid mit ihr haben, sondern Menschen, die sie verstehen, ihr Sicherheit vermitteln und ihr mit liebevoller Konsequenz Orientierung geben. Für Sintra wünschen wir uns ein eher ruhiges Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Ein Umfeld ohne viel Trubel, mit klaren Strukturen und festen Abläufen, würde ihr helfen, sich dauerhaft sicher zu fühlen und weiter aufzublühen. Aufgrund ihrer körperlichen Voraussetzungen sollte ihr zukünftiges Zuhause möglichst wenige Treppen haben. Häufiges Hochheben sowie sehr wildes Spiel mit großen oder stürmischen Hunden sollten vermieden werden. Bei fremden Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie. Mit passenden Artgenossen kann Sintra durchaus gut zurechtkommen, benötigt aber nicht zwingend einen weiteren Hund an ihrer Seite. Sintra ist eine besondere Hündin, die einfach die richtigen Menschen braucht. Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, Vertrauen wachsen lassen und ihr zeigen, dass sie angekommen ist. Wer ihr diese Chance schenkt, gewinnt eine liebevolle und treue Begleiterin mit einem großen Herzen. Für Sintra suchen wir sowohl ein passendes Zuhause als auch eine erfahrene Pflegestelle, die ihr auf ihrem weiteren Weg Sicherheit und Stabilität schenken kann. Sintra ist kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Ihren EU-Heimtierausweis bringt sie selbstverständlich mit. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr kann sie in ihr neues Zuhause oder auf eine geeignete Pflegestelle ziehen. Sintra wartet nicht auf perfekte Menschen – sondern auf Menschen, die zu ihr passen. Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei die Namenspatin Drea Ni., die Sintra ihren schönen Namen und damit eine eigene Identität geschenkt hat.

About Sintra

What life with Sintra looks like

Sintra is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An young 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.
