How do I contact the shelter about Sophia?

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 Sophia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sophia 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 Sophia 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 Sophia 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 Sophia 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.

Adoption requirements Adoption process Request this animal now! Adoption requirements Adoption process Request this dog now! Sophia is a wonderful young female dog full of joy, curiosity and openness. With her beautiful wavy coat, warm eyes and cute floppy ears, she quickly attracts everyone's attention. Above all, she impresses with her friendly and people-oriented nature. She now really enjoys petting, seeks the company of people and has made great progress in recent months. The approximately 1-year-old Sophia has a pleasant medium size with a withers height of about 49 cm and around 17 kg. She is active, attentive and wants to explore the world. Walks, shared adventures and new experiences would bring her great joy. Therefore, we are looking for active people who would like to lovingly accompany a young dog through life and grow together with her. Sophia already handles a leash and harness well and shows curiosity and willingness to learn outside. Like any young puppy, she still has a lot to learn - from basic training to daily routines. With patience, clear structures and loving consistency, she will surely develop wonderfully. A visit to a positive working dog school would also be a nice opportunity for her to continue learning and strengthen her bond with her humans. Sophia gets along well with other dogs and is social. An experienced first dog could give her additional orientation. Also, a foster home would be an important stepping stone for her. It is not a given that Sophia has the chance for a home today: she comes from the public shelter in Zalau - a place where unfortunately still animals are euthanized. Fortunately, she was able to leave this place and come to safety. Now she only needs one thing: people who show her how beautiful a protected dog life can be. Sophia is ready for her new life. She travels spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and treated for fleas to her new home. She has already packed her EU pet passport. After a positive pre-check and a protection fee, Sophia can start her journey. Thank you, dear Chris W.! Thanks to you, Sophia has an identity and thus the chance for a happy dog life.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Sophia ist eine wundervolle junge Hündin voller Lebensfreude, Neugier und Offenheit. Mit ihrem hübschen gestromten Fell, den warmen Augen und den niedlichen Schlappohren zieht sie schnell alle Blicke auf sich. Vor allem aber begeistert sie mit ihrem freundlichen und menschenbezogenen Wesen. Sie genießt Streicheleinheiten mittlerweile sehr, sucht die Nähe zu Menschen und hat in den vergangenen Monaten tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Die etwa 1 Jahr alte Sophia hat mit ihren ca. 49 cm Schulterhöhe und rund 17 kg eine angenehme, mittlere Größe. Sie ist bewegungsfreudig, aufmerksam und möchte die Welt entdecken. Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Abenteuer und neue Eindrücke würden ihr großen Spaß machen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns aktive Menschen, die Lust haben, einen jungen Hund liebevoll durchs Leben zu begleiten und gemeinsam mit ihr zu wachsen. Mit Leine und Geschirr kommt Sophia bereits gut zurecht und zeigt sich draußen neugierig und lernfreudig. Wie jeder junge Hund muss sie natürlich noch einiges lernen – vom Hunde-ABC bis zu den Abläufen im Alltag. Mit Geduld, klaren Strukturen und liebevoller Konsequenz wird sie sich sicher toll entwickeln. Auch der Besuch einer positiv arbeitenden Hundeschule wäre für sie eine schöne Möglichkeit, weiter dazuzulernen und die Bindung zu ihren Menschen zu stärken. Mit anderen Hunden ist Sophia gut verträglich und sozial. Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihr zusätzlich Orientierung geben. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre ein wichtiges Sprungbrett für sie. Es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, dass Sophia heute überhaupt die Chance auf ein Zuhause hat: Sie stammt aus dem öffentlichen Shelter in Zalau – einem Ort, an dem leider noch getötet wird. Zum Glück durfte sie diesen Ort verlassen und in Sicherheit kommen. Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch eines: Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein behütetes Hundeleben sein kann. Sophia ist bereit für ihr neues Leben. Sie reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in ihr neues Zuhause. Ihren EU-Heimtierausweis hat sie bereits gepackt. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und einer Schutzgebühr kann sich Sophia auf den Weg machen. Danke liebe Chris W.! Dank dir hat Sophia eine Identität und damit die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben erhalten. Stand: 16.05.2026

About Sophia

What life with Sophia looks like

Sophia 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.
