Adoption Requirements Adoption Process Request this Animal Now! Adoption Requirements Adoption Process Request this Dog Now! Who could resist those huge erect ears and the charming gaze? Struwel is a five-month-old, absolutely adorable little dog who is currently staying in foster care with our animal protector Ana. It’s hard to believe that this cheerful, friendly, and affectionate fellow was recently wandering alone on the streets, completely lost, disoriented, and frightened. Struwel has left those dark days completely behind him; in his daily life in foster care, he proves to be wonderfully trusting and openly approaches his surroundings. With his deep-black coat and beautiful white accents, he’s not only visually stunning but also a real character winner. Struwel gets along splendidly with other dogs, has no issues around cats, and would make a wonderful companion for a family with children too. He’ll likely grow to a comfortable medium size—perfect for all kinds of living situations. Both visually and in terms of character, it seems that Terrier and/or Schnauzer blood runs strongly in Struwel’s lineage. This means his future humans can look forward to a smart, clever, and courageous companion. Both Terriers and Schnauzers are known as highly intelligent, loyal, and vigilant dogs with a healthy dose of self-confidence. They’re incredibly eager to learn and up for any kind of fun—but sometimes they also like to have their own way. That means for the new home: boredom will definitely not be an issue with Struwel! Of course, to help this charming puppy become a confident everyday companion, there’s still plenty more to learn about dog basics. Potty training, learning to stay alone, riding in the car, and leash manners all need patient practice. Struwel brings the best foundation already, as he genuinely wants to please people—but he needs clear, loving guidance. However, don’t forget that at five months old, Struwel is right on the threshold of puberty. During this phase, young dogs’ brains essentially “shut down” temporarily for a complete overhaul. Commands that were previously learned suddenly seem to vanish, the ears briefly serve only as decoration, and boundaries are often tested. Here, nerves of steel, lots of humor, and consistent yet gentle training are essential. Anyone who patiently guides Struwel through this exciting teenage phase and channels his potential Schnauzer/Terrier energy into positive outlets—whether through nose work, trick training, or lovely hikes—will be rewarded with an incomparably loyal, heartfelt, and unwavering friend for life. Struwel is ready to pack his bags and journey through thick and thin together with his beloved humans. Struwel travels chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated, accompanied by his EU pet passport. After a positive pre-screening, he can be adopted for a protection fee. But he’d also be delighted to find a foster home. Many thanks to Sunny W. for taking on the sponsorship of his name—thanks to you, little Struwel starts his new life with a beautiful name! As of June 19, 2026

Wer kann diesen riesigen Stehohren und dem charmanten Blick widerstehen? Struwel ist ein fünf Monate alter, absolut liebenswerter Hundebub, der aktuell das Pflegekörbchen bei unserer Tierschützerin Ana hütet. Kaum zu glauben, dass dieser fröhliche, freundliche und anhängliche Kerl vor Kurzem noch völlig verloren, orientierungslos und verängstigt ganz alleine auf der Straße umherirrte. Diese dunklen Tage hat Struwel komplett hinter sich gelassen; er zeigt sich im Pflegealltag als wunderbar zutraulich und geht offen auf seine Umwelt zu. Mit seinem tiefschwarzen Fell und den wunderschönen weißen Farbakzenten ist er nicht nur optisch ein absoluter Hingucker, sondern auch charakterlich ein echter Hauptgewinn. Struwel versteht sich prima mit anderen Hunden, hat kein Problem mit Katzen und ist auch für eine Familie mit Kindern ein toller Gefährte. Voraussichtlich wird er einmal eine angenehme mittlere Größe erreichen, perfekt für alle Lebenslagen. Optisch und charakterlich lässt sich vermuten, dass in Struwels Ahnenreihe ein Terrier und/oder ein Schnauzer kräftig mitgemischt haben. Das bedeutet, dass sich seine zukünftigen Menschen auf einen klugen, pfiffigen und mutigen Begleiter freuen dürfen. Sowohl Terrier als auch Schnauzer gelten als hochentwickelte, loyale und wachsame Hunde mit einer gesunden Portion Selbstbewusstsein. Sie sind unglaublich lernwillig und für jeden Spaß zu haben, bringen manchmal aber auch ihren eigenen Kopf mit. Das bedeutet für das neue Zuhause: Langweilig wird es mit Struwel garantiert nicht! Damit aus dem charmanten Welpen ein souveräner Alltagsbegleiter wird, steht natürlich noch das gesamte Hunde-Einmaleins auf dem Lehrplan. Die Stubenreinheit, das Alleinebleiben, das Mitfahren im Auto und die Leinenführigkeit müssen geduldig geübt werden. Struwel bringt die beste Basis mit, denn er will den Menschen gefallen, braucht aber eine klare und liebevolle Führung. Man sollte jedoch nicht vergessen, dass Struwel mit seinen fünf Monaten direkt an der Schwelle zur Pubertät steht. In dieser Phase wird das Gehirn von Junghunden quasi einmal völlig „wegen Umbau geschlossen“. Bereits gelernte Kommandos scheinen plötzlich wie weggewischt, die Ohren dienen kurzzeitig nur noch der Dekoration und die Grenzen werden gerne mal ausgetestet. Hier sind Nerven aus Drahtseil, ganz viel Humor und eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Erziehung gefragt. Wer Struwel mit Geduld durch diese spannende Teenager-Zeit begleitet und seine möglichen Schnauzer-/Terrier-Energie in die richtigen Bahnen lenkt, sei es durch Nasenarbeit, Tricktraining oder schöne Wanderungen, wird mit einem unvergleichlich treuen, treuherzigen und unerschütterlichen Freund fürs Leben belohnt. Struwel ist bereit, sein Köfferchen zu packen und gemeinsam mit seinen Herzensmenschen durch dick und dünn zu gehen. Struwel reist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit seinem EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt werden. Aber auch über eine Pflegestelle würde er sich sicher freuen. Vielen Dank an Sunny W. für die Übernahme der Namenspatenschaft, dank dir startet der kleine Struwel mit einem wunderschönen Namen in sein neues Leben! Stand: 19.06.2026

About Struwel

What life with Struwel looks like

Struwel is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Struwel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Struwel?
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 Struwel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Struwel 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 Struwel 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 Struwel 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 Struwel 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.
