Tea

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Description: Our animal welfare volunteers report that in a wooded area near the resort town of Borsec, a female dog was raising her puppies. Maria, our dedicated local animal welfare volunteer, and her sister have been providing food to the canine family and, when the puppies were about 8 weeks old, managed to catch and spay the mother dog. At that point, the puppies had already begun to venture away from their litter den, putting them at risk of being discovered by people who might either take them home to chain them up on their property as guard dogs or by dogcatchers who would transport them to a killing station for a fee. Approximately two weeks after their spaying, the mother dog no longer returned to her puppies. She likely fell victim to a wild animal attack.Maria and her sister took charge of the four remaining sisters, placing them in private foster care and giving them the names Tea, Tora, Trixie, and Tia. There, they were safe, had regular human contact, and received proper care. Tea and her sisters lived on a fenced property, playing together and basking lazily in the sunshine. They provided each other with emotional support and developed a strong bond with one another. What they lacked for their full development were environmental stimuli—neither did they experience life in a house or apartment nor life in a city. However, they also didn't have any negative experiences. Thus, they are like rough diamonds that still need to be carefully polished. Towards strangers, Tea and her sisters tend to be reserved or even suspicious. Yet, familiar caregivers are greeted joyfully, and they thoroughly enjoy petting and cuddling from those they trust.As Tea and her sisters turned six months old, the foster family's living situation changed, and they were temporarily placed in an animal hotel. Tia has already been successfully rehomed, and on July 25, Tea made it to a foster home in Bocholt. There, she initially approached her foster mom Simone cautiously, but soon became comfortable being touched and readily allowed herself to wear a collar and harness. She is curious and highly motivated by food. Above all, she loves water and would love to accompany her future family to the lake for swimming. For Tea to continue developing positively, she urgently needs a home where routines and rituals provide a structured environment in which she can unfold her potential under guidance. The imprinting from her caring mother and the positive experiences she’s had with humans create excellent conditions for Tea to grow into a friendly, social, and cooperative companion for everyday life. She is still growing and is expected to reach a medium size of around 55 cm. We hope that Tea will find people who meet her with patience and love and take on the wonderful task of accompanying and guiding her on her further journey. Who will let this Black Beauty into their heart, offering her security and a happy future? Please note: The feedback from animal shelters and foster homes reflects the current behavior of the animals described here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: In einem Waldstück in der Nähe des Ferienortes Borsec zog eine Hundemutter ihre Welpen auf. Maria, unsere liebe Tierschützerin vor Ort, und ihre Schwester haben die Hundefamilie mit Futter versorgt und die Mutterhündin einfangen und kastrieren lassen, als die Welpen etwa 8 Wochen alt waren. Sie begannen bereits, sich von ihrem Wurflager zu entfernen, und gerieten so in Gefahr, von Menschen entdeckt zu werden, die sie entweder mitnahmen, um sie dann auf ihrem Hof anzuketten und als Wachhund zu halten oder von Hundefängern, die sie in eine Tötungsstation brachten, um dafür Geld zu kassieren. Ungefähr 2 Wochen nach ihrer Kastration ist die Mutterhündin nicht mehr zu ihren Welpen zurückgekehrt. Sie ist vermutlich einem Wildangriff zum Opfer gefallen.Maria und ihre Schwester nahmen sich der 4 verbliebenen Schwestern an, brachten sie auf einer privaten Pflegestelle unter und gaben ihnen die Namen Tea, Tora, Trixie und Tia. Dort waren sie in Sicherheit, hatten Kontakt zu Menschen und wurden versorgt. Tea und ihre Schwestern lebten dort in einem eingezäunten Grundstück, spielten miteinander und dösten in den Tag hinein. Sie gaben einander Halt und entwickelten eine starke Bindung zueinander. Was ihnen für ihre Entwicklung fehlte, waren jegliche Umweltreize. Sie lernten weder das Leben in einem Haus oder einer Wohnung kennen, noch das Leben in einer Stadt. Sie haben aber auch keine schlechten Erfahrungen gemacht. Sie sind also Rohdiamanten, die erst noch behutsam geschliffen werden müssen. Gegenüber fremden Personen verhalten sich Tea und ihre Schwestern zurückhaltend bis misstrauisch. Vertraute Bezugspersonen werden jedoch freudig begrüßt und Streicheleinheiten von ihnen genossen.Als Tea und ihre Schwestern gerade 6 Monate alt wurden, änderte sich die Lebenssituation der Pflegefamilie, und sie wurden vorübergehend in einem Tierhotel untergebracht. Tia ist erfolgreich vermittelt worden, und Tea hat es am 25. Juli auf eine Pflegestelle nach Bocholt geschafft. Dort begegnet Tea ihrer Pflegemama Simone zunächst vorsichtig, lässt sich aber problemlos anfassen und auch ein Halsband und Geschirr anlegen. Sie ist neugierig und sehr gut über Futter zu motivieren. Vor allem aber liebt sie Wasser und würde ihre zukünftige Familie gerne an den See zum Schwimmen begleiten. Damit sich Tea weiter positiv entwickeln kann, braucht sie zeitnah ein Zuhause, in dem ihr mit Ritualen und Routinen ein Rahmen vorgegeben wird, in dem sie ihr Potenzial unter Anleitung entfalten kann. Die Prägung durch ihre fürsorgliche Mutter und die positiven Erfahrungen mit Menschen sind sehr gute Voraussetzungen, dass sich Tea zu einer freundlichen, sozialen und kooperativen Alltagsbegleiterin entwickeln kann. Sie befindet sich noch im Wachstum und wird schätzungsweise eine mittlere Größe um die 55 cm erreichen. Wir wünschen uns für Tea, dass sie Menschen findet, die ihr mit Geduld und Liebe begegnen und die schöne Aufgabe übernehmen, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu begleiten und anzuleiten. Wer lässt die Black Beauty in sein Herz, gibt ihr Sicherheit und eine glückliche Zukunft?

About Tea

What life with Tea looks like

Tea is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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 Tea, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tea?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tea if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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 Tea 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 Tea 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tea 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.
