Tessa

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Die Mischlingshündin Tessa (ca. 10 kg) kam gemeinsam mit Sheila über einen unserer Mitgliedsvereine zu uns, nachdem ihre Vorbesitzer leider verstorben sind. Tessa zeigt sich bei uns als freundliche, aufgeschlossene und sehr menschenbezogene Hündin. Neuen Menschen begegnet sie zwar anfangs manchmal noch etwas vorsichtig, taut jedoch schnell auf und sucht gerne den Kontakt. Sie genießt die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen sehr und zeigt sich dabei ausgesprochen lieb und anhänglich. Der Tierheimalltag fällt Tessa aktuell nicht leicht. Die vielen Eindrücke und der ständige Trubel setzen ihr zu, sodass sie nur schwer zur Ruhe kommt. Umso mehr wünschen wir uns für sie ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen und entspannen darf. Aktuell lebt Tessa mit Sheila zusammen. Die beiden kennen sich bereits seit vielen Jahren, verstehen sich sehr gut und geben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Daher würden wir uns freuen, wenn Tessa und Sheila gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause ziehen dürften. Dies ist jedoch keine Voraussetzung für eine

About Tessa

What life with Tessa looks like

Tessa is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenhof für Mensch und Tier in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tessa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tessa?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sonnenhof für Mensch und Tier handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tessa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tessa if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sonnenhof für Mensch und Tier 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tessa 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 Tessa 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 Sonnenhof für Mensch und Tier early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tessa 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.
