Trapa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Trapa was seen about two months ago by an attentive man who notified us. At that time, the female dog with her puppies was in a tree hole, which she likely used to keep her puppies safe. The man had seen Trapa for a longer period near a warehouse on a farm. Food was left for her there, but she would not let anyone approach. Trapa had already had several litters, but the farm owner would kill the puppies each time. This time, however, he was in the hospital, so the puppies could survive. The man then tried to catch Trapa and her puppies, but it proved difficult. She came closer but always managed to avoid capture. With some patience, it was finally possible to catch Trapa and her puppies and bring them to a foster home at this breed. In the foster home, Trapa lives in a house with a garden, where she is gradually losing her reserve and can now be touched. Although Trapa is still a somewhat reserved female dog, she has shown in the foster home that she can open up to people and trust them after a relatively short time.

Trapa wurde vor etwa zwei Monaten von einem aufmerksamen Mann gesehen, der uns daraufhin benachrichtigte. Zu der Zeit hielt sich die Hündin mit ihren Welpen in einem Baumloch auf, in das sie ihre Welpen wohl in Sicherheit gebracht hatte. Der Mann hatte Trapa schon über eine längere Zeit, in der Nähe eines Lagerhauses, das sich auf einem Bauernhof befand, gesehen. Dort bekam sie Futter hingestellt, ließ sich aber nicht anfassen. Trapa hatte schon mehrmals Welpen bekommen, die der Besitzer des Bauernhofes aber jedes Mal tötete. Dieses Mal jedoch, hielt er sich im Krankenhaus auf, sodass die Welpen überleben konnten. Nun versuchte der Mann Trapa und ihre Welpen einzufangen, was sich jedoch als schwierig erwies. Sie kam zwar näher, aber entzog sich immer wieder dem Zugriff. Mit etwas Geduld gelang es schließlich doch noch Trapa und ihre Welpen einzufangen und in eine APAP Pflegestelle in Sicherheit zu bringen. In der Pflegestelle lebt Trapa in einem Haus mit Garten und hier legt sie Stück für Stück ihre Zurückhaltung ab und lässt sich mittlerweile auch anfassen. Trapa ist zwar nach wie vor eine etwas zurückhaltende Hündin, hat aber in der Pflegestelle gezeigt, dass sie sich nach einer relativ kurzen Zeit den Menschen gegenüber, öffnen und ihnen Vertrauen schenken kann.

About Trapa

What life with Trapa looks like

Trapa is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Trapa, answered.

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