Can I adopt Winky if I live in another country?

What happens if Winky 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 Winky and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Winky found its own home quickly! His story: Winky sought a saving anchor after several misfortunes. The little delicate Winky had a home with animal-friendly people who rescued him from the street and took good care of him. But fate was not kind to him, his fellow rescued fur friends, and the people, and he lost everything again. This is particularly tragic when one considers how rare it is to meet people in Romania who take in stray dogs and care for them affectionately. The Animal Police asked our Romanian helpers for help, and Winky was among the rescued fur babies who were secured. Now he lives in one of the enclosures in Paul’s Shelter, where he is lovingly cared for despite the limited time. Even though Winky had some good fortune in misfortune, such a change always means a huge loss of control. Familiar daily routines and familiar things in his surroundings could have given him security and helped him find his place in life. Now, everything has changed abruptly, and it unsettles the delicate dog soul. That's why we aim to find sensitive people for the golden Winky who will stay by his side, give him security, and care for him affectionately. Winky is a charming approximately 5-year-old puppy and has thus already passed puberty. With his white fur, a white and a black ear, a black "upper lip whisker," and a black-rimmed eye, Winky looks simply incredibly cute. With his approximately 30 cm shoulder height and a body weight of around 7 kg, he belongs to the smaller representatives of his fellow animals. When he looks at us with his black button eyes a bit shyly, we can already see that he likes people. He is also compatible with his fellow animals. Fates are connected. We are looking for a quiet and empathetic home for Winky, where he has enough retreat possibilities to settle in at his own pace. Winky has already learned life in a house, but we don't know if he knows the ABCs of being a fur baby and if everything will work out right away. Leash walking, house training, basic commands, and car rides are all things that probably got left behind. Therefore, it is important to consistently and lovingly convey family rules and to forgive the occasional mishap. To strengthen the bond with his new people, a visit to a positively working dog training class after the settling period will contribute to giving him the necessary security and strengthening his self-confidence. A foster home as a stepping stone into his new life is of course also warmly invited to contact us. Winky travels neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for fleas. He will be available after a positive adoption. We thank Pavel B.! You have given Winky an identity and the chance to find a new family. Thank you, Monika K.! You support Winky with a monthly sponsorship! As of: 14.02.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Winky ist etwa 6 Jahre alt und hat in seinem Leben bereits einige Schicksalsschläge erlebt. Einst hatte der kleine Rüde in Rumänien ein Zuhause bei tierlieben Menschen, die ihn von der Straße gerettet hatten. Doch dieses Glück war nicht von Dauer und Winky verlor erneut alles, was ihm Sicherheit gegeben hatte. Mittlerweile durfte Winky nach Deutschland reisen. Doch der große Schritt in ein neues Leben fällt ihm noch sehr schwer. Aktuell zeigt er sich als sehr ängstlicher und unsicherer Hund, der mit vielen Situationen des Alltags noch überfordert ist. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn in erster Linie eine erfahrene Pflegestelle, die ihm die Zeit gibt, die er braucht, um Vertrauen aufzubauen und anzukommen. Winky ist ein kleiner Rüde mit etwa 30 cm Schulterhöhe und rund 7 kg Gewicht. Mit seinem weißen Fell, dem schwarzen Ohr, dem hellen Ohr und der markanten Zeichnung um sein Auge ist er ein echter kleiner Charakterkopf. Hinter seinen vorsichtigen Blicken steckt ein Hund, der sich nach Sicherheit sehnt, diese aber im Moment noch nicht zulassen kann. Winky braucht Menschen, die keine schnellen Fortschritte erwarten, sondern bereit sind, ihn in seinem Tempo zu begleiten. Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis sind für ihn wichtiger als jedes Training. Für Winky wünschen wir uns hundeerfahrene Menschen, die sich mit ängstlichen Hunden auskennen und Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm kleine Schritte zu gehen. Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihm dabei helfen, sich an seiner neuen Umgebung zu orientieren und Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause, idealerweise mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten, würde ihm den Start zusätzlich erleichtern. Natürlich hoffen wir, dass Winky irgendwann seine Für-immer-Familie findet. Im Moment wünschen wir uns jedoch vor allem eine Pflegestelle, die bereit ist, gemeinsam mit uns an seiner Entwicklung zu arbeiten und ihm zu zeigen, dass Menschen auch Verlässlichkeit, Geborgenheit und Liebe bedeuten können. Winky zieht kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht um. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr und mit gültigem EU-Heimtierausweis vermittelt. Wer schenkt Winky die Chance, endlich in Ruhe anzukommen und den ersten Schritt in ein neues Leben zu machen? Wir danken Pavel B.! Du hast Winky eine eigene Identität und die Chance geschenkt eine neue Familie zu finden. Vielen Dank Monika K.! Du unterstützt Winky mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft!

About Winky

What life with Winky looks like

Winky is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An 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.
