Stray Canines and Felines Housed in Munich Shelter Seek New Families
Title: Find a Forever Home for German Shepherd Finja and Feline Bouboude: Munich Animal Shelter's Adoptable Pets
Meet Finja and Bouboude, two amazing creatures longing for their forever homes at the Munich Animal Shelter.
Finja: Strong, Loving, and Ready for a Quiet Home
Finja, a robust 6-year-old German Shepherd, has been residing at the shelter for four long years. Weighing 50 kg with a shoulder height of 59 cm, this lovely lady has learned object indication as an activity and can perform basic commands. She walks well on a loose leash and orients well to her handler.
With a friendly and open demeanor towards her handler, Finja is highly motivated and cooperative in training sessions. New situations may cause uncertainty or skepticism, but with trust, she can be guided smoothly. Finja exhibits typical breed territorial behavior, being very watchful but still controllable with solid foundations and consistent handling – just remember that constant vigilance is key.
Finja greets strangers attentively and friendly but always orients towards her trusted handler. It's crucial that Finja is never left alone, as the human must guide and de-escalate any potential conflict situations in the early stages of her new life with her forever family.
Experienced and consistent people who can offer stability, security, and a loving home are ideal for Finja. They should be familiar with her unique personality traits and breed characteristics, providing her with the loving consistency she yearns for, without harshness that may jeopardize the trust she's gained towards humans. Due to her weight and strength, her adopters should be physically healthy and fit to keep up with Finja.
Bouboude: A Friendly, Affectionate, and Playful Short-Haired Cat
Left behind by her owners during a move, Bouboude is a 5-year-old neutered short-haired cat seeking a loving home without other cats or children. She's friendly, people-oriented, very affectionate, and playful. However, she doesn't get along well with other cats and requires a quiet environment as a single cat. Indoor living would suit Bouboude, but a connected balcony for her to observe and rest would be a welcome bonus.
Bouboude needs some care as she has allergy issues and needs to inhale frequently. If you're interested in adopting this beautiful cat, the caretakers in the upstairs small animal house can be reached at 089 921 000 - 52.

Lea: A Lovable, Affectionate Mixed-Breed Dog
Lea, a friendly, people-oriented, and affectionate mixed-breed dog born on 1st June 2018, is another adorable creature looking for her forever home. At approximately 13 kg and with a shoulder height of about 48 cm, Lea is a sporty and energetic dog. Lea was surrendered by her previous owners due to lack of time. Lea adores playing and is generally friendly and open towards familiar people. She is conditionally tolerant of other dogs – reacting uncertainly in dog encounters and showing leash aggression if not well-led. Lea needs experienced and confident people who can provide her with security and help her react appropriately in such situations.
To inquire about adopting Lea, contact the Dog House 2 at 089 921 000 - 20.
Franzi: A Shy but Affectionate Cat
Franzi, a 5-year-old cat, was surrendered by her overwhelmed owners. While initially shy and timid, Franzi is an affectionate creature who needs a quiet home without children. She needs an indoor home with a connected balcony for enough space to relax and observe. Franzi requires patient people who give her time and space to settle in and build trust, as well as a confident partner with whom she could be comfortable.
