Guidelines for rescue dog adoption

Overview

Guidance for adopting rescue dogs emphasizes both behavioral management and financial preparation.

To assist with the transition period, experts recommend the ‘3-3-3 rule’, which suggests allowing three days for decompression, three weeks to learn routines, and three months to build lasting trust. Owners are advised to prepare essential supplies and maintain familiar routines to reduce stress.

Regarding financial aspects, adopters may be required to pay a protection fee (Schutzgebühr) to animal shelters. In Munich, these fees are tiered by age, ranging from approximately 250 euros for older dogs to 450 euros for puppies. These fees are intended to cover shelter expenses and discourage impulsive adoptions.
