How do I contact the shelter about Afonya T?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Afonya T on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Afonya T if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. 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 Afonya T 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 Afonya T 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 Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Afonya T 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.

Afonya T

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Áfonya - a small dog mom with a huge heart ❤️ Áfonya was rescued along with her two puppies Ágota and Ábel from a large animal hoarding case. A total of 47 dogs had to be freed from the hands of a mentally ill woman who had taken in and bred more and more dogs over many years. Finally, Áfonya could leave this life behind and arrive safely. Áfonya is probably a pug mix. Externally she bears little resemblance to a pug, but her character couldn't be more typical. She loves people from the bottom of her heart and just wants to be close to them. As soon as an opportunity arises, she jumps straight onto someone's lap and enjoys every caress. Closeness, love and security are the most beautiful things for her. With her friendly, open and affectionate nature, Áfonya conquers every heart at lightning speed. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and greets everyone kindly. Despite her past, she has retained her loving nature and trusts people. With a shoulder height of 34 cm and a weight of 6.3 kg (as of July 03, 2026), Áfonya is an agreeable size and would be the perfect companion for people who want a cuddly and loyal female dog. After lovingly raising her puppies, it's time for Áfonya to start a new chapter. She deserves to be cared for herself and find a home where she never has to go without anything again. Áfonya is allowed to travel to Germany from July 25th. Now all she needs is a family that opens their heart to this wonderful little female dog and shows her that she's finally arrived. We would be happy to answer your questions.

About Afonya T

What life with Afonya T looks like

Afonya T is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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.
