How do I contact the shelter about Afra?

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

Can I adopt Afra if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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 Afra 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 Afra 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Afra and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Afra

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Afra, born approximately 2023, spayed, approximately 55 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 2023 Afra came to the shelter as a puppy and has unfortunately been there for several years without ever receiving an inquiry. The beautiful female dog is curious and interested in humans, but currently unapproachable. For a while, Afra joined her brothers Max and Moritz and sought protection from them, but the two are now spending more time in another part of the enclosure. We wish her a home with empathetic and experienced people who can show her what a good dog life is like in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay if she never wants to go for a walk or cuddle like a normal dog. Maybe she will be good for one or more positive surprises. At least a confident first dog, as well as a securely fenced garden with direct access to the house are basic requirements. Since Afra has only poor placement chances, we would be very happy if someone takes a sponsorship for her. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel out if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

05/2025 Futterpatenschaft: - Tierarztpatenschaft: - Afra, geboren ca. 2023, kastriert, ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2023 Afra kam als Welpe ins Shelter und ist nun leider schon mehrere Jahre da, ohne je eine Anfrage bekommen zu haben. Die hübsche Hündin ist zwar neugierig und durchaus am Menschen interessiert, aber derzeit nicht anfassbar. Eine Weile lang hatte Afra sich den Brüdern Max und Moritz angeschlossen und bei ihnen Schutz gesucht, doch die beiden halten sich mittlerweile vermehrt in einem anderen Teil des Auslaufs auf. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihr in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn sie nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist sie dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Mindestens ein souveräner Ersthund, sowie ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus sind Grundvoraussetzungen. Da Afra nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen hat, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für sie übernimmt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Afra

What life with Afra looks like

Afra is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

An young 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.
