Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄

Mixed Breed Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 4 years

Alexia is a 4-year-old female dog, approximately 50 cm tall, who is full of life despite her disability. She seems hardly bothered by having one less leg - she moves happily and carefree, enjoying every moment. Unfortunately, we don't know the cause of her missing left hind leg. It's likely an accident, as is the case with many street dogs in Romania. But Alexia hasn't let that get her down. She looks forward and eagerly waits for people who will give her a second chance. With her friendly nature and positive aura, she quickly enchants everyone who meets her. She shows that a disability doesn't have to be a barrier to a happy dog life. Dogs on three legs usually do great in a familiar environment. After a short adjustment period, they often master their daily routine just as naturally as other dogs. Much more important to Alexia than four healthy legs are people who love her and give her a safe home. Unfortunately, dogs with disabilities are often overlooked when it comes to adoption.

Alexia ist eine etwa 4 Jahre alte, rund 50 cm große HΓΌndin, die trotz ihres Handicaps voller Lebensfreude steckt. Ein Bein weniger scheint sie kaum zu stΓΆren – sie bewegt sich frΓΆhlich und unbeschwert und genießt jeden Moment. Die Ursache fΓΌr ihr fehlendes linkes Hinterbein kennen wir leider nicht. Vermutlich war ein Unfall der AuslΓΆser, wie es bei vielen Straßenhunden in RumΓ€nien leider der Fall ist. Doch Alexia hat sich davon nicht unterkriegen lassen. Sie blickt nach vorne und wartet sehnsΓΌchtig auf Menschen, die ihr eine zweite Chance schenken. Mit ihrer freundlichen Art und ihrer positiven Ausstrahlung verzaubert sie schnell jeden, der sie kennenlernt. Sie zeigt, dass ein Handicap kein Hindernis fΓΌr ein glΓΌckliches Hundeleben sein muss. Hunde auf drei Beinen kommen in einer vertrauten Umgebung meist hervorragend zurecht. Nach einer kurzen EingewΓΆhnungszeit meistern sie ihren Alltag oft genauso selbstverstΓ€ndlich wie andere Hunde. Viel wichtiger als vier gesunde Beine sind fΓΌr Alexia Menschen, die sie lieben und ihr ein sicheres Zuhause schenken. Leider werden Hunde mit Handicap bei der

About Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄

What life with Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ looks like

Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. in Biedenkopf.

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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland 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 Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alexia ♀ πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ 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 β€” 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.
