How do I contact the shelter about Alexia?

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

Can I adopt Alexia if I live in another country?

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

Alexia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 1 month

Description: Our animal welfare advocates report that near a guesthouse in the resort town of Borsec, a mother dog raised her litter in a tree hollow. When the puppies were about 5 to 6 weeks old and began to leave the nest, they were discovered by children who played with them, carried them around, and wanted to take them home. The guesthouse owner informed us about this, and we set out to find a safe shelter for the puppies. We managed to place all eight siblings—Alex, Aida, Akira, Adam, Aldo, Andy, Alexia, and Alma2—in the yard of a friend’s property. There, they were safe and well cared for. Unfortunately, attempts to catch the mother dog herself were unsuccessful; she was found shortly afterward hit by a car on the road. Alexia and her siblings have thrived under the care of their foster families. They each live in pairs in different households, together with other dogs and cats. All of them show friendly and open behavior toward fellow dogs and other animals. In their foster homes, they are treated with love and affection and have become very people-oriented as a result. Alexia and her siblings are rather calm by nature—they’re not the type of dogs who run wild or push themselves into the spotlight. Of course, they do play appropriately for their age, but they also know how to settle down and relax. Alexia particularly enjoys being close to people and receiving their affection. To continue developing positively, she needs a home soon where routines and rituals provide a structured environment in which she can unfold her full potential under guidance. The imprinting from her caring mother and the positive experiences she’s had with people create excellent conditions for Alexia to grow into a friendly, social, and cooperative companion for everyday life. She is still growing and is expected to reach a medium size of around 50 cm in height. We hope that Alexia will find people who meet her with patience and love and who take on the wonderful task of accompanying and guiding her on her further journey. Who will let her into their heart, give her security, and offer her a happy future? Please note: The feedback from animal shelters and foster homes reflects the current behavior of the animals described here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Gegenüber einer Pension im Ferienort Borsec zog eine Hundemutter in einer Baumhöhle ihren Wurf auf. Als die Welpen ca. 5 bis 6 Wochen alt waren und begannen, das Nest zu verlassen, wurden sie von Kindern entdeckt, die mit ihnen spielten, sie herumtrugen und mitnehmen wollten. Die Besitzerin der Pension informierte uns darüber, und wir suchten eine sichere Unterkunft für die Welpen. Es gelang uns, alle 8 Geschwister (Alex,Aida, Akira, Adam, Aldo, Andy, Alexia und Alma2) auf dem Gelände einer Freundin unterzubringen. Dort waren sie in Sicherheit und wurden umsorgt. Leider missglückten die Versuche, auch die Mutter der Welpen einzufangen. Sie wurde kurze Zeit später überfahren auf der Straße gefunden. Alexia und ihre Geschwister haben sich in der Obhut ihrer Pflegestellen gut entwickelt. Sie leben jeweils paarweise in unterschiedlichen Familien mit anderen Hunden und Katzen zusammen. Alle zeigen sich freundlich und offen im Umgang mit Artgenossen und anderen Tieren. In ihren Pflegestellen werden sie liebevoll behandelt und sind entsprechend menschenbezogen. Alexia und auch ihre Geschwister sind von ihrem Naturell eher ruhig und keine Hunde, die wild herumtoben oder sich in den Vordergrund drängen. Altersentsprechend spielen sie auch, kommen aber gut zur Ruhe. Alexia genießt die Nähe von Menschen und deren Streicheleinheiten. Damit sie sich weiter positiv entwickeln kann, braucht sie zeitnah ein Zuhause, in dem ihr mit Ritualen und Routinen ein Rahmen vorgegeben wird, in dem sie ihr Potenzial unter Anleitung entfalten kann. Die Prägung durch ihre fürsorgliche Mutter und die positiven Erfahrungen mit Menschen sind sehr gute Voraussetzungen, dass sich Alexia zu einem freundlichen, sozialen und kooperativen Alltagsbegleiter entwickeln kann. Sie befindet sich noch im Wachstum und wird schätzungsweise eine mittlere Größe um die 50 cm erreichen. Wir wünschen uns für Alexia, dass sie Menschen findet, die ihr mit Geduld und Liebe begegnen und die schöne Aufgabe übernehmen, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu begleiten und anzuleiten. Wer lässt sie in sein Herz, gibt ihr Sicherheit und eine glückliche Zukunft? Bitte beachten Sie: Die Rückmeldungen der Tierheime und Pflegestellen spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Alexia

What life with Alexia looks like

Alexia is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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.
