Alice

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I am Alice. I am a young adult female dog - and yes, I have only three legs. But that doesn't tell the whole story. When I was found in Romania, my front paw was so deformed that it had to be surgically removed. Even before that, I couldn't properly bear weight on it, so I've been surprisingly well-adjusted to life as a three-legged dog. It's normal for me. I'm a friendly, sweet soul and currently live in a small pack. That works wonderfully, I get along well with other dogs. I'm even somewhat submissive around unfamiliar dogs. I also don't mind cats and can live with them. I also enjoy exercise. I'm not a top athlete, but I can handle small walks with pleasure. Currently, I have a few extra pounds - not because I'm lazy, but because I lacked regular exercise in the Romanian shelter. But now I'm in Germany on my foster home - with walks, good food, and occasional play sessions with my dog buddies, I'll lose the winter fat quickly. I'm probably a HSH mix and have a slight skepticism towards strangers at first. I won't be mean... please don't misunderstand, but I'll take my time to get to know someone. If I can get to know you in peace, the ice will be broken quickly. Otherwise, I don't show typical herding dog traits - except maybe a stubborn streak from time to time 😉 For my dream home, I have a few quiet dreams: A quiet, ground-level home with a garden would be perfect for me. So I could move freely, sniff around, and make my own way - in addition to leisurely walks. Above all, I wish for people with understanding, patience, and an open heart, who will give me a real chance despite my missing paw. I'm not "broken". I'm just Alice!!! And maybe the very dog that will enrich your life. Your Alice 🐾💕 Microchip, vaccinated, dewormed, spayed

Hallo, ich bin Alice. Ich bin eine junge, erwachsene Hündin – und ja, ich habe nur drei Beine. Aber das erzählt längst nicht meine ganze Geschichte. Als man mich in Rumänien fand, war meine Vorderpfote so deformiert, dass sie mir operativ abgenommen werden musste. Schon vorher konnte ich sie nicht richtig belasten, deshalb bin ich als Dreibeinerin erstaunlich gut im Alltag angekommen. Für mich ist das ganz normal. Ich bin eine freundliche, liebe Seele und lebe aktuell in einem kleinen Rudel. Das funktioniert wunderbar, ich komme gut mit anderen Hunden zurecht. Bei fremden Hunden bin ich sogar tendenziell eher unterwürfig. Auch Katzen finde ich nicht schlimm und kann mit ihnen gut zusammenleben. Bewegung mag ich übrigens auch. Zwar bin ich keine Spitzensportlerin, aber kleinere Gassirunden schaffe ich gut und mit Freude. Momentan habe ich leider ein paar Gramm zu viel auf den Rippen – nicht, weil ich faul bin, sondern weil mir im Tierheim in Rumänien einfach die regelmäßige Bewegung gefehlt hat. Aber jetzt bin ich ja in Deutschland auf meiner Pflegestelle - mit Gassigängen, gutem Futter und ab und an paar Spielerunden mit meinen Hundekumpels, bin ich den Winterspeck sicher schnell los. Ich bin vermutlich ein HSH-Mix und habe bei fremden Menschen anfangs eine leichte Skepsis. Ich werde NICHT böse... bitte nicht falsch verstehen, aber ich gucke erstmal, wer da mit mir Kontakt aufnehmen will. Wenn ich dich in Ruhe kennenlernen darf, ist das Eis schnell gebrochen. Ansonsten zeige ich keine typischen Eigenschaften eines Herdenschutzhundes - außer vielleicht ab und an mal einen kleinen Sturschädel 😉 Für mein Wunschzuhause habe ich ein paar leise Träume: Ein ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause mit Garten wäre perfekt für mich. So könnte ich mich frei bewegen, schnuppern und mir meine Wege selbst einteilen – zusätzlich zu gemütlichen Spaziergängen. Vor allem wünsche ich mir Menschen mit Verständnis, Geduld und einem offenen Herzen, die mir trotz meiner fehlenden Pfote eine echte Chance geben. Ich bin nicht „kaputt“. Ich bin einfach Alice!!! Und vielleicht genau die Hündin, die dein Leben bereichert. Deine Alice 🐾💕 Gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alice?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cats & Dogs in Not handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alice if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cats & Dogs in Not 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 Alice 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 Alice 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 Cats & Dogs in Not early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alice 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.
