Alma

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Gender female Born 09/2021 Size approx. 40cm Weight 13kg Alva is a nice and gentle female dog who enjoys being in contact with fellow animals. But she also approaches two-legged beings openly and friendly. Together with her puppy Minu, both were discovered and secured near a heavily trafficked road. She is very cuddly, unfortunately, the time at the Romanian shelter is always very limited, so Alma often does not get the attention she deserves. We therefore hope very much to find a lovely home for the pretty lady with great people soon. Alva travels completely vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and treated for worms with Spot on and Tracespots to her new home. For serious interest in adoption, please fill out the contact form for Alva via the following link.

Geschlecht weiblich Geb 09/2021 Größe ca 40cm Gewicht 13kg Alva ist eine nette und sanfte Hündin, die gerne mit Artgenossen im Kontakt ist. Aber auch auf Zweibeiner geht die schöne Hündin offen und freundlich zu. Zusammen mit ihrem Welpen Minu wurden Beide am Rand einer stark befahrenen Straße entdeckt und gesichert. Sie ist sehr verschmust, leider ist die Zeit im rumänischen Shelter immer sehr begrenzt, so dass Alma oft nicht auf ihre Kosten kommt. Wir hoffen daher sehr, schnell ein Zuhause bei tollen Menschen für die hübsche Dame zu finden. Alva reist komplett geimpft, gechipt, kastriert, mehrfach entwurmt mit Spot on und Tracespapieren ins neue Zuhause. Bei ernsthaften Interesse an einer Adoption, füllen Sie bitte über folgenden Link das Kontaktformular für Alva aus.

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

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" — 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 Alma, answered.

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