Alma

Mixed Breed · Male · 4 years

Alma a trăit o viață ținută în lanț, în Chiajna. Când Poliția Animalelor i-a vizitat proprietarul, a preferat să scape de ea, în loc s-o sterilizeze sau să accepte să stea dezlegată. Alma înseamnă suflet, i-am spus așa pentru că ni s-a părut că abandonul i-a frânt sufletul. Dar ne înșelam. După o viață cu Stăpâni, nu cu familie, Alma a fost fericită să fie în adăpost. A alergat mult, s-a jucat și ne-a șoptit că ar vrea să mai încerce încă o dată, în altă casă. Este o corcitură de malinois destul de apropiată de original 🙂 Dacă nu poți să-i oferi tu căminul mult visat, o poți totuși ajuta. Prin adopția la distanță , contribui direct la îngrijirea Almei – mâncare, tratamente, plimbări și antrenamente care o vor pregăti pentru familia care va veni. Cu puțin de la tine, viața ei poate deveni mai bună în fiecare zi.

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Speranța Shelter Foundation in Romania.

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.

Note from the shelter: Previously chained, needs rehabilitation and patient family

🇷🇴Adopting from Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.

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. Speranța Shelter Foundation 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 — Speranța Shelter Foundation 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 Speranța Shelter Foundation 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 (EN). 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.
