Alma (w)

Mixed Breed · Female

Alma – when are you finally your turn? 🐾💛 For over three years Alma has been waiting. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. And the worst part? There has never been a single inquiry for her. 😔 Yet Alma has so much love to give. The approximately six-year-old, about 50 cm large female dog lives with Madalina in the Romanian city of Constanța. She is doing significantly better there than in a municipal shelter – that we want to say quite clearly. Nevertheless even the best animal shelter does not replace one's own home. By now Alma is slowly graying around her muzzle. Her cute little mustache gives her a very special charm. But over the years she has also become quieter and sadder. She longs for finally having someone to call her own. 🏡 Alma is a wonderful dog: friendly, open, incredibly people-oriented and affectionate. She enjoys every attention and seeks the proximity of humans. In free running she shows herself absolutely compatible with other dogs and belongs rather to the quieter representatives of her kind. A cat test can be carried out on site in case of serious interest. Currently there are no known health problems. Nevertheless we want to be honest: veterinary care and diagnostics in Romania is not comparable to that in Germany. In addition Alma is no longer a young dog at six years old. As with every dog smaller or larger ailments can occur with increasing age – this should belong to her future family as a matter of course. We wish for Alma people who are not looking for perfection, but for a loyal companion with a big heart. People who show her that the long waiting has paid off and that she finally arrives too. ❤️ Who gives Alma what she has been vainly hoping for for so many years – a loving home? ℹ️ Alma is spayed/neutered, multiple vaccinated, dewormed, chipped and of course in possession of an EU passport. Upon her departure she will already have been treated against fleas and a Snap-D4 test will be carried out beforehand.

Alma – wann bist endlich DU an der Reihe? 🐾💛 Seit über drei Jahren wartet Alma. Tag für Tag. Woche für Woche. Monat für Monat. Und das Schlimmste daran? Es gab noch nie eine einzige Anfrage für sie. 😔 Dabei hat Alma so viel Liebe zu verschenken. Die etwa sechs Jahre alte, rund 50 cm große Hündin lebt bei Madalina in der rumänischen Stadt Constanța. Dort geht es ihr deutlich besser als in einem städtischen Shelter – das möchten wir ganz klar sagen. Trotzdem ersetzt auch das beste Tierheim kein eigenes Zuhause. Mittlerweile wird Alma langsam grau um die Schnauze. Ihr niedlicher kleiner Schnauzbart verleiht ihr einen ganz besonderen Charme. Doch mit den Jahren ist sie auch ruhiger und trauriger geworden. Sie wünscht sich endlich einen Menschen, den sie ihr Eigen nennen darf. 🏡 Alma ist eine wunderbare Hündin: freundlich, offen, unglaublich menschenbezogen und verschmust. Sie genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit und sucht die Nähe der Menschen. Im Freilauf zeigt sie sich mit anderen Hunden absolut verträglich und gehört eher zu den ruhigeren Vertretern ihrer Art. Ein Katzentest kann bei ernsthaftem Interesse selbstverständlich vor Ort durchgeführt werden. Gesundheitlich sind derzeit keine Probleme bekannt. Dennoch möchten wir ehrlich sein: Die tierärztliche Versorgung und Diagnostik in Rumänien ist nicht mit der in Deutschland vergleichbar. Zudem ist Alma mit ihren sechs Jahren keine junge Hündin mehr. Wie bei jedem Hund können mit zunehmendem Alter kleinere oder größere Wehwehchen auftreten – das sollte für ihre zukünftige Familie selbstverständlich dazugehören. Wir wünschen uns für Alma Menschen, die nicht nach Perfektion suchen, sondern nach einer treuen Begleiterin mit großem Herzen. Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sich das lange Warten gelohnt hat und dass auch sie endlich ankommen darf. ❤️ Wer schenkt Alma das, worauf sie seit so vielen Jahren vergeblich hofft – ein liebevolles Zuhause? ℹ️ Alma ist kastriert, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises. Bei ihrer Ausreise ist sie zudem bereits gegen Flöhe behandelt und es wird zuvor noch ein Snap-D4-Test durchgeführt. ——————————————— 📍

About Alma (w)

What life with Alma (w) looks like

Alma (w) is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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 (w), answered.

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