Anna

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Shy Anna is waiting for her cuddle spot!! 🏡🐕💜 Anna and her siblings did not have an easy start in life. The litter was found on a garbage dump. Luckily, they were rescued from that place and have been living with our animal rights activist Lumi at the animal shelter in Borsa, Romania. Unfortunately, the siblings cannot tell us what they experienced, but it has left its mark. Anna was very anxious and only let Lumi pet her. She also cuddles with Lumi and seeks her closeness. With strangers, she is curious, but keeps her distance at first. However, if you take your time and are patient, Anna lets herself be gently petted and bribed with treats. Anna is still afraid of new situations. She is friendly and social with other dogs. Anna is currently learning to wear a harness and walk on a leash and is making great progress! Anna is making progress every month and is becoming more open and trusting. Nevertheless, she will need a lot of time to gain trust in her new home. The pretty puppy grew up in the shelter and has not yet experienced many environmental stimuli. Therefore, we are looking for people with dog experience who can explain the world to her with a lot of security, love, and patience. Anna's new home should be rural, without a lot of hustle and bustle, and without children. A confident first dog would certainly help her get used to the new impressions and conditions, but it is not a must. Do you want to show Anna how beautiful a dog's life can be? 🐕🐾❤️ This is our assessment of Anna's current behavior, how she will show herself in Germany, we cannot predict. Like us humans, every dog can change and develop. YouTube Video Link to Playlist:

Schüchterne Anna wartet auf ihr Kuschelplätzchen!! 🏡🐕💜 Anna und ihre Geschwister hatten keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Die Rasselbande wurde auf einer Müllkippe gefunden. Zum Glück konnten sie von diesem Ort gerettet werden und leben seitdem bei unserer Tierschützerin Lumi im Tierheim in Borsa, Rumänien. Was die Geschwister erlebt haben, können sie uns leider nicht erzählen, aber es hat Spuren hinterlassen. Anna war sehr ängstlich und hat sich nur von Lumi streicheln lassen. Mit Lumi kuschelt sie auch und sucht ihre Nähe. Bei fremden Menschen ist sie neugierig, aber hält anfangs erst mal Abstand. Wenn man sich aber Zeit und Ruhe nimmt, lässt Anna sich vorsichtig streicheln und mit Leckerchen bestechen. Vor neuen Situationen hat Anna noch Angst. Den anderen Hunden gegenüber zeigt sie sich freundlich und sozial. Anna lernt aktuell, ein Geschirr zu tragen und an der Leine zu laufen und macht dabei tolle Fortschritte! Anna macht jeden Monat Fortschritte und wird immer offener und zutraulicher. Trotzdem wird sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause sehr viel Zeit benötigen, Vertrauen zu fassen. Die hübsche Hündin ist im Tierheim aufgewachsen und hat noch nicht viel Umweltreize kennen gelernt. Darum suchen wir für Anna Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die ihr mit ganz viel Sicherheit, Liebe und Geduld die Welt erklären. Annas neues Zuhause sollte ländlich liegen, ohne großen Trubel und ohne Kinder. Ein souveräner Ersthund würde ihr sicher helfen, sich an die neuen Eindrücke und Gegebenheiten zu gewöhnen, ist aber kein Muss. Möchtest du Anna zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann? 🐕🐾❤️ Dies ist unsere Einschätzung des aktuellen Verhaltens von Anna, wie sie sich in Deutschland zeigen wird, können wir nicht voraussagen. Jeder Hund kann sich genau wie wir Menschen verändern und entwickeln. YouTube Video Link zur Playlist:

About Anna

What life with Anna looks like

Anna is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mischlingsliebe e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mischlingsliebe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Anna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mischlingsliebe 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Anna 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 Anna 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 Mischlingsliebe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Anna 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.
