Carmina

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Full of joy Carmina is a female dog, approximately 4 years old (born July 2021), currently waiting in a Romanian animal shelter for her chance. She came into the care of animal welfare workers together with her sister Hermina. Carmina is a friendly, affectionate, and playful female dog who greatly enjoys the company of humans. She loves cuddles just as much as active play sessions and exploring her surroundings curiously. As Carmina has been living in the animal shelter for a longer time, she will need some patience to get used to life in a home and walking on a leash. With loving guidance, however, she will surely learn quickly and gain trust. Carmina is a medium-sized female dog with a shoulder height of about 46 cm and weighs around 21 kg. Who will give this lively female dog the chance at a foster home?

.......... voller Lebensfreude Carmina ist eine etwa 4 Jahre alte Hündin (geb. 07/2021), die derzeit noch in einem rumänischen Tierheim auf ihre Chance wartet. Sie kam gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Hermina in die Obhut der Tierschützer. Carmina ist eine freundliche, anhängliche und verspielte Hündin, die die Nähe zum Menschen sehr genießt. Sie liebt Streicheleinheiten genauso wie aktive Spielrunden und das neugierige Erkunden ihrer Umgebung. Da Carmina schon längere Zeit im Tierheim lebt, wird sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause etwas Geduld brauchen, um sich an das Leben im Haus und das Laufen an der Leine zu gewöhnen. Mit liebevoller Führung wird sie aber sicher schnell lernen und Vertrauen fassen. Carmina ist eine mittelgroße Hündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 46 cm und wiegt rund 21 kg. Wer gibt dieser lebensfrohen Hündin die Chance auf ein geborgenes Zuhause?

About Carmina

What life with Carmina looks like

Carmina is a medium-sized 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 Carmina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carmina?
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 Carmina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carmina 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 Carmina 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 Carmina 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 Carmina 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.
