Adopt Cassie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

ProfileAge: born in July 2025. Gender: female. Spayed: noCharacter: friendly, very curious, a bit shy, playfully puppy-like, compatible with other dogsSize: growing (probably remaining medium-sized)At the shelter since: October 2025Sometimes life shows its darkest side - and right in the middle of it shines a small light of hope. This young female dog was simply left in a box in front of the shelter in Romania. Alone, frightened, not understanding why she had been left to herself. But despite this difficult start, she has not lost her trust in the world. She is still a bit reserved. When you visit her in her kennel and touch her, you can see how she thinks about what is happening. Although she is inexperienced in dealing with people, you can see that she begins to enjoy it. In her eyes, curiosity repeatedly shines: the longing to discover the world, to play, to learn, to be loved. When you leave her kennel, however, she becomes very brave and exceeds herself. She jumps around the bars with joy and begs for cuddles. Then she suddenly seems transformed. She currently lives in the shelter with Merlin, an older, sick male dog. She strongly depends on him, seeks his company and finds a small piece of security in this noisy new world. She is open and friendly towards other dogs - she shows that despite all uncertainty, there is a lot of love in her heart. For this gentle soul, we are looking for a home that gives her love and security. People who do not pressure her, but step by step show her that she is now safe. Then she will quickly learn - and return all the love she so urgently needs. If you feel that you would like to give this little girl a home full of trust, please contact us. Perhaps she is waiting for you. If you are interested in Cassie, please fill out our interest form () or send us an email at or a message via Facebook. Cassie is ready for adoption and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with traces. Traces refers to the database system used to monitor all animal traffic within the EU. The dogs are spayed (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed and have an EU passport. In addition, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted for dogs over 12 months before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilaria and leishmaniasis. Eleonore R. has taken on the sponsorship of Cassie and thus ensures a filled bowl. Thank you very much on behalf of the dogs!

SteckbriefAlter: ca. im Juli 2025 geboren. Geschlecht: weiblich. Kastriert: neinCharakter: freundlich, sehr neugierig, etwas schüchtern, welpentypisch verspielt, verträglich mit ArtgenossenGröße: im Wachstum (vermutlich mittelgroß bleibend)Im Shelter seit: Oktober 2025Manchmal zeigt das Leben seine dunkelste Seite – und mitten darin leuchtet ein kleines Licht der Hoffnung. Dieses junge Hundemädchen wurde einfach in einem Karton vor dem Shelter in Rumänien abgestellt. Allein, verängstigt, ohne zu verstehen, warum man sie sich selbst überlassen hat.Doch trotz dieses schweren Starts hat sie ihr Vertrauen in die Welt nicht verloren. Sie ist noch etwas zurückhaltend. Wenn man sie in ihrem Zwinger besucht und berührt, merkt man wie sie darüber nachdenkt, was gerade passiert. Trotz dass sie so unerfahren im Umgang mit Menschen ist, merkt man aber, dass sie anfängt, es zu genießen. In ihren Augen blitzt immer wieder die Neugier auf: die Sehnsucht, die Welt zu entdecken, zu spielen, zu lernen, geliebt zu werden.Verlässt man ihren Zwinger aber, wird sie sehr mutig und wächst über sich hinaus. Vor Freude springt sie am Gittern herum und bettelt um Streicheleinheiten. Dann ist sie plötzlich wie aus gewandelt. Im Shelter lebt sie derzeit mit Merlin, einem älteren, kranken Rüden, zusammen. Sie orientiert sich stark an ihm, sucht seine Nähe und findet bei ihm ein kleines Stück Sicherheit in dieser lauten, neuen Welt. Zu anderen Hunden ist sie offen und freundlich – sie zeigt, dass in ihrem Herzen trotz aller Unsicherheit ganz viel Liebe steckt.Für dieses sanfte Seelchen suchen wir ein Zuhause, das ihr Liebe und Geborgenheit schenkt. Menschen, die sie nicht bedrängen, sondern ihr Schritt für Schritt zeigen, dass sie nun sicher ist. Dann wird sie schnell lernen – und all die Liebe zurückgeben, die sie jetzt so dringend braucht.Wenn du spürst, dass du diesem kleinen Mädchen ein Zuhause voller Vertrauen schenken möchtest, dann melde dich. Vielleicht wartet sie genau auf dich. Wenn Sie Interesse an Cassie haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Cassie ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Eleonore R. hat die Patenschaft für Cassie übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Cassie

What life with Cassie looks like

Cassie is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

An young 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 Cassie, answered.

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