Chiara

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Chiara, born in 2019 and about 48 cm tall, is a reserved and still cautious female dog with a great deal of potential if she is given a chance. At our shelter, Chiara was long considered a fearful dog. However, when you give her a little time and visit her two or three days in a row, she shows a touching development: she leaves her protective hiding place and reveals herself to be surprisingly brave and curious. That we were able to experience this is simply wonderful for us, because it shows us that Chiara is interested in people, that her curiosity outweighs her insecurity, and that she can overcome her uncertainty and fears in this way. Her gaze is always alert and open! Visit update February 2026: Chiara shows a lovely, quiet change. During the current visit she seemed noticeably more open and curious. She came to the gate to collect treats and watched attentively what was happening around her. Particularly touching: she did not retreat immediately into her kennel, but stayed outside and seemed overall more interested and present. A small but important step for a dog like her, and a sign that Chiara is slowly building trust. Chiara should get a chance at a new life as soon as possible! For beautiful Chiara, we wish for empathetic and patient people – as adopters or foster carers – who give her time to build trust and offer her a calm, stable environment. Chiara is neutered and will be vaccinated, microchipped, and, after a positive preliminary check, placed with a protection contract. General note about our animals: Our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can continually reassess their behavior and development. These personal impressions help us a great deal in presenting each individual dog as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that a dog may show itself differently in a new environment – with new people, new routines, and new impressions. This is completely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs even open up more quickly at home and show sides of themselves that were not visible at the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but they are not a guarantee of any particular behavior in a new environment. They are meant to provide orientation and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter – and what potential it holds. We are convinced that with patience, understanding, and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Chiara, geb. 2019 und etwa 48 cm groß, ist eine zurückhaltende und noch vorsichtige Hündin mit ganz viel Potential, wenn man ihr eine Chance gibt.Chiara galt bei uns lange als Angsthündin, doch wenn man ihr ein wenig Zeit schenkt und sie zwei oder drei Tage hintereinander besucht, zeigt sie eine berührende Entwicklung: Sie verlässt ihr schützendes Versteck und zeigt sich überraschend mutig und neugierig. Das wir die Erfahrung machen durften ist für und einfach nur wunderbar, denn so wissen wir, dass Chiara interessiert am Menschen ist, ihre Neugierde überwiegt und sie so ihre Unsicherheit bzw. Ängste überwinden kann. Ihr Blick ist stets wach und offen!Update Besuch Februar 2026: Chiara zeigt eine schöne, leise Veränderung. Beim aktuellen Besuch wirkte sie deutlich offener und neugieriger. Sie kam ans Gitter, um sich Leckereien abzuholen, und beobachtete aufmerksam, was um sie herum geschah. Besonders berührend: Sie zog sich nicht sofort in ihre Hütte zurück, sondern blieb draußen und wirkte insgesamt interessierter und präsenter.Ein kleiner, aber wichtiger Schritt für eine Hündin wie sie — und ein Zeichen dafür, dass Chiara langsam Vertrauen fasst.Chiara sollte so schnell wie möglich eine Chance bekommen auf ein neues Leben bekommen! Für die schöne Chiara wünschen wir uns einfühlsame und geduldige Menschen – als Adoptanten oder Pflegestelle –, die ihr Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und ihr eine ruhige, stabile Umgebung bieten. Chiara ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechippt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Chiara

What life with Chiara looks like

Chiara is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chiara, answered.

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