Fee

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Still uncertain, compatible The little Fee is a victim from an animal hoarding case and was rescued along with 113 other dogs (and over 20 cats) by Hope Animal Shelter in Romania. In Smeura, all were initially checked and fed up, and then for a part of them, it went to our intake station where they are now on the lookout for a beautiful and loving home. Fee takes a bit longer than her friends to trust us and although she runs up happily and takes the offered treats, she prefers to keep a safe distance from us humans. Once she knows someone for a while, she can be cuddled, but with strangers, she retreats. Due to a stomach infection, she spent a few days in a foster home and after a brief period of uncertainty, she showed what a really great little mouse she is. She is nearly house-trained, interested in everything, and loves to explore the (escape-proof) garden. Leash and hiss find her spooky at the moment, so it would be great if she had the opportunity to go into the garden. If she is simply allowed to do things at her own pace, she will come around and seek contact. She loves to be stroked and cuddled and shows a different side. However, she does not like to be pushed and shows what she thinks of it. She is also a uncomplicated backseat passenger in the car. For our sweet Fee with the charming underbite, we are looking for a quiet home with people who can wait a bit but then get a cool, really fun, and unique female dog. Of course, she still has a lot to learn, but with a little support and at her own pace, it will go quickly. Anyone who would like to meet Fee or has questions about her can contact her foster parent.

DE·Show original

noch unsicher, verträglich Die kleine Fee ist ein Opfer aus einem Animal Hording Fall und wurde mit 113 anderen weiteren Hunden (und über 20 Katzen) von der Tierhilfe Hoffnung in Rumänien gerettet. In der Smeura wurden alle erst einmal durchgecheckt und aufgepäppelt, bis es dann für einen Teil von ihnen zu uns die Auffangstation ging, wo sich nun alle auf die Suche nach einen schönen und liebevollen Zuhause machen. Fee brauchte etwas länger als ihre Freunde, um Vertrauen zu uns zu fassen und kommt zwar freudig angerannt und nimmt auch gerne die angebotenen Leckerchen - darüber hinaus hält sie aber lieber noch Sicherheitsabstand zu uns Menschen. Deshalb hatte sie das große Glück sich in einer Pflegestelle davon zu überzeugen, dass wir Menschen gar nicht so gruselig sind. Aber auch hier zeigt sich: zu ihrer Bezugsperson ist sie super aufgeschlossen und total verschmust, fremde Menschen müssen eine etwas längere Kennenlernzeit einplanen. Fee liebt es, spazieren zu gehen und ist auch bereits stubenrein. In der Wohnung bewegt sie sich, als hätte die feine Dame noch nie woanders gewohnt ;- ) Ihren Garten und die Couch liebt sie sehr und kann auch bereits eine Weile alleine bleiben. Eine unkomplizierte Beifahrerin im Auto ist sie ebenfalls. Für unsere zuckersüße Fee mit dem charmanten Unterbiss suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die es ertragen können, wenn sie erstmal etwas abwarten müssen, dann aber eine coole, wirklich lustige und einzigartige Hündin bekommen. Sicherlich muss sie noch einiges lernen, aber mit etwas Unterstützung und in ihrem eigenen Tempo gibt sie sich die allergröße Mühe. Da Fee anfangs noch nicht angefasst werden möchte, ist ein vorhandener, gesicherter Garten unabdingbar für sie. Wer Fee gerne einmal kennenlernen möchte oder Fragen zu ihr hat, kann sich hierzu gerne an ihre Vermittlerin wenden.

About Fee

What life with Fee looks like

Fee is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

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 Fee, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fee?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fee on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fee if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Fee 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 Fee 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fee 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.
