Fenja

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Fenja – female / neutered Born: approx. 2025 Size: approx. 35–40 cm / 8–9 kg Location: Romania Departure: anytime Sponsorship: still available 🌿 From cautious reserve, joy for life is slowly returning. A lot has changed for Fenja recently – and for the better! ❤️ The young female, who was initially very fearful of people, is becoming more and more open. She is still a little shy and needs time to build trust. But she is gradually opening up more and has rediscovered her joy for life. 🐾 Fenja's story began for us in a monastery garden, where she lived together with her presumed sister Ida and Ida's three puppies. Since the dogs were not allowed to stay there, our animal welfare volunteer took them in. Ida has also made lovely progress. 🐕 Fenja feels comfortable around dogs. She gets along absolutely well with other dogs and lives in a pack without any problems. We are now looking for people who understand that trust cannot be forced. A calm environment, patience, and loving care are especially important for her. Her future people should be willing to introduce her gently to new situations and give her plenty of time to settle in. 🏡 Fenja doesn't have to be brave right away, know everything immediately, or function perfectly from the very first day. She is simply allowed to be Fenja – a young female dog who has already made wonderful progress and still has so much ahead of her. 💗 How wonderful it would be if her next steps no longer had to be taken with our animal welfare volunteer, but by her own people's side!

Fenjaweiblich / kastriertGeb. : ca. 2025Größe: ca. 35–40 cm / 8–9 kg Aufenthaltsort: RumänienAusreise: jederzeitPatenschaft: noch zu vergeben🌿 Aus vorsichtiger Zurückhaltung wird langsam neue Lebensfreude. Bei Fenja hat sich in letzter Zeit einiges verändert – und zwar zum Positiven! ❤️Die junge Hündin, die Menschen anfangs sehr ängstlich begegnete, wird zunehmend offener. Noch immer ist sie etwas schüchtern und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch mittlerweile taut sie immer mehr auf und hat ihre Lebensfreude wiedergefunden. 🐾Fenjas Geschichte begann für uns in einem Klostergarten, wo sie gemeinsam mit ihrer vermutlich Schwester Ida und deren drei Welpen lebte. Da die Hunde dort nicht bleiben durften, nahm unsere Tierschützerin sie auf. Auch Ida hat inzwischen schöne Fortschritte gemacht. 🐕 Unter Hunden fühlt Fenja sich wohl. Sie ist mit ihren Artgenossen absolut verträglich und lebt problemlos im Rudel. Nun suchen wir für Fenja Menschen, die verstehen, dass Vertrauen nicht erzwungen werden kann. Ein ruhiges Umfeld, Geduld und ein liebevoller Umgang sind für sie besonders wichtig. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten bereit sein, sie behutsam an neue Situationen heranzuführen und ihr genügend Zeit zum Ankommen zu geben. 🏡 Fenja muss nicht sofort mutig sein, nicht gleich alles kennen und auch nicht vom ersten Tag an perfekt funktionieren. Sie darf einfach Fenja sein – eine junge Hündin, die bereits tolle Fortschritte gemacht hat und noch so viel vor sich hat. 💗 Wie schön wäre es, wenn sie ihre nächsten Schritte nicht mehr bei unserer Tierschützerin, sondern an der Seite ihrer eigenen Menschen machen dürfte?

About Fenja

What life with Fenja looks like

Fenja is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Stuttgart in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Fenja, answered.

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