Flake

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Flake, born in 2024 (we do not yet have a date of birth), is an impressive young female dog standing about 70 cm at the shoulder. She brings plenty of energy, joie de vivre and strength – a dog who needs a task and people who can meet her both physically and mentally. Flake is very affectionate, actively seeks closeness and is cuddly, but often boisterous and demanding. She means well, but her energy is considerable – for this reason, children in the household should be at least 12 years old. Younger children would not be suitable for her due to her exuberant nature. When it comes to other dogs, Flake is tolerant but shows a rather dominant side. We therefore see Flake more as a "single princess" who should not have to share her people's attention with another four-legged companion. She needs clear structure, confident people and an environment that gives her stability. An active home where she is challenged physically and mentally is therefore a MUST. A home in a more rural setting with a fenced property, where she can move freely and channel her energy in orderly ways, would be particularly suitable. Flake is a dog with great potential – a young, powerful companion who wants to discover the world and is looking for people to accompany her on the way. Vierbeiner in Not e. V. wants to help Flake find a loving home or a suitable foster placement. We therefore provide adoption assistance and support her on her path to a new life. Flake is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and will be placed with a protection contract following a positive pre-adoption check. 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 considerably in conveying as accurate a picture as possible of each individual dog. 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 entirely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs open up even faster in a home and show sides that were not visible at the shelter at all. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations but are not a guarantee of any particular behavior in a new environment. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter – and what potential lies within her. We are convinced that with patience, understanding and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Flake, geboren im Jahr 2024 (ein Geburtsdatum liegen uns noch nicht vor), ist eine beeindruckende junge Hündin mit etwa 70 cm Schulterhöhe. Sie bringt viel Energie, Lebensfreude und Kraft mit – ein Hund, der eine Aufgabe braucht und Menschen, die ihr körperlich wie geistig gerecht werden.Flake ist sehr zutraulich, sucht aktiv Nähe und zeigt sich verschmust, dabei aber oft stürmisch und fordernd. Sie meint es freundlich, doch ihre Energie ist groß – deshalb sollten Kinder im Haushalt mindestens 12 Jahre alt sein. Kleinere Kinder wären für sie, aufgrund ihrer überschwänglichen Art nicht geeignet.Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden ist Flake verträglich, zeigt jedoch eine eher dominante Seite. Daher sehen wir Flake eher als "Einzelprinzessin", die die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen nicht mit einer anderen Fellnase teilen sollte. Sie braucht klare Strukturen, souveräne Menschen und ein Umfeld, das ihr Halt gibt. Ein aktives Zuhause, in dem sie körperlich und geistig ausgelastet wird, ist daher ein MUSS. Besonders geeignet wäre ein Zuhause in einem eher ländlich geprägten Raum und mit einem eingezäuntes Grundstück, auf dem sie sich frei bewegen und ihre Energie in geordneten Bahnen ausleben kann.Flake ist ein Hund mit viel Potenzial – eine junge, kraftvolle Fellnase, die die Welt entdecken möchte und Menschen sucht, die sie dabei begleiten.Vierbeiner in Not e. V. möchte Flake helfen, ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine passende Pflegestelle zu finden. Daher leisten wir Vermittlungshilfe und begleiten sie in ihrem Weg in ein neues Leben. Flake 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 Flake

What life with Flake looks like

Flake is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flake, answered.

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