Franka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Franka – small, sensitive female dog seeks experienced people Franka originally comes from a kill shelter in Romania and was rescued just in time. She now lives in a Romanian foster home and is waiting for her people. Franka generally meets people in a friendly way and enjoys contact. At the same time, she is a sensitive dog who can still react insecurely in some situations. For example, she startles at hectic movements or unfamiliar situations, and she needs people who can give her security with calm, patience and clarity. With the right guidance she takes direction well and will gain more trust step by step. Franka can generally live well in a group with other dogs. In social contact, however, she sometimes tends to correct fellow dogs more often than necessary, and she still has some catching up to do here. With confident guidance and good management, we are confident that she will learn a great deal more in this area as well. Physical care measures are also still difficult for Franka and cause her mainly worry. Training here should continue calmly, in small steps and with plenty of patience. Like every dog from international animal welfare, Franka will first need to get to know the basics of life in Germany. With clear structures, loving consistency and a competent dog training school, she has the best prerequisites to develop into a wonderful companion. For Franka, we wish for a home with dog experience, or an equally experienced foster home, with people who can confidently provide her with orientation and structure and patiently guide her through new situations. After a positive pre-screening, Franka may travel to her new home or to her foster home (no adoption fee) neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport, for an adoption fee of 495 euros.

Franka – kleine, sensible Hündin sucht erfahrene Menschen Franka stammt ursprünglich aus einer Tötungsstation in Rumänien und konnte rechtzeitig gerettet werden. Inzwischen lebt die kleine Hündin auf einer rumänischen Pflegestelle und wartet nun auf ihre Menschen. Franka begegnet Menschen grundsätzlich freundlich und freut sich über Kontakt. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine sensible Hündin, die in manchen Situationen noch unsicher reagiert. Sie erschrickt sich beispielsweise bei hektischen Bewegungen oder ungewohnten Situationen und braucht Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe, Geduld und Klarheit Sicherheit vermitteln. Mit der richtigen Anleitung nimmt sie Orientierung gut an und wird Schritt für Schritt mehr Vertrauen gewinnen. Mit anderen Hunden kann Franka grundsätzlich gut in einer Hundegruppe leben. Im Sozialkontakt neigt sie jedoch teils dazu, Artgenossen öfter als notwendig zu maßregeln und hat hier noch Aufholbedarf. Mit einer souveränen Anleitung und einem guten Management sind wir jedoch zuversichtlich, dass sie auch in diesem Bereich noch viel dazulernen wird. Auch körperliche Pflegemaßnahmen fallen Franka derzeit noch schwer und bereiten ihr in erster Linie Sorgen. Hier sollte weiterhin ruhig, kleinschrittig und mit viel Geduld trainiert werden. Wie jeder Hund aus dem Auslandstierschutz wird auch Franka die Grundlagen des Lebens in Deutschland erst noch kennenlernen. Mit klaren Strukturen, liebevoller Konsequenz und einer kompetenten Hundeschule bringt sie beste Voraussetzungen mit, sich zu einer tollen Begleiterin zu entwickeln. Für Franka wünschen wir uns ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause oder eine ebenso erfahrene Pflegestelle bei Menschen, die ihr souverän Orientierung und Struktur vermitteln und sie geduldig durch neue Situationen begleiten. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Franka kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in ihr neues Zuhause beziehungsweise auf ihre Pflegestelle (Schutzgebühr entfällt) reisen.

About Franka

What life with Franka looks like

Franka is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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 Franka, answered.

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