Franzi

West Highland White Terrier · Female · Adult · 5 years

This little sweetie is named Franzi. The approximately 5-year-old, neutered female dog is likely a West Highland Terrier mix, weighs about 10 kg, and stands roughly 30 cm tall at the shoulder. Franzi has only recently started living at her foster home, where she’s proving to be a friendly, open, and curious dog. Now, this lovely girl is looking for her own forever family. With her intelligence, Franzi has all the right qualities to become an amazing companion with loving, consistent training and good leadership. She already walks nicely on a leash and travels comfortably in the car. We’d love for Franzi to find an active home where she can stay both physically and mentally stimulated. She learns quickly, is attentive, and will surely enjoy discovering the world together with her people. Franzi gets along very well with other dogs. All that’s missing now is a family who’ll give her a forever home filled with love, patience, and time. 🟢Interested? Please fill out our self-assessment form.

Diese kleine Zuckerschnute heißt Franzi. Die etwa 5 Jahre alte, kastrierte Hündin ist vermutlich ein West Highland Terrier-Mix, wiegt ca. 10 kg und hat eine Schulterhöhe von rund 30 cm. Franzi lebt erst seit Kurzem auf ihrer Pflegestelle und zeigt sich dort als freundliche, offene und neugierige Hündin. Nun sucht das liebe Hundemädchen ihre eigenen Menschen. Die kluge Franzi bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit, um bei liebevoller, konsequenter Erziehung und einer guten Führung zu einer tollen Begleiterin zu werden. Schon jetzt läuft sie recht gut an der Leine und fährt problemlos im Auto mit. Wir wünschen uns für Franzi ein aktives Zuhause, in dem sie sowohl körperlich als auch geistig ausgelastet wird. Sie lernt schnell, ist aufmerksam und hat sicher viel Freude daran, gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen die Welt zu entdecken. Mit anderen Hunden ist Franzi sehr gut verträglich. Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch eine Familie, die ihr mit Liebe, Geduld und Zeit ein endgültiges Zuhause schenkt. 🟢Interesse? Bitte fülle unsere Selbstauskunft aus

About Franzi

What life with Franzi looks like

Franzi is a adult west highland white terrier dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien 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. 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 Franzi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franzi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Notfellchen Rumänien e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Franzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franzi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Notfellchen Rumänien 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Franzi 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 Franzi 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 Notfellchen Rumänien e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Franzi 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.
