How do I contact the shelter about Karina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Karina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Karina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen 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 Karina 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 Karina 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 Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Karina 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.

Karina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Karina - a little stray girl on her way to happiness ❤️🐾 This is Karina. A small female dog who has not yet experienced the good side of life. 😔 Karina was found on the streets of Romania. No one knows what she has experienced and how long she was left to fend for herself. All we know is: she had no safe place, no own bed and no one who promised her that everything would be alright. 💔 But Karina's story should not end on the streets. ❤️ Today she lives in a loving foster home in Romania, where she is being shown very gently that people can also mean safety and security. 🏡🐾 Karina still needs to learn to trust. She needs time, patience and people who understand that trust does not come overnight. Every small step is a big success for her. A cautious glance, a little closeness, a moment when she feels safe - all these are small miracles on her way. 🥹❤️ We wish for Karina people with a big heart who will give her this time. People who are not only willing to see the finished, confident dog, but are willing to walk the path with her. Because somewhere deep in this little dog is a happy, loving dog girl just waiting to be discovered. ❤️ Karina does not need a perfect home. She needs a home that tells her: You are safe now. You will never be alone again. We will stay. 🐾❤️ Karina travels to Germany spayed, fully vaccinated, chipped and with an EU pet passport. Maybe you are the person who will allow Karina to find her trust again. 🏡💕 📩 If you would like to adopt Karina and give her a future, please contact us. Please fill out our placement questionnaire on our website: 🌐 tiernothilfe-ev.de Under "Adoption"

🐾❤️ Karina – ein kleines Straßenmädchen auf dem Weg ins Glück ❤️🐾 Das ist Karina. Eine kleine Hündin, die das Leben bisher nicht von seiner schönen Seite kennenlernen durfte. 😔 Karina wurde auf der Straße in Rumänien gefunden. Niemand weiß, was sie erlebt hat und wie lange sie auf sich allein gestellt war. Wir wissen nur: Sie hatte keinen sicheren Ort, kein eigenes Körbchen und niemanden, der ihr versprochen hat, dass alles gut wird. 💔 Doch Karinas Geschichte soll nicht auf der Straße enden. ❤️ Heute lebt sie auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle in Rumänien, wo man ihr ganz behutsam zeigt, dass Menschen auch Sicherheit und Geborgenheit bedeuten können. 🏡🐾 Karina muss noch lernen, zu vertrauen. Sie braucht Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die verstehen, dass Vertrauen nicht von heute auf morgen entsteht. Jeder kleine Schritt ist für sie ein großer Erfolg. Ein vorsichtiger Blick, ein bisschen Nähe, ein Moment, in dem sie sich sicher fühlt – all das sind kleine Wunder auf ihrem Weg. 🥹❤️ Wir wünschen uns für Karina Menschen mit einem großen Herzen, die ihr diese Zeit schenken. Menschen, die nicht nur den fertigen, selbstbewussten Hund sehen möchten, sondern bereit sind, gemeinsam mit ihr den Weg dorthin zu gehen. Denn irgendwo tief in dieser kleinen Hündin steckt ein fröhliches, liebevolles Hundemädchen, das nur darauf wartet, entdeckt zu werden. ❤️ Karina braucht kein perfektes Zuhause. Sie braucht ein Zuhause, das ihr sagt: Du bist jetzt sicher. Du musst nie wieder allein sein. Wir bleiben. 🐾❤️ Karina reist kastriert, komplett geimpft, gechipt und mit EU Heimtierausweis nach Deutschland. Vielleicht bist genau DU der Mensch, bei dem Karina ihr Vertrauen wiederfinden darf. 🏡💕 📩 Wenn du Karina adoptieren und ihr eine Zukunft schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne bei uns.

About Karina

What life with Karina looks like

Karina is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
