Katrina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Katrina, a social but anxious female dog, was born around 2018, is approximately 55 cm tall, and has been at the shelter since 2018. She came to Maria as a puppy with her mother and siblings Jinny and Kyrill and has not had a chance at a home since. She is very social but has not had much human contact, so she is reserved and anxious. Unfortunately, her mother died at the shelter, and we hope her siblings do not suffer the same fate. Katrina is very attached to Jinny and Kyrill and can only be adopted with them. We are looking for a home for her with empathetic and experienced people who can show her what a good dog life is like in peace and without pressure or expectations. It should be okay if she never wants to go for walks or cuddle like normal dogs. Maybe they will be good for one or two positive surprises. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. We are aware that the chances are very low for three large, anxious dogs, so we would be very happy if someone takes on a sponsorship. Currently in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

11/2024 Futterpatenschaft: - Tierarztpatenschaft: - Katrina, geboren ca. 2018, kastriert, ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2018 Katrina kam als Welpe gemeinsam mit ihrer Mutter und ihren Geschwistern Jinny und Kyrill zu Maria und hatte seitdem noch keine Chance auf ein Zuhause. Sie ist eine sehr soziale Hündin, die jedoch noch nicht allzu viel Menschenkontakt hatte. Daher ist sie zurückhaltend und ängstlich, an Streicheleinheiten ist momentan nicht zu denken. Leider ist ihre Mutter im Shelter verstorben, für die Geschwister wünschen wir uns sehr, dass ihnen dieses Schicksal erspart bleibt. Katrina hängt sehr an Jinny und Kyrill und kann daher nur mit ihnen zusammen vermittelt werden. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihnen in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn sie nie wie normale Hunde Gassi gehen oder kuscheln wollen. Vielleicht sind sie dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus ist Grundvoraussetzung. Uns ist bewusst, dass für drei große, ängstliche Hunde die Chancen sehr schlecht stehen, daher würden wir uns sehr freuen wenn jemand eine Patenschaft übernimmt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Katrina

What life with Katrina looks like

Katrina is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future 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 Katrina, answered.

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