Lena

Mixed Breed ยท Female ยท Puppy ยท 6 months

Lena, abandoned at the edge of the forest, is looking for a loving home. Who has a cuddly bed for this sweet little girl? ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’— Hello, I'm Lena from Romania, and I'm searching for my "Forever Bed." Here in Romania, it's not a given that every dog has its own bed or has a master or mistress. No, that's really something special. I too was found abandoned at the edge of the forest with my siblings, when we were still very young. As if by a miracle, we were rescued; who knows how else it might have ended. Since then I have lived in a private shelter. I lack nothing, my tummy is full, and I don't have to worry about anything. But that feeling of belonging, always having someone around who looks after me and shares adventures with me, that I miss. That's why I very much wish to find my person now and spend a wonderful time together, grow old with him and live a happy life. Of course I still have to learn "sit" and all the basics. I don't know much yet, but surely we'll manage it together. So now I hope you see me here and get in touch very quickly, so that I can move in with you all the sooner. I look forward to it, your Lena. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ÿ Key data: Puppy, female, about 6 months old (as of September 2021), breed unknown/mixed (mother unknown).

She travels microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, treated against parasites, with an EU pet passport and TRACES. Neutering is not possible due to her age. The

Seitdem lebe ich in eine privaten Shelter, es fehlt mir auch so an nichts, mein Bรคuchlein ist gefรผllt und ich muss mir keine Sorgen machen, nur dieses Gefรผhl wo dazuzugehรถren, immer jemanden um sich zu haben der sich um mich kรผmmert, mit mir gemeinsam Abenteuer erlebt das fehlt mir. Deshalb wรผnsche ich auch sehr das ich jetzt meinen Menschen finde und mit ihm gemeinsam eine tolle Zeit verbringen kann, bei ihm alt werden darf und ein glรผckliches Leben mit ihm verbringen. Das Hunde einmal Eins muss ich natรผrlich noch lernen, ich kenne natรผrlich noch nicht viel, aber bestimmt bekommen wir das Gemeinsam hin.

About Lena

What life with Lena looks like

Lena is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Meuselwitzer Tierschutzinitiative in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window โ€” house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 Lena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lena?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Meuselwitzer Tierschutzinitiative handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lena if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Meuselwitzer Tierschutzinitiative 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 Lena 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lena isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Meuselwitzer Tierschutzinitiative early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lena 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 โ€” 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.
