Lene

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Lene – Gentle Female Dog Seeking Experienced People Lene originally comes from a public shelter in Romania. There she was on the kill list and was due to be put down. Fortunately, she could be rescued in time, and she now lives in a foster home in Romania. Lene is a small, gentle and friendly dog who generally takes great pleasure in people. She approaches them openly and always comes back gladly for a cuddle. She increasingly enjoys being close to people and shows how lovable and uncomplicated she can be. In some situations Lene is still unsure and needs a moment to settle into a new situation. It helps her when someone gently takes her by the hand and gives her some guidance. However, she does not show any major fears. Rather, she brings good qualities with her and, with the right support, can develop quickly and grow increasingly confident. For Lene, we are hoping for people who will meet her with patience, calm and confident guidance. She should be allowed to learn that she can rely on her people and will manage new situations well together with them. With a reliable routine, clear structures and loving consistency, she will surely develop more and more trust and self-assurance. Since Lene comes from a public shelter and has probably had little opportunity to get to know much so far, we are ideally looking for dog-experienced people who enjoy accompanying her on her journey ahead. We are convinced that there is still a lot of potential in her and that she will develop into a wonderful companion. Once a positive pre-adoption check has been completed, Lene may travel to her new home neurutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport, for a adoption fee of 495 euros.

Lene stammt aus einem öffentlichen Tierheim in Rumänien, in dem immer wieder Hunde auf der Liste zur Euthanasie stehen. Als kleine Hündin hatte sie es dort zwischen den anderen Hunden besonders schwer und war eingeschüchtert. Wir haben sie dort herausgeholt und inzwischen lebt sie auf einer rumänischen Pflegestelle. Hier zeigt Lene, was für eine wunderbare Hündin sie ist. Sie begegnet Menschen offen und freundlich, sucht gerne ihre Nähe und genießt ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten. Sanft, lieb und mit ihrer witzigen Art macht sie uns jeden Tag Freude. Auch mit allen anderen Hunden auf ihrer Pflegestelle kommt sie prima zurecht. Die ersten Versuche an der Leine liefen bereits gut. Natürlich braucht sie dabei noch Übung, aber sie lässt sich gut anleiten. Auf Umweltreize und Geräusche reagierte Lene bislang nicht schreckhaft. Vieles, was für uns zum Alltag gehört, kennt Lene bislang noch nicht. In ihrem neuen Zuhause wird sie deshalb Zeit brauchen, um anzukommen, neue Situationen kennenzulernen und die Regeln des Zusammenlebens zu verstehen. Ihre freundliche und offene Art ist eine schöne Voraussetzung dafür. Trotzdem braucht sie Menschen, die keine Perfektion erwarten und sie mit Geduld, Verständnis und klarer Anleitung beim Lernen begleiten. Für Lene wünschen wir uns umsichtige Menschen, die ihr ein schönes Zuhause schenken und ihre Sicherheit zuverlässig im Blick behalten. Denn Lene ist auf ihrer Pflegestelle bereits über den Zaun geklettert. Ein eingezäunter Garten allein reicht deshalb nicht aus, um sie sicher unterzubringen. Sie darf dort nicht unbeaufsichtigt bleiben. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen müssen sich dessen bewusst sein und auch im Alltag auf eine gute Sicherung achten. Lene bringt so vieles mit, was man sich von einer Begleiterin wünscht. Sie ist menschenbezogen, verträglich, verschmust und einfach eine liebenswerte kleine Persönlichkeit. Für uns ist sie eine echte Traumhündin, die Menschen verdient, die sie fördern, ihr Sicherheit geben und ihr ein gutes Leben bieten. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Lene kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in ihr neues Zuhause reisen.

About Lene

What life with Lene looks like

Lene is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lene, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lene?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Lene on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lene if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Lene, what they require (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 Lene already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Lene as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lene isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lene 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.
