Lily

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

A little hard to believe, but sweet Lily is still at the shelter. She longs so much for her own people, she's friendly and loving. She enjoys our cuddle sessions and doesn't want to let us go. Who has a big heart for a little black dog? September 2021 Lily is a petite (approx. 40cm), rather unassuming dog. She came to the shelter in early September. Compared to her kennel sisters Valli and Vanillie, she is much calmer at 2-3 years old. When we met her at the end of September, she was in heat and a bit grumpy towards other dogs. She will be spayed as soon as possible. She is definitely already people-oriented and is always friendly when it comes to being petted. Probably that was her strategy to get good food on the street.

Mai 2024 Kaum zu glauben, aber die liebe Lily sitzt immer noch im Tierheim. Sie sehnt sich so sehr nach eigenen Menschen, ist freundlich und lieb. Unsere Kuscheleinheiten genießt sie, möchte uns gar nicht mehr weglassen. Wer hat ein großes Herz für eine kleine schwarze Hündin? September 2021 Lily ist eine zierliche (ca. 40cm), recht unscheinbare Hündin. Sie kam Anfang September ins Tierheim. Im Vergleich mit ihren Zwingerschwestern Valli und Vanillie ist sie mit ihren 2-3 Jahren wesentlich ruhiger. Als wir sie Ende September kennengelernt haben, war sie gerade läufig und etwas zickig den anderen Hunden gegenüber. Sobald es möglich ist, wird sie kastriert. Sie ist auf jeden Fall bereits menschenbezogen und ist immer freundlich angekommen, um gestreichelt zu werden. Vermutlich war das ihre Strategie, um auf der Straße an gutes Futter zu kommen.

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Initiative Karpatenstreuner e.V. in Romania.

An 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 Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lily, answered.

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