Lina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Lina, born in January 2024, is a delicate young female dog who wins hearts immediately with her quiet nature. At 43 cm, she has a manageable size, and she is consistently friendly and good-natured with other dogs. In her familiar surroundings she opens up slowly, seeks closeness, and shows how much gentleness she has inside her. With unfamiliar people, however, Lina is still very shy. She watches first, keeps her distance, and needs time to understand that no one intends her any harm. That is exactly why we are hoping for an experienced home or a calm foster placement where she can arrive without pressure. People who give her security, offer clear structure, and do not crowd her will see Lina gain trust step by step and develop into a loving companion. Lina is a dog for hearts that have patience. She is for people who enjoy giving a cautious young female dog stability and watching her develop. In a calm environment, ideally with a confident first dog, she will blossom and show how much warmth and loyalty she has to give. Lina is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-adoption check. General note about our dogs: Our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can reassess their behavior and development again and again. These personal impressions help us greatly in conveying as accurate a picture as possible of each individual dog. However, we would like to point out that a dog in a new environment – with new people, new routines, and new impressions – may show a different side of itself. This is completely normal and is part of any process of change. Many dogs open up even faster at home and show sides of themselves that were not visible at the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but they are not a guarantee of any particular behavior in a new setting. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter – and what potential lies within it. We are convinced that with patience, understanding, and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Lina, geboren im Januar 2024, ist ein zartes Hundemädchen, das mit ihrem stillen Wesen sofort berührt. Mit ihren 43 cm bringt sie eine handliche Größe mit und zeigt sich im Umgang mit anderen Hunden durchweg freundlich und verträglich. In ihrer vertrauten Umgebung öffnet sie sich langsam, sucht Nähe und zeigt, wie viel Sanftheit in ihr steckt.Bei fremden Menschen jedoch ist Lina noch sehr schüchtern. Sie beobachtet erst, hält Abstand und braucht Zeit, um zu verstehen, dass ihr niemand etwas Böses will. Genau deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein erfahrenes Zuhause oder eine ruhige Pflegestelle, in der sie ohne Druck ankommen darf. Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit geben, klare Strukturen bieten und sie nicht bedrängen, werden erleben, wie Lina Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fasst und sich zu einer liebevollen Begleiterin entwickelt.Lina ist ein Hund für Herzen, die Geduld haben. Für Menschen, die Freude daran finden, einer vorsichtigen Junghündin Halt zu geben und seine Entwicklung mitzuerleben. In einem ruhigen Umfeld, gerne mit einem souveränen Ersthund, wird sie aufblühen und zeigen, wie viel Wärme und Treue in ihr steckt.Lina ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Lina

What life with Lina looks like

Lina is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lina, answered.

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