Marge & Lisa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Marge and Lisa, born approximately 2020, approximately 65-70 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 01/2022. Marge and Lisa were rescued with their brother Jim from the public animal shelter Scornicești. While Jim is very people-oriented, super friendly, and even leash-trainable, Marge and Lisa are unfortunately very shy and anxious. The two gentle sisters are inseparable. They rely heavily on each other and give each other security. One of them is curious and observes everything very carefully - but as soon as someone gets too close, both retreat. They have not been touched so far. In the shelter, Marge and Lisa have arranged themselves with their daily routine - too much. They have resigned, withdrawn, slept a lot, and eaten. They lack movement completely. Over the years, they have become severely overweight as a result. They are now so fat that it is visibly difficult for them to walk. They urgently need motivation, structure, and above all people who promote them lovingly, but consistently - step by step, day by day. A diet or targeted promotion is unfortunately hardly possible in the stressful shelter routine. What they need is a quiet place - perhaps a farm, a rural home or a place with a lot of space, where they can simply be dogs. Without pressure, without expectations. Due to their close bond, Marge and Lisa cannot be separated. Brother Jim also belongs to them - that's why we are looking for a shared home for all three with heavy hearts. Here you can find Jim's profile: Jim. The siblings are likely to be livestock guardian dogs or their hybrids, so it is possible that they will develop or show corresponding characteristics in a new home. Their future people should have experience with livestock guardian dogs and appreciate their peculiarities. We wish for them a home with empathetic and experienced people who show them what a good dog life is in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay if they never want to go for a walk or cuddle like normal dogs. Maybe they will be good for one or the other positive surprise. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. Since they have only poor chances of placement, we would be very happy if someone would take a sponsorship for them. Currently still in Romania and may leave if a home has been found, chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies + basic vaccination) All dogs are dewormed and de-flead at least annually at their arrival at the shelter and thereafter. Neutered The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

01/2026 Futterpatenschaft: - Tierarztpatenschaft: - Futterpatenschaft: - Tierarztpatenschaft: - Marge und Lisa, geboren ca. 2020, ca. 65-70 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 01/2022 Marge und Lisa wurden gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder Jim aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim Scornicești gerettet. Während Jim sehr menschenbezogen, super freundlich und sogar leinenführig ist, sind Marge und Lisa leider sehr scheu und ängstlich. Die beiden sanften Schwestern sind unzertrennlich. Sie orientieren sich stark aneinander und geben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Eine von ihnen ist neugierig und beobachtet alles ganz genau – doch sobald man ihnen zu nahe kommt, ziehen sich beide zurück. Anfassen lassen sie sich bisher nicht. Im Shelter haben sich Marge und Lisa mit ihrem Alltag arrangiert – zu sehr. Sie haben resigniert, ziehen sich zurück, schlafen viel und fressen. Bewegung fehlt ihnen komplett. Über die Jahre sind sie dadurch stark übergewichtig geworden. Inzwischen sind sie so dick, dass ihnen das Laufen sichtbar schwerfällt. Sie bräuchten dringend Motivation, Struktur und vor allem Menschen, die sie liebevoll, aber konsequent fördern – Schritt für Schritt, Tag für Tag. Eine Diät oder gezielte Förderung ist im stressigen Shelteralltag leider kaum möglich. Was sie brauchen, ist ein ruhiger Ort – vielleicht ein Hof, ein ländliches Zuhause oder ein Platz mit viel Raum, wo sie einfach Hund sein dürfen. Ohne Druck, ohne Erwartungen. Aufgrund ihrer engen Bindung können Marge und Lisa nicht getrennt werden. Auch Bruder Jim gehört zu ihnen – deshalb suchen wir schweren Herzens ein gemeinsames Zuhause für alle drei. Hier geht es zu Jims Profil: Jim Bei den Geschwistern handelt es sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit um Herdenschutzhunde oder deren Mischlinge, daher kann es sein, dass sie in einem neuen Zuhause entsprechende Eigenschaften entwickeln oder zeigen. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten Erfahrung mit Herdenschutzhunden haben und deren Eigenheiten zu schätzen wissen. 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. Da sie nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen haben, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für sie übernimmt. aktuell noch in Rumänien und dürfen ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden haben gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut + Grundimmunisierung) Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter und danach mindestens jährlich entwurmt und entfloht. kastriert Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt.

About Marge & Lisa

What life with Marge & Lisa looks like

Marge & Lisa 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 Marge & Lisa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marge & Lisa?
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 Marge & Lisa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marge & Lisa 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 Marge & Lisa 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 Marge & Lisa 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 Marge & Lisa 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.
