Minnie

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Temperament: friendly Minnie has absolutely no idea what love is. Having been rescued from a puppy mill and being 10 years old, it is likely that she was only ever used to breed puppues and barely saw the outside of her pen before coming to us. Our team have been working with Minnie to help her understand how to be loved and she is gently coming out of her shell and although completely unsure what to do, is learning to accept love. We expect her to be very shy in her new home and her family will need to work alongside Minnie to build her confidence and teach her about the world. We are desperate to give Minnie the opportunity to feel the warmth of a loving family and a home that will give her the safe sanctuary she has never felt before. She could also live with a small and friendly resident dog or cat. Observations: does not know how to love Preferences: a family to teach her how to love Available adoption in: UK, Sweden

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ROLDA in Galati.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇷🇴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 Minnie, answered.

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