How do I contact the shelter about Olivia?

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 Olivia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Olivia 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Olivia 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 Olivia 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 Olivia 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.

Olivia

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Olivia, born 2016 and approximately 59 cm tall, is one of the dogs that particularly touches our hearts. When we first saw her among the "170 Abandoned", she was in a really bad condition. She immediately went to the clinic - and has bravely fought her way back to life. Today, Olivia is a friendly, open-minded dog who enjoys the company of people once she has gained their trust. She knows the leash and moves confidently on it.The shelter manager describes her as follows: "Olivia gets along with other dogs, a very good and calm dog, with humans she is distant at first but she is ok, she is not aggressive."She also shows compatibility with other dogs and a cat test is available. We very much wish for a foster home or a home for her where she can finally arrive properly - we believe she will quickly develop into a loyal companion for life.The Romanian summers are very hot and the winters very harsh - not good conditions for a dog of her age. Olivia should therefore be allowed to leave as soon as possible!Olivia will be vaccinated, chipped and spayed after a positive pre-check and will be placed through the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e. V.

Olivia, geboren 2016 und ca. 59 cm groß, gehört zu den Hunden, die uns besonders berühren. Als wir sie bei der ersten Sichtung der „170 Verlassenen“ fanden, war sie in einem wirklich schlechten Zustand. Sie kam sofort in die Klinik – und hat sich tapfer zurück ins Leben gekämpft.Heute ist Olivia eine freundliche, aufgeschlossene Hündin, die die Nähe zu Menschen sehr genießt, wenn sie erstmal Vertrauen hat. Sie kennt die Leine und bewegt sich sicher an ihr.Die Shelterbetreiberin bezeichnet sie wie folgt: “Olivia is ok with other dogs, a very good and calm dog, with humans she is distant at first but she is ok she is not aggressive.”Auch mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich kompatibel und auch ein Katzentest ist vorhanden. Wir wünschen uns so sehr eine Pflegestelle oder ein Zuhause für sie, in dem sie noch ein letztes Mal richtig ankommen darf – wir glauben, sie wird sich schnell zu einer treuen Begleiterin fürs Leben entwickeln.Die rumänischen Sommer sind sehr heiß und die Winter sehr hart - für einen Hund ihres Alters keine guten Bedingungen. Olivia sollte daher so schnell wie möglich ausreisen dürfen!Olivia wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft, gechippt und kastriert über den Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e. V. vermittelt.

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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 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.
