Penny

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Penny, a female mixed breed dog, approximately 2.5 years old and 35cm tall, was spayed and moved to the Buftea animal shelter in Romania. Her background is unknown. We are seeking a foster or permanent home to provide her with a secure future. Penny is currently shy and cautious, especially around strangers, but she seeks contact and is visible when seeing familiar people. She avoids direct touch but does not react aggressively. Instead, she tries to escape the situation by jumping, running in circles, or attempting to play.

Herkunftsort: Buftea, Rumänien Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geb. Datum: ca. ca. 27.10.2023 Schulterhöhe: ca. 35cm Penny konnte nach einer Kastrationsaktion beim Tierarzt in das Tierheim von Buftea umziehen - daher ist über ihr vorheriges Leben nichts bekannt. Wir suchen nach einer Pflege- oder Endstelle, um ihr die Möglichkeit auf eine sichere Zukunft zu geben. Penny ist ca. 2,5 Jahre alt und hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 350cm. Hier die Beschreibung der Tierschützer aus Rumänien: „Penny zeigt sich aktuell noch als schüchterne und vorsichtige Hündin, besonders fremden Menschen gegenüber. Auch bei vertrauten Personen lässt sie sich nur ungern anfassen. Gleichzeitig merkt man aber, dass sie Kontakt eigentlich möchte. Sie freut sich sichtbar, wenn sie vertraute Menschen sieht, scheint jedoch noch Angst vor direkter Berührung zu haben. Anstatt aggressiv zu reagieren, versucht Penny eher, dem Kontakt auszuweichen. Dabei springt sie herum, läuft albern im Kreis oder versu

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Casa Animalis 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 Penny, answered.

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