Proud

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Proud never seeks the spotlight, but still enjoys being close. If Proud would only come a little closer and let himself be petted... March 2021 July 2020 Proud (standing) and his girlfriend Pretty were picked up in Ditrau in the spring, allegedly they were chased away for fear of possible infection with the Covid19 virus by the dogs. Both dogs were very upset and only sat trembling and growling under a dog house for a long time. Who knows what they had been through... Therefore, both are still very suspicious. Touching is out of the question, although the girl Pretty is already very curious about us humans. Proud is much more reserved, but he also keeps "inspecting" us from a safe distance. This male has a fascinating and funny double-curled tail. That, and his proud demeanor, makes him a special canine beauty. Let's hope he can soon summon his courage and get to know the good things in life.

Mai 2023 Proud drängt sich nie in den Mittelpunkt, ist aber trotzdem gerne in der Nähe. Wenn sich Proud jetzt noch das letzte Stückchen heranwagen und sich kraulen lassen würde… März 2021 Juli 2020 Proud (stehend) und seine Freundin Pretty wurden im Frühjahr in Ditrau aufgegriffen, angeblich hatte man sie verjagt aus Angst vor einer möglichen Ansteckung mit dem Covid19-Virus durch die Hunde. Beide Hunden waren sehr verstört und haben lange Zeit nur zitternd und knurrend unter einer Hundehütte gesessen. Wer weiss, was man ihnen angetan hatte … Daher sind beide noch sehr misstrauisch. Anfassen geht gar nicht, obwohl das Mädchen Pretty schon sehr neugierig auf uns Menschen ist. Proud ist wesentlich zurückhaltender, aber auch er hat uns immer wieder aus sicherer Distanz “besichtigt”. Dieser Rüde hat eine faszinierende und lustige doppelt gekringelte Rute. Das, aber auch sein stolzes Auftreten macht ihn zu einer besonderen Hundeschönheit. Hoffen wir, dass er bald seinen Mut zusammen nehmen kann und so die schönen Seiten des Lebens kennen lernt.

About Proud

What life with Proud looks like

Proud is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Initiative Karpatenstreuner e.V. in Romania.

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 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 Proud, answered.

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