How do I contact the shelter about Ralfica?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ralfica on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ralfica if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Ralfica 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 Ralfica 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ralfica 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.

Ralfica

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Ralfica – Not perfect. Not extraordinary. But just RIGHT! → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 10/2023 → Size / Weight: 60 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description Eleven siblings – and they all look the same! When you meet Ralfica for the first time, you immediately notice: she is part of a very special "sibling bond." Even as a little baby, she came to the shelter with her large family. A lively bunch that made it clear right away: we belong together. But despite the strong bonds, it's now time for Ralfica to go her own way. And hopefully, this path leads directly to her own family. Ralfica is a medium-sized female dog with beautiful black and brown markings. She has an open heart for people, gets along well with fellow animals, and is full of curiosity about what else awaits her out there. It’s clear from her appearance: she has the build and energy to become a great companion for active people – whether it's on walks, hikes, or playing. Of course, she still has a lot to learn about life in her new home. So far, she knows very little – from the basic dog ABC to big adventures. But with patience, humor, and a clear "welcome, you can feel at home here," she will develop quickly. Ralfica is not a dog who immediately pushes herself to the forefront.

Ralfica – Nicht perfekt. Nicht außergewöhnlich. Aber genau RICHTIG! → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 10/2023 → Grösse / Gewicht: 60 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Elf Geschwister – und alle sehen gleich aus! Wer Ralfica zum ersten Mal begegnet, merkt sofort: sie ist Teil einer ganz besonderen „Geschwisterbande“. Schon als kleines Baby kam sie mit ihrer Großfamilie in die Pension. Ein quirliger Haufen, der sofort klar machte: wir gehören zusammen. Doch so eng die Bande auch war – jetzt ist es Zeit für Ralfica, ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen. Und der führt hoffentlich direkt zu ihrer eigenen Familie. Ralfica ist eine mittelgroße Hündin mit wunderschöner schwarz-brauner Zeichnung. Sie hat ein offenes Herz für Menschen, versteht sich gut mit Artgenossen und steckt voller Neugier auf das, was da draußen noch alles auf sie wartet. Man sieht ihr an: sie bringt den Körperbau und die Energie mit, um einmal eine tolle Begleiterin für aktive Menschen zu werden – sei es bei Spaziergängen, Wanderungen oder beim Spielen. Natürlich muss sie das Leben im neuen Zuhause erst lernen. Bisher kennt sie vieles noch nicht – vom kleinen Hunde-ABC bis zu großen Abenteuern. Aber mit Geduld, Humor und einem klaren „Willkommen, du darfst hier ankommen“ wird sie sich schnell entwickeln. Ralfica ist kein Hund, der sich sofort in den Vordergrund drängt. Sie ist

About Ralfica

What life with Ralfica looks like

Ralfica is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
