Rani

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Rani is a cautious female dog who has been at the shelter since June 2026. She was born around June 2025 and stands approximately 50-59 cm tall, weighing between 20-24 kg. You can watch her video profile here! Rani is a timid dog looking for trust. This furry friend comes from a killing station in Romania. Rani desperately stuck her nose through the bars trying to get to us. We explain how dogs end up there and more in our animal welfare FAQ. Rani has only recently arrived at the shelter and is still very cautious. She's curious but keeps her distance initially, carefully observing her surroundings. Occasionally she approaches cautiously and sniffs people curiously. At present, she cannot enjoy petting - when touched, she freezes and appears uncertain. Therefore, Rani needs patient people who give her time to build trust and come at her own pace. She gets along with other dogs and likes to orientate herself by them. A confident companion could help her gain more confidence. Our caregivers take the time to get to know each dog and assess it. When we learn more about this furry's character, we will update this profile. Of course, you can still fill out a self-disclosure for this dog. We are looking for a quiet home with understanding people who accompany her without pressure and show her how beautiful life in security can be. We wish for this furry people who are aware that animal shelter dogs bring a certain history. We at the shelter can never predict how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we look for people who have patience, perseverance and goodwill. But one thing is sure: Whoever adopts instead of buying not only gives an animal a second chance but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. In love yet? Send us your self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about adoption, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated and neutered before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than one year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, feel free to write our placement team a message.

Im Tierheim seit: Juni 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Juni 2025 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 50 – 59 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: ca. 20 – 24 kg Lerne hier Rani direkt im Video kennen! Vorsichtige Hündin Rani ist auf der Suche nach Vertrauen Diese Fellnase kommt aus einer Tötungsstation in Rumänien. Rani steckte verzweifelt ihre Nase durch das Gitter und versucht zu uns zu kommen. Wie die Hunde dorthin kommen und noch vieles mehr erklären wir in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Rani ist erst seit kurzer Zeit im Tierheim und zeigt sich aktuell noch sehr vorsichtig. Sie ist neugierig, hält aber zunächst Abstand und beobachtet ihre Umgebung genau. Zwischendurch kommt sie vorsichtig näher und schnuppert interessiert an den Menschen. Streicheleinheiten kann sie momentan noch nicht genießen – bei Berührungen friert sie ein und wirkt unsicher. Rani braucht daher geduldige Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich verträglich und orientiert sich gerne an ihnen. Ein souveräner Artgenosse könnte ihr dabei helfen, mehr Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Unsere Pfleger:innen nehmen sich Zeit, um jeden Hund kennenzulernen und einzuschätzen. Wenn wir mehr über den Charakter dieser Fellnase wissen, ergänzen wir dieses Profil. Natürlich kannst du trotzdem schon eine Selbstauskunft für diesen Hund ausfüllen. Für Rani suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause mit verständnisvollen Menschen, die sie ohne Druck begleiten und ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Leben in Geborgenheit sein kann. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Rani

What life with Rani looks like

Rani is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rani, answered.

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