Raphael

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Raphael, born approximately 2021, neutered, approximately 45 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 05/2021. The sweet Golden Retriever Raphael has been in the shelter since he was a puppy and was rescued from euthanasia. His siblings were able to move into their own homes a long time ago, but he is still waiting patiently. He is a friendly male. Initially a bit anxious, curiosity usually wins out and he jumps over his shadow. In a new home, he will certainly warm up quickly and would probably be suitable for sports activities. He gets along very well with all the dogs in the shelter. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

09/2026 04/2023 Raphael, geboren ca. 2021, kastriert, ca. 45 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 05/2021 Der süße Goldengel Raphael ist seit Welpe an im Shelter und wurde aus der Tötung gerettet. Seine Geschwister durften schon vor langem in ein eigenes Zuhause ziehen, nur er wartet immer noch geduldig. Er ist ein freundlicher Rüde. Anfangs etwas ängstlich, dann siegt aber meist schnell die Neugierde und er springt über seinen Schatten. In einem neuen Zuhause taut er sicherlich schnell auf und wäre bestimmt auch für sportliche Aktivitäten zu haben. Mit allen Hunden im Shelter versteht er sich sehr gut. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Raphael

What life with Raphael looks like

Raphael is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Raphael, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Raphael?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Raphael on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Raphael if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Raphael 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 Raphael 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Raphael 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.
