Ray

Brittany Spaniel · Male · Adult · 4 years

Ray, a member of a dog family we rescued from the Perrera ResurJA Linares, is a poor little guy who really just needs love, affection, and care, but he also has the problem that he doesn't trust people and initially turns them away. Ray prefers to stay indoors in the shaded shelter rather than outside on the grounds, but he feels safe and comfortable in a dog group. The advantage is that Ray is curious, which means that if someone is really patient and takes care of him, he will eventually let go of his initial fear of humans. The trick is the balanced measure of "patience and leaving him alone" until he feels safe and starts to explore his new people and surroundings on his own. Ray should be placed in a quiet home with quiet people with a steady routine. Dog experience and first dog should definitely be present. We hope that a lonely dog like Ray, who will develop his qualities later, will find a loving home. If you would like to give Ray a caring home, please send your completed self-assessment to Ray is about 43 cm tall and weighs about 9 kg. The deposit is €500.

Ray, Mitglied einer Hundefamilie, die wir aus der Perrera ResurJA Linares retten konnten, ist ein armes Würstchen, das eigentlich nur Liebe, Zuneigung und Versorgung braucht, aber, er hat auch das Problem, dass er Menschen nicht vertraut und sich von daher zunächst abwendet. Ray hält sich lieber drinnen in der schattigen Unterkunft auf, als draußen auf dem Gelände, fühlt sich aber in einer Hundegruppe wohl und sicher. Der Vorteil ist, Ray ist neugierig, das heißt, es wird später einmal möglich sein, wenn sich jemand wirklich geduldig mit ihm abgibt und sich um ihn bemüht, dass er seine anfängliche Scheu vor uns Menschen ablegt. Der Trick ist das ausgewogene Maß an „Geduld und in Ruhe lassen“, bis er sich sicher fühlt und von selber anfängt, seine neuen Menschen und Umgebung zu erkunden. Ray sollte in ein ruhiges Zuhause mit ruhigen Menschen mit fester Routine vermittelt werden. Hundeerfahrung und Ersthund sollten auf jeden Fall vorhanden sein. Wir hoffen, dass auch ein in sich einsamer Hund wie Ray, der seine Qualitäten erst später entwickeln wird, ein liebendes Zuhause findet. Möchten Sie Ray ein fürsorgliches Zuhause geben, dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an Ray ist ca. 43 cm groß und wiegt ca. 9 kg. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 500€.

About Ray

What life with Ray looks like

Ray is a adult brittany spaniel dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien 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. 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 Ray, answered.

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