How do I contact the shelter about Ria?

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 Ria on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ria 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Ria 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 Ria 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 Ria 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.

Ria

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Ria, born approximately 2022, spayed, approximately 55cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 04/2024 The beautiful Ria was rescued from one of the public animal shelters. Unfortunately, she is very shy and constantly on the run from humans. We do not know what she has already experienced, but what remains from it is her fear. Since there is rarely time for individual dogs in the shelter, she has not been able to collect many positive experiences so far, which she would urgently need. We wish her a home with empathetic and experienced people who can show her what a good dog life is like in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay in her new home if she never wants to go for a walk or cuddle like a normal dog. Maybe she will be good for one or the other positive surprise. At least a confident first dog, as well as a securely fenced garden with direct access to the house are basic requirements. Since Ria has only poor placement chances, we would be very happy if someone takes a sponsorship for her. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel out 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:

05/2024 Futterpatenschaft: - Tierarztpatenschaft: - Ria, geboren ca. 2022, kastriert, ca. 55cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 04/2024 Die hübsche Ria wurde aus einem der öffentlichen Tierheime gerettet. Leider ist sie sehr scheu und ständig auf der Flucht vor dem Menschen. Wir wissen nicht, was sie bereits erlebt hat, aber geblieben ist ihr davon die Angst. Da im Shelter nur selten Zeit für einzelne Hunde ist, hat sie bisher wenig positive Erfahrungen sammeln dürfen, die sie so dringend bräuchte. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihr in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte in ihrem neuen Zuhause okay sein, wenn sie nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist sie dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Mindestens ein souveräner Ersthund, sowie ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus sind Grundvoraussetzungen. Da Ria nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen hat, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für sie übernimmt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie 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 Ria

What life with Ria looks like

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