How do I contact the shelter about Riva?

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

Can I adopt Riva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Riva 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 Riva 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Riva 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.

Riva

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Riva is a young female dog who has retained her cheerful and friendly character despite her past. She and her sister were taken from the public shelter in Zalău and moved to the shelter in Fantanele. There, she is now safe and waiting to finally meet the people who will be her forever home. The pretty dog is very people-oriented and greets everyone kindly and openly. She seeks contact with her caregivers, enjoys attention and thoroughly enjoys petting. With her lovable nature, it is easy to fall in love with her immediately. Riva is about 1.5 years old and has a shoulder height of about 60 cm. Riva gets along well with other dogs and is social and uncomplicated in dealing with them. Whether she can live with cats has not yet been tested. Riva is still at the beginning of her life and wants to experience everything that belongs to a happy dog life together with her humans. Walks, exciting trips, new impressions and many shared experiences would certainly bring her great joy. At the same time, she needs people who show her with patience and loving consistency how life in a family works. Of course, Riva still has a lot to learn. The rules of everyday life, relaxed walking on a leash, staying alone and the most important basic commands will be new to her at first. With time, understanding and empathetic upbringing, however, she will develop step by step into a loyal companion. We are looking for people who will give Riva a safe home and give her the opportunity to arrive at her own pace. She should experience how beautiful a life full of security, love and trust can be. Riva is already spayed and can travel to her new home. Of course, she is vaccinated, chipped and has an EU pet passport. After a positive pre-check and against a deposit, she will be placed. Who would like to give the friendly Riva the chance for a new beginning and show her that she has finally arrived? She is waiting to meet her family for life. Thank you Andrea H.! You gave Riva her name! Status: 23.08.2026 Further information on the topic of pre-check and deposit

Riva ist eine junge Hündin, die trotz ihrer Vergangenheit ihren fröhlichen und freundlichen Charakter bewahrt hat. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester wurde sie aus dem öffentlichen Shelter in Zalău übernommen und durfte in das Shelter nach Fantanele ziehen. Dort ist sie nun in Sicherheit und wartet darauf, endlich die Menschen kennenzulernen, bei denen sie für immer ankommen darf. Die hübsche Hündin zeigt sich ausgesprochen menschenbezogen und begegnet jedem freundlich und offen. Sie sucht den Kontakt zu ihren Bezugspersonen, freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit und genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr. Mit ihrer liebenswerten Art fällt es leicht, sie sofort ins Herz zu schließen. Riva ist etwa 1,5 Jahre alt und hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 60 cm. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Riva gut und zeigt sich im Umgang mit ihnen sozial und unkompliziert. Ob sie mit Katzen zusammenleben kann, konnte bislang noch nicht getestet werden. Riva befindet sich noch am Anfang ihres Lebens und möchte gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen alles kennenlernen, was zu einem glücklichen Hundeleben dazugehört. Spaziergänge, spannende Ausflüge, neue Eindrücke und viele gemeinsame Erlebnisse würden ihr sicherlich große Freude bereiten. Gleichzeitig braucht sie Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie das Leben in einer Familie funktioniert. Natürlich muss Riva noch einiges lernen. Die Regeln des Alltags, das entspannte Laufen an der Leine, das Alleinebleiben und die wichtigsten Grundkommandos werden für sie zunächst neu sein. Mit Zeit, Verständnis und einer einfühlsamen Erziehung wird sie sich jedoch Schritt für Schritt zu einer treuen Begleiterin entwickeln. Für Riva wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr ein sicheres Zuhause schenken und ihr die Möglichkeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Sie soll erfahren dürfen, wie schön ein Leben voller Geborgenheit, Liebe und Vertrauen sein kann. Riva ist bereits kastriert und kann in ihr neues Zuhause reisen. Selbstverständlich ist sie geimpft, gechipt und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr wird sie vermittelt. Wer möchte der freundlichen Riva die Chance auf einen Neuanfang schenken und ihr zeigen, dass sie endlich angekommen ist? Sie wartet darauf, ihre Familie fürs Leben kennenzulernen. Vielen Dank Andrea H.! Du hast Riva ihren Namen geschenkt! Stand: 23.08.2026 Weitere Informationen zum Thema Vorkontrolle und Schutzgebühr

About Riva

What life with Riva looks like

Riva is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
