How do I contact the shelter about Roma?

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

Can I adopt Roma if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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 Roma 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 Roma 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roma 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.

Adopt Roma

German Shepherd · Female

Test for Mediterranean diseases: Yes, positive for leishmaniasis. I am a smart, loyal female German Shepherd, typical for my breed. My past? Not exactly easy. I was rescued from a Perrera. This means: I have experienced things I would rather forget. But I am ready for a new chapter. Perhaps with you? People say I am very loving and still a bit scared or anxious inside. Yes, I admit, sometimes the world can be a bit loud and overwhelming for me. But with patience, understanding, and a safe home, I can really blossom. A routine blood test revealed that I have leishmaniasis, a condition that is very treatable with medication and the right diet. I get along well with other dogs (both male and female) and children. Whether I like cats is unfortunately still unknown. I travel calmly in the car and my energy level is moderate. I enjoy walks, but I am not a Duracell bunny. I hope to find someone who shows me that the world can be beautiful too. Someone who understands my insecurity and gives me a sense of safety. Upon entry, I will be vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and come with my EU pet passport. So... do you maybe have a dog bed free for me?

Test auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten: Ja, Leishmaniose positiv Ich bin eine kluge, loyale Schäferhündin, tpisch für meine Rasse. Meine Vergangenheit? Nicht ganz einfach. Ich wurde aus einer Perrera gerettet. Das bedeutet: Ich habe schon Dinge erlebt, die ich lieber vergessen würde. Aber ich bin bereit für ein neues Kapitel. Vielleicht mit dir? Man sagt über mich, dass ich sehr lieb sei und noch etwas Angst bzw. innere Unruhe hätte. Ja, ich gebe zu, manchmal ist die Welt für mich ein bisschen laut und überwältigend. Aber mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem sicheren Zuhause kann ich richtig aufblühen. Bei einer routinemäßigen Blutuntersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass ich Leishmaniose habe, eine Erkrankung, die mit Tabletten und einer entsprechenden Ernährung aber sehr gut behandelbar ist. Mit anderen Hunden (Rüden wie Hündinnen) sowie mit Kindern verstehe ich mich prima. Ob ich auch Katzen mag, weiß man leider noch nicht. Ich fahre entspannt im Auto mit und mein Energielevel ist mittel. Ich freue mich über Spaziergänge, aber ich bin kein Duracell-Hase. Ich wünsche mir jemanden, der mir zeigt, dass die Welt auch schön sein kann. Jemanden, der meine Unsicherheit versteht und mir Sicherheit gibt. Bei Einreise bin ich geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und habe meinen EU-Heimtierausweis dabei. Also… hast du vielleicht ein Körbchen für mich frei? 🐾

About Roma

What life with Roma looks like

Roma is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy 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.
