Romy *ca. 2011

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 15 years

Romy, the little one, is sponsored by: Name and vaccination sponsor (f.) 2024: Gabi L. Vaccination sponsor 2025: Christiane U. Vaccination sponsor 2026: anonymous Update: September 2025 Little Romy, about 38 cm tall, has settled in very well. She has become affectionate in the meantime and lets herself be touched. Together with 4 other oldies, she is allowed to live in a small outdoor run and does not have to be kept in a kennel. Her story: Aurelia, an acquaintance of Marilena, provided a refuge for many, many street dogs on an abandoned factory site, where he was also allowed to live. He received no support from "associations," let alone from the city. By begging at grocery stores, from farmers, or from private animal-loving people, using his own money, and cooking for himself, he was able to keep the animals alive. But at least they had a place of refuge and no longer had to live on the streets, where dog catchers would pick them up and bring them to kill shelters. Now, however, their fate is sealed: they will have to return to the streets unless they find other accommodation, or the city or the new buyer will send the dog catchers. Aurelia cannot take the dogs with him to his new city apartment, where he unfortunately has to move. Aurelia is devastated and hopes so much that "his" dogs will not be taken to be killed, and he asked several shelters for help, ones that would take some of the dogs so they would not be sent to be killed. In this way, 7 little souls found another place of refuge at the Happy Paws Moreni shelter.

Unterstützt wird die kleine Romy von: Namenspatin und Impfpatin f. 2024: Gabi L. Impfpatin 2025: Christiane U. Impfpatin 2026: anonym Update: September 2025 Die kleine ca. 38 cm hohe Romy hat sich sehr gut eingelebt. Sie ist mittlerweile zutraulich geworden und lässt sich auch anfassen. Mit 4 anderen Oldies darf sie auf einem kleinen Auslauf leben und muss nicht in einen Kennel. Ihre Geschichte: Aurelia, ein Bekannter von Marilena, gab vielen, vielen Straßenhunden auf einem verlassenen Fabrikgelände, wo er auch leben / wohnen durfte, einen Zufluchtsort. Er hatte keine Unterstützung von „Vereinen, geschweige von der Stadt. Durch, betteln bei Lebensmittelhändlern, Bauern oder von privaten tierlieben Leuten, sein eigenes Geld und selbstkochen hatte er die Tiere durchbringen können. Aber wenigstens hatten sie einen Zufluchtsort und mussten nicht mehr auf den Straßen leben. Wo sie von Hundefängern eingefangen und in die Tötungsshelter gebracht werden. Doch nun ist ihr Schicksal besiegelt wieder auf die Straße zu müssen wenn sie keine andere Unterbringung finden. Oder die Stadt bzw. der neue Käufer schickt die Hundefänger. Aurelia kann die Hunde nicht mit in seine neue Stadtwohnung nehmen, wo er leider hinziehen muss. Aurelia ist am Boden zerstört und hofft so sehr, das „seine“ Hunde nicht in die Tötung gebracht werden und er bat einige Shelter um Hilfe, die einige Hunde aufnehmen würden und sie nicht in die Tötung gebracht werden. So fanden 7 Seelchen einen weiteren Zufluchtsort im Shelter Happy Paws Moreni.

About Romy *ca. 2011

What life with Romy *ca. 2011 looks like

Romy *ca. 2011 is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Strays United e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Romy *ca. 2011, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Romy *ca. 2011?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Strays United e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Romy *ca. 2011 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Romy *ca. 2011 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Strays United 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 Romy *ca. 2011 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 Romy *ca. 2011 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 Strays United e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Romy *ca. 2011 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.
