Ronald

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Ronald, born circa 2016, neutered, approximately 55 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 2021 Ronald comes from one of Romania's public animal shelters. We do not know what he experienced there, but he has retained a fear of people from that time. Since his arrival at Maria's, he has made progress and now allows himself to be handled cautiously. But the journey is still long and Ronald needs someone to take him by the paw. He is one of the dogs that psychologically breaks down slowly because they have simply been exposed to the weather and constant noise for too long. Ronald is a great guy with a lot of potential. We are looking for a understanding home for him that does not set any expectations and lets him set the pace. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave 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 at 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:

08/2024 Ronald, geboren ca. 2016, kastriert, ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2021 Ronald kommt aus einem der öffentlichen Tierheime Rumäniens. Wir wissen nicht was er dort erlebt hat, doch geblieben ist ihm aus dieser Zeit die Angst vor Menschen. Seit seiner Ankunft bei Maria macht er Fortschritte und lässt sich mittlerweile sogar vorsichtig anfassen. Doch der Weg ist noch weit und Ronald braucht jemanden, der ihn dabei an die Pfote nimmt. Er gehört zu den Hunden die seelisch langsam abbauen weil sie einfach schon viel zu lange dem Wetter und der permanenten Lautstärke ausgesetzt sind. Ronald ist ein toller Kerl mit viel Potential. Für ihn suchen wir ein verständnisvolles Zuhause das keinerlei Erwartungen stellt und ihn das Tempo bestimmen lässt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er 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 Ronald

What life with Ronald looks like

Ronald is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future 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 Ronald, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ronald?: 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 Ronald on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ronald 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ronald 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 Ronald 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 Ronald 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.
