Ronja

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Ronja is a female medium-sized dog. On Christmas Day, an elderly man came to our shelter and told us he had been hearing dog howls behind his garden for several days. However, due to his poor mobility, he couldn't walk all the way to his garden to investigate. The garden borders on a stream. When our caretaker arrived at the scene, she saw the mother dog with some puppies sitting by the stream. Three dead puppies were also lying on the stream bank. She went along the stream with food and a transport box while her husband waited in the man's garden with a large box. She first put the mother dog into the box, which was no problem. Then the puppies came to her, and she could lift them up individually and give them to her husband over the fence. They are now at our shelter. The mother is very friendly and obviously used to people. It's likely that she was abandoned because she got pregnant 😞 The little ones can travel by the end of February, then they will be old enough, have all necessary vaccinations and microchips. They are regularly dewormed and treated for pests.

Name: Ronja Geschlecht: weiblich Geb: 11/25 Größe: mittelgroße Ein älterer Mann kam am ersten Weihnachtsfeiertag bei unserer Tierschützerin vorbei und erzählte, er höre seit einigen Tagen Hundegeheul hinter seinem Garten. Da er aber schlecht zu Fuß ist, konnte er nicht bis zum Ende seines Gartens gehen, um nachzusehen. Der Garten grenzt an einen Bach. Als unsere Tierschützerin dort ankam, sah sie die Mutterhündin mit einigen Welpen sitzen. Am Bachufer lagen außerdem drei tote Welpen. Sie ging mit Futter und einer Transportbox zum Bach entlang, während ihr Mann mit einer großen Box im Garten des Mannes wartete. Sie setzte zuerst die Mutterhündin in die Box, was problemlos klappte. Danach kamen die Welpen zu ihr, und sie konnte sie einzeln hochheben und ihrem Mann über den Zaun geben. Sie sind jetzt bei unserer Tierschützerin Zuhause. Die Mutter ist sehr lieb und offensichtlich Menschen gewöhnt. Wahrscheinlich hat man sie ausgesetzt weil sie schwanger wurde 😞 Die kleinen können Ende Februar ausreisen, dann sind sie alt genug, haben alle nötigen Impfungen und wurden gechipt. Sie werden regelmäßig entwurmt und gegen Ungeziefer behandelt.

About Ronja

What life with Ronja looks like

Ronja is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ronja, answered.

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