How do I contact the shelter about Ronja?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not 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 — Vierbeiner in Not 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 Vierbeiner in Not 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.

Ronja

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Ronja (born 11/2020) has been in foster care in Germany since 06/20/2026 and is now learning to appreciate the simple joys of life. Long walks in nature, lying in the sun by the field, enjoying treats, being gently petted, and sniffing in the grass and fresh earth: Ronja is learning to enjoy these small things. She is overcoming her fears and bravely facing new challenges. Her trusting, inquiring gaze is particularly beautiful when she is uncertain in a situation. She increasingly seeks guidance from her humans, showing that she wants to build trust.Ronja came to Germany as a very fearful dog. In Romania, she had hardly ever left her safe hut. Although she allowed herself to be observed, photographed, and filmed, she preferred to stay in her protected retreat. Small progress was therefore something special. In February 2026, for example, there were the first full-body photos of her - a big step for the then still very reserved female dog.Today, Ronja is much further along. She enjoys going for walks, is curious about her surroundings, and can increasingly enjoy time with her humans. She is playful and social with her dog friends. A confident dog by her side can give her additional security. With the right people with dog experience, we can also imagine her as a single princess. Regular contact with other congeners should be ensured for social behavior (e.g. through joint walks with friendly neighbor dogs).We are looking for understanding and experienced people who will give Ronja the time she needs. She should not be rushed and needs people who recognize her uncertainty and give her security without building up pressure. Those who want to take this path with her can look forward to a very special development: the small steps that are huge for a formerly very fearful dog.Ronja is spayed and will be vaccinated, chipped, and placed with a protection contract after a positive preliminary check.Wearing a safety harness is necessary when picking up the dog. Such a harness (3 straps) can be purchased for only 25 €.

Ronja (geb. 11/2020) ist seit dem 20.06.2026 auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland und darf dort nun Schritt für Schritt entdecken, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Lange Spaziergänge in der Natur, am Feldrand in der Sonne liegen, Leckerlis genießen, sich vorsichtig streicheln lassen und ausgiebig im Gras und in frischer Erde schnuppern: Ronja lernt immer mehr, diese kleinen Dinge zu genießen.Dabei überwindet sie ihre Ängste und stellt sich mutig neuen Herausforderungen. Besonders schön ist ihr vertrauensvoller, fragender Blick, wenn sie in einer Situation noch unsicher ist. Sie sucht zunehmend die Orientierung bei ihren Menschen und zeigt damit, dass sie Vertrauen aufbauen möchte.Ronja kam als sehr ängstliche Hündin nach Deutschland. In Rumänien war sie lange Zeit kaum aus ihrer sicheren Hütte herauszukommen. Zwar ließ sie sich beobachten, fotografieren und filmen, blieb dabei aber lieber in ihrem geschützten Rückzugsort. Schon kleine Fortschritte waren deshalb etwas Besonderes. Im Februar 2026 gab es beispielsweise erstmals Ganzkörperfotos von ihr – ein großer Schritt für die damals noch sehr zurückhaltende Hündin.Heute ist Ronja deutlich weiter. Sie geht gerne spazieren, ist neugierig auf ihre Umgebung und kann die gemeinsame Zeit mit ihren Menschen zunehmend genießen. Mit ihren Hundekumpels ist sie verspielt und sozial. Ein souveräner Hund an ihrer Seite kann ihr zusätzliche Sicherheit geben. Bei den richtigen Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung können wir sie uns auch als Einzelprinzessin vorstellen. Regelmäßiger Kontakt zu anderen Artgenossen sollte für das Sozialverhalten jedoch sichergestellt werden (z. B. durch gemeinsame Spazierrunden mit befreundeten Nachbarshunden).Für Ronja suchen wir verständnisvolle und erfahrene Menschen, die ihr weiterhin die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Sie soll nicht bedrängt werden und braucht Menschen, die ihre Unsicherheit erkennen und ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, ohne Druck aufzubauen. Wer diesen Weg mit ihr gehen möchte, darf sich auf eine ganz besondere Entwicklung freuen: auf die kleinen Schritte, die für einen ehemals sehr ängstlichen Hund riesengroß sind.Ronja ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechipt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung des Hundes notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3 Riemen) kann für nur 25 € mit erworben werden.

About Ronja

What life with Ronja looks like

Ronja is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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.
