Rosie

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Name: Rosie Breed: mixed breed Gender: female, neutered Size: 49 cm Weight: 20 kg Age: 01.07.2012 In the animal shelter since: 16.05.2023 If you are interested in Rosie, please answer the following six questions in your inquiry first: 1. How many people live in your household? 2. Are there children in the house? If yes, how many and how old? 3. Are there other pets in the house? If yes, which ones? 4. What is the living situation (house/apartment? floor? garden?) 5. How many hours would the dog be alone each day? (Please note: supervision must be provided by adults. Children do not count for supervision!) 6. Do you already have dog experience? 7. Your year of birth? Rosie had to unfortunately return to the animal shelter because her owners had to move into a supported senior living facility due to illness. She did not adapt well to the new environment and bit a caregiver there. She also could not stay with the family of Rosie's owners, as she bit the children when they felt cornered. The return of their beloved female dog to the animal shelter was very hard on the former owners. She lived there well-cared for and was well looked after. Rosie shows herself to us as a lively and sturdy female dog. Through her clear communication, all dog handlers get along well with her. She accepts her muzzle very well and can also go for walks with our leash users, which she enjoys very much. She loves to be stroked and petted, to lie in the sun on the grass (or on the sofa), and she burrows and bathes for hours on end. She shows territorial behavior at times and unsure people must not enter her territory. She currently lives with a confident male dog, which works very well. However, she does not like all dogs. She decides based on sympathy. We are looking for a home for Rosie with responsible and dog-experienced people who can give her the security she needs. There should be no dogs or other pets in the new home so that Rosie can have her new people to herself. Due to the incidents, we also do not place the female dog with families with children. Do you have a question about this animal? Please call us: Tues-Fri 15-17 and Sat 14-17. Or write to us: Some shelter animal may need to be more patient in the search for an appropriate home. This may be due to illness, age, or special character traits. To make the time for these residents as pleasant as possible for them, we rely on the financial support of animal friends. By adopting a sponsorship, you help us with the daily and medical care and housing of our animals. Sponsorships are possible from a monthly contribution of 10 euros. You can also set the amount of your contribution as you see fit. As a thank you, you will receive an individually designed sponsorship certificate and will be mentioned as a sponsor on our homepage and our Facebook page.

Name: Rosie Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich kastriert Größe: 49 cm Gewicht: 20 kg Alter: 01.07.2012 Im Tierheim seit: 16.05.2023 Wie eng das Schicksal von Hunden und Menschen verknüpft ist, zeigt das Beispiel von Hundeseniorin Rosie. Die lustige und rüstige Hündin mit dem originellen Aussehen hatte alles, was sich ein Vierbeiner wünschen kann. Ihre Menschen haben sich vorbildlich um sie gekümmert und ein liebevolles Zuhause gegeben. Doch dann musste ihr Herrchen in ein Seniorendomizil umziehen. Sein Liebling Rosie durfte sogar mitkommen, kam aber mit den Pflegern nicht zurecht. Der Versuch der Verwandten sie in der Familie aufzunehmen scheiterte ebenfalls, die Hündin kam mit den Kindern nicht klar. Rosie bringt klar zum Ausdruck gebracht, wenn ihr Trubel nicht behagen, besonders in der Umgebung ihrer Bezugspersonen. Wenn sie etwas nicht mag, kommuniziert sie das klar und deutlich. Für ihre Menschen geht Rosie durchs Feuer, ist anhänglich und liebt es gestreichelt zu werden und zu kuscheln. Sie genießt es in der Sonne zu liegen und auf dem Sofa gemütlich vor dem Fernseher zu dösen. Sie geht gerne spazieren, mag ihre Gassirunden, buddelt für ihr Leben gerne und im Wasser zu planschen ist für Rosie das Größte. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie zurecht und könnte mit einem passenden Vierbeiner zusammen leben. Für die charmante Hundedame im reiferen Alter suchen wir ebensolche Hundefreunde, die gemeinsam mit ihr den Lebensabend genießen. Dann wäre alles wieder so schön wie früher. Wenn Sie Interesse an Rosie haben, beantworten Sie uns in Ihrer Anfrage bitte zuerst die folgenden sechs Fragen:1. Wie viele Personen leben im Haushalt?2. Leben Kinder im Haus? Wenn ja, wie viele und wie alt?3. Leben andere Tiere im Haus? Wenn ja, welche?4. Wie ist die Wohnsituation (Haus/Wohnung? Stockwerk? Garten?)5. Wie viele Stunden wäre der Hund am Tag insgesamt alleine? (Bitte beachten: Die Betreuung muss durch erwachsene Personen sichergestellt sein. Kinder zählen daher nicht mit für die Betreuung!)6. Haben Sie bereits Hundeerfahrung?7. Ihr Geburtsjahr? Sie haben eine Frage zu diesem Tier? Rufen Sie uns gerne an: Do, Fr 15-17 Uhr und Sa 14-17 Uhr Oder schreiben Sie uns: Mancher Schützling muss bei der Suche nach einem geeigneten Zuhause etwas mehr Geduld aufbringen. Sei es aufgrund einer Krankheit, seines Alters oder besonderer Charakterzüge. Um diesen Bewohnern die Zeit bei uns so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, sind wir auf die finanzielle Unterstützung von Tierfreunden angewiesen. Mit der Übernahme einer Patenschaft helfen Sie uns bei der täglichen und medizinischen Versorgung und Unterbringung unserer Tiere. Patenschaften sind ab einem Monatsbeitrag von 10 Euro möglich. Darüber hinaus können Sie die Höhe Ihres Beitrags selbstverständlich selbst festlegen. Als Dankeschön erhalten Sie eine individuell gestaltete Patenurkunde und werden sowohl auf unserer Homepage wie auch unserer Facebook-Seite als Pat*in erwähnt.

About Rosie

What life with Rosie looks like

Rosie is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at BMT Tierheim Pfullingen in Pfullingen.

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. 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 Rosie, answered.

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