Rosita

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Rosita must urgently get out of the animal shelter. Our little cuddle treat is only four months old and our friends in Linares are very worried about the health of puppies who have to move into the facility with an incomplete vaccination schedule. In summer it is very difficult to find enough foster families for all the small newcomers, especially since there is always a flood of abandoned dogs before the holidays, and so the little girl could only live in a protected environment for two weeks (and during that time at least receive the first basic immunization) and is now waiting at ArcoNatura for kind people to find her who want to give her a real home. Rosita was discovered by a family on a field in the countryside where the desperate puppy was wandering around alone. The animal-loving people immediately informed our partners who took Rosita into their care. Rosita is a little sunshine. She joyfully and happily discovers the world and makes friends by pawing. Unfortunately, she cannot live in a pack at the animal shelter and has only a few selected friends with whom she can play for a few minutes a day. For such a young dog, there is too little time in the daily routine at the animal shelter and Rosita spends many hours alone, which should change as soon as possible. We are looking for a loving family for this cheerful mixed-breed female dog, who has enough time and humor to explain to Rosita how to play with balls, show her how to distinguish toys from furniture and clothes, how to take over the couch and beg for cookies. Rosita is a charming little girl and is waiting with packed suitcase and her brand new passport to hear from you!

Rosita muss ganz dringend aus dem Tierheim raus. Unsere kleine Schmusepraline ist erst vier Monate alt und unsere Freunde in Linares fürchten sehr um die Gesundheit von Welpen, die mit einem noch nicht kompletten Impfschutz in die Einrichtung umsiedeln müssen. Im Sommer ist es sehr schwer, genug Pflegefamilien für all die kleinen Neuzugänge zu finden, zumal es ja auch immer die Flut der ausgesetzten Hunde vor den Ferien gibt, und so konnte das kleine Mädchen nur zwei Wochen in geschützter Umgebung leben (und in dieser Zeit wenigstens die erste Grundimmunisierung bekommen) und wartet jetzt in der ArcoNatura darauf, dass sich liebe Leute finden, die ihr ein richtiges Zuhause schenken wollen. Rosita wurde von einer Familie auf einem Feld auf dem Land entdeckt, wo der verzweifelte Babyhund allein durch die Gegend irrte. Die tierlieben Menschen informierten sofort unsere Partner, die Rosita in ihre Obhut nahmen. Rosita ist ein kleiner Sonnenschein. Sie entdeckt freudig und fröhlich ihre Welt und schließt im Pfotenumdrehen Freundschaft. Leider kann sie im Tierheim nicht im Rudel leben und hat nur ein paar wenige ausgesuchte Freunde, mit denen sie einige Minuten am Tag spielen darf. Für einen so jungen Hund ist im Tierheimalltag viel zu wenig Zeit und Rosita verbringt viele Stunden allein, was sich möglichst schnell ändern sollte. Wir suchen für die fröhliche Mischlingshündin also eine liebevolle Familie, die genug Zeit und Humor hat, um Rosita den Umgang mit Bällen zu erklären, ihr zu zeigen, wie man Spielzeug von Möbeln und Kleidung unterscheidet, wie man die Couch erobert und nach Keksen bettelt. Rosita ist ein bezauberndes kleines Mädchen und wartet auf gepackten Köfferchen mit ihrem nagelneuen Reisepass darauf, von Ihnen zu hören!

About Rosita

What life with Rosita looks like

Rosita is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Rosita, answered.

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