Adopt Roxana

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years

Roxana is a German Shepherd dog born in November 2020, who was taken over by our Hungarian partner organization from another shelter. She will be spayed before her adoption. She has a fantastic temperament, is people-oriented, very affectionate and loyal. She enjoys every attention, shows great willingness to learn and will be a wonderful companion for walks or hikes. Visiting a dog school would certainly be fun for her. As a member of her breed, she wants to please and can be easily motivated. Roxana would be a lovely family dog and surely a valuable addition to families with older children. She gets along well with males and plays with them, but with other females it depends on the chemistry. Therefore, we recommend her as a second dog to a dog owner. Her behavior towards cats is unknown. She wishes for loving and active people who have enough free time to spend with her and live on the edge of the city or preferably in the countryside. Some experience in dog ownership should already be present. The female dog has a shoulder height of 60 cm and weighs 28 kg.

Roxana ist eine im November 2020 geborene Deutsche Schäferhündin, die unsere ungarische Partnerorganisation von einem anderen Tierheim übernommen hat. Sie wird vor ihrer Adoption noch kastriert werden. Sie besitzt ein fantastisches Wesen, ist menschenorientiert, überaus anhänglich und treu. Sie genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, präsentiert sich äußerst lernfreudig und wird eine wunderbare Begleiterin bei Spaziergängen oder Wanderungen sein. Auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule würde ihr bestimmt Spaß machen. Ihrer Rasse entsprechend will sie gefallen und lässt sich leicht motivieren. Roxana wäre eine liebe Familienhündin und sicherlich ebenso eine Bereicherung für Familien mit älteren Kindern. Sie versteht sich mit Rüden bestens und spielt mit ihnen, bei anderen Hündinnen entscheidet jedoch die Sympathie. Als Zweithund empfehlen wir sie daher zu einem Hundeherrn. Ihr Verhalten Katzen gegenüber ist nicht bekannt. Sie wünscht sich liebevolle und aktive Menschen, die über ausreichend Freizeit verfügen, um sich mit ihr zu beschäftigen und am Stadtrand oder bevorzugt im ländlichen Bereich wohnen. Etwas Erfahrung in der Hundehaltung sollte bereits vorhanden sein. Die Hündin hat eine Schulterhöhe von 60 cm und wiegt 28 kg.

About Roxana

What life with Roxana looks like

Roxana is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Animal Care Hungary.

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 Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roxana, answered.

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