How do I contact the shelter about Roxie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roxie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Roxie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Roxie 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 Roxie 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roxie 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.

Roxie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

♀, born ca. 2022, quiet - very anxious - socialized 31061 Alfeld Roxie is a ca. 3-year-old Podenco Maneto female dog with a shoulder height of 31 cm. Roxie was simply abandoned in a residential area in Rota/Andalusia, where she desperately wandered around in search of help. Her general condition was quite good and well-groomed, which suggests that she was no longer wanted by her owners. Currently, she is in a foster home in 31061 Alfeld, where she has developed a lot of trust and is very grateful for every pat. She gets along well with the other dogs, and with the existing young dogs, she plays joyfully in the grass. However, she still has a great fear of strangers, and especially of men. We are looking for a quiet home in the countryside for Roxie, where she can pursue her favorite activity, hunting mice, and where she will be given security. In her foster home, she has developed into a very cuddly sofa sitter. She is still very anxious only towards the head of the household. Roxie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and was tested negative for Mediterranean diseases. The adoption fee for Roxie is 460,-- Euro. If you would like to give Roxie a nice home, please apply to us using the following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♀ , geb. ca. 2022ruhig - sehr ängstlich - sozialin 31061 Alfeld Roxie ist eine ca. 3 Jahre alte Podenco Maneto-Hündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von 31 cm. Roxie wurde einfach in einem Wohngebiet in Rota/Andalusien ausgesetzt, wo sie verzweifelt auf der Suche nach Hilfe umherstreifte. Ihr Allgemeinzustand war recht gut und gepflegt, was darauf schließen läßt, dass sie von ihren Besitzern nicht mehr gewollt wurde. Mittlerweile befindet sie sich in einer Pflegestelle in 31061 Alfeld, wo sie immer mehr Vertrauen fast und sehr dankbar für jede Streicheleinheit ist. Mit den anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut, und mit den vorhandenen Junghunden tobt sie ausgelassen über den Rasen. Allerdings hat sie vor fremden Menschen, und vor allem vor Männern, immer noch große Angst. Wir suchen für Roxie ein ruhiges Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung, wo sie ihrer Lieblingsbeschäftigung, dem Mäuse jagen, nachgehen kann, und wo man ihr Sicherheit gibt. In ihrer Pflegestelle hat sie sich inzwischen zu einem sehr verschmusten Sofahocker entwickelt. Nur dem Hern des Hauses gegenüber ist sie noch sehr ängstlich. Roxie ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt und wurde negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Die Schutzgebühr für Roxie beträgt 460,-- Euro. Wenn Sie Roxie gern ein schönes Zuhause geben möchten, bewerben Sie sich bitte bei uns über das nachstehende Kontaktformular. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V.. Erstellt mit Wix.com

About Roxie

What life with Roxie looks like

Roxie is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
