Roxy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Name: Roxy Rasse: Deutschdrahthaar-Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich, intakt Geburtsdatum: 01.01.2023 Roxy ist eine Deutsch-Drahthaar-Mischlingshündin mit einer sehr bewegenden und traurigen Vergangenheit. Sie stammt aus einer Wohnung, in der sie unter schwierigen Bedingungen leben musste. Ein Hausmeister, der im Rahmen seiner servicetechnischen Tätigkeit die Wohnung betrat, fand dort einen extremen Messie-Haushalt vor und entschied sich aus Mitgefühl, Roxy aus dieser Situation herauszuholen. Als „Gegenleistung“ nahm er nicht etwa Geld an, sondern den Hund, um ihr ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen. Da er selbst jedoch keine dauerhafte Möglichkeit hatte, sich um sie zu kümmern, wurde Roxy schließlich im Tierheim abgegeben – ein weiterer großer Einschnitt für eine Hündin, die bisher wenig Stabilität erfahren durfte. Entsprechend zeigt sich Roxy zunächst etwas unsicher und vorsichtig gegenüber fremden Menschen. Sie braucht am Anfang ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Gibt man ihr diese Zeit und begegnet ihr ruhig und geduldig, taut sie jedoch schnell auf. Dann zeigt sie ihr wahres Wesen: Roxy ist sehr freundlich, anhänglich und sucht gezielt die Nähe zu ihren Bezugspersonen. Sie gen

About Roxy

What life with Roxy looks like

Roxy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oellschuetz in Germany.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roxy, answered.

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