Sandra

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sandra - born September 2024 and approximately 53 cm tall - once had a home, but suddenly she was no longer welcome there. Her former owners did not seek a responsible way out, but instead put pressure on the animal welfare organization: either she is taken over immediately or her life ends. The animal welfare organization turned to us, and so Sandra came to Vierbeiner in Not e.V. - unsure, but friendly, full of trust and with a desire for closeness. Already on the first day, she showed how much she likes people. She lay on her back, let her belly be stroked and sought every form of attention. At the same time, it became clear how urgently she needs help: numerous fleas, missing vaccinations, no deworming and no castration. All of this is now being done step by step, so that she can start her new life healthy and unburdened. With her new name and a lovingly put together starter package, Sandra has already made the first steps into a better future. Now she is looking for people who fall in love with her, give her a home or initially offer her a foster home as a stepping stone. Sandra travels spayed, vaccinated, chipped and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-control. General note on our protégés: Our dogs in Romania are regularly visited, so we can always re-evaluate their behavior and development. These personal impressions help us very much to convey a good picture of each individual dog. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that a dog in a new environment - with new people, new routines and new impressions - can also show itself differently. This is quite normal and is part of every change process. Many dogs open up faster at home and show sides that were not visible in the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but are not a guarantee for every behavior in the new environment. They should provide orientation and show how the dog presents itself in the shelter - and what potential is in him. We are convinced: with patience, understanding and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and develop positively.

Sandra - geb. 09/2024 und ca. 53 cm groß - hatte einmal ein Zuhause, doch plötzlich war sie dort nicht mehr willkommen. Ihre ehemaligen Halter suchten keinen verantwortungsvollen Weg, sondern setzten die Tierschützer unter Druck: Entweder sie wird sofort übernommen oder ihr Leben endet. Die Tierschützer wandten sich an uns, und so kam Sandra zu Vierbeiner in Not e.V. – verunsichert, aber freundlich, voller Vertrauen und mit dem Wunsch nach Nähe.Schon am ersten Tag zeigte sie, wie sehr sie Menschen mag. Sie legte sich auf den Rücken, ließ sich den Bauch streicheln und suchte jede Form von Zuwendung. Gleichzeitig wurde sichtbar, wie dringend sie Hilfe braucht: zahlreiche Flöhe, fehlende Impfungen, keine Entwurmung und keine Kastration. All das wird nun Schritt für Schritt nachgeholt, damit sie gesund und unbelastet in ihr neues Leben starten kann.Mit ihrem neuen Namen und einem liebevoll zusammengestellten Starterpaket hat Sandra bereits die ersten Schritte in eine bessere Zukunft gemacht. Jetzt sucht sie Menschen, die sich in sie verlieben, ihr ein Zuhause schenken oder ihr zunächst eine Pflegestelle als Sprungbrett bieten möchten. Sandra reist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Sandra

What life with Sandra looks like

Sandra is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Sandra, answered.

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