Savi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Savi is a young female dog who currently lives in a foster home in Romania, where she is getting to know a structured daily routine and close contact with people for the first time. At first, she is a little reserved and cautious in new situations. She watches and orients herself toward people before anything else. If she is given calm, security, and friendly encouragement, she thaws quickly. Then you soon see how sweet and lovable she really is. She enjoys being petted and being close to people, and she is friendly and open once she understands that everything is all right. With other dogs, Savi is social and easygoing. She approaches new dog encounters cautiously at first, but she relaxes quickly and gets along without problems with other dogs in her foster home. She has already had her first experiences on the leash. She generally enjoys walking alongside, but she will still need training and guidance to feel secure in everyday life. Savi has so far only experienced car rides on a small scale, for example trips to the vet. According to her foster home, these went without problems. Even so, it should be kept in mind that she still knows relatively little overall and has yet to get to know many everyday situations. For Savi, we are looking for people with patience, calm, and an understanding that dogs from international animal welfare take time to truly settle in. She is not a "finished" dog and still has to learn many things, such as daily routines, environmental stimuli, and finding her way in a new home. Young dogs in particular need reliable leadership, clear rules, and people who are willing to invest time in training, everyday practice, and building their bond. Attending a good dog training school is recommended. After a positive pre-adoption check, Savi may leave for her new home in exchange for an adoption fee of 495 euros, and she will be vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas, with an EU pet passport.

Savi ist eine junge Hündin, die aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle in Rumänien lebt und dort zum ersten Mal einen geregelten Alltag und engen Kontakt zum Menschen kennenlernen darf. Anfangs zeigt sie sich in neuen Situationen noch ein wenig zurückhaltend und vorsichtig. Sie beobachtet erst einmal und orientiert sich am Menschen. Gibt man ihr dabei Ruhe, Sicherheit und fordert sie freundlich auf, taut sie schnell auf. Dann merkt man schnell, wie lieb und süß sie eigentlich ist. Sie lässt sich gerne anfassen, genießt die Nähe zum Menschen und zeigt sich freundlich und offen, sobald sie verstanden hat, dass alles in Ordnung ist. Mit anderen Hunden verhält sich Savi sozial und unkompliziert. Neue Hundekontakte begegnet sie zunächst eher vorsichtig, entspannt sich aber schnell und lebt auf ihrer Pflegestelle problemlos mit anderen Hunden zusammen. Auch an der Leine durfte sie bereits erste Erfahrungen sammeln. Sie läuft grundsätzlich gerne mit, wird aber weiterhin Training und Orientierung brauchen, um sich sicher im Alltag zurechtzufinden. Autofahrten kennt Savi bisher nur in kleinem Rahmen, beispielsweise durch Fahrten zum Tierarzt. Diese verliefen laut Pflegestelle problemlos. Trotzdem sollte man berücksichtigen, dass sie insgesamt noch wenig kennt und viele Alltagssituationen erst noch kennenlernen muss. Für Savi suchen wir Menschen mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis dafür, dass Hunde aus dem Auslandstierschutz Zeit brauchen, um richtig anzukommen. Sie ist kein „fertiger“ Hund und muss viele Dinge wie Alltagsabläufe, Umweltreize und Orientierung im neuen Zuhause erst noch lernen. Gerade junge Hunde brauchen verlässliche Führung, klare Regeln und Menschen, die bereit sind, Zeit in Erziehung, Alltagstraining und Bindungsarbeit zu investieren. Der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule wird empfohlen. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Savi gegen eine Schutzgebühr in Höhe von 495 Euro geimpft, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis ausreisen.

About Savi

What life with Savi looks like

Savi is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Savi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Savi?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Savi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Savi if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Savi, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Savi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Savi as vaccinated and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Savi isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Savi 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.
