Sensible Rika

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Hündin, geb. ca. 2024, ca. 40 cm, kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, vor Ausreise Test auf Babesiose, Borreliose, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose, Dirofilarien und Leishmaniose Über Sensible RikaRika stand mitten auf einer rumänischen Straße, als sie zufällig gefunden wurde. Wer weiß, wie lange sie andernfalls dort überlebt hätte. Ihr Finder brachte sie in das von unserer Tierretterin betreute Shelter, wo Rika erst mal zur Ruhe kommen und sich sattfressen konnte. Mit ihren Leidensgenossen kommt die liebe Hundedame gut aus, auch mit ihren wenigen Betreuern. Sie zeigt sich dabei sehr freundlich und zugewandt, braucht aber immer erst einen kurzen Moment, um aufzutauen. Als es für eine Videoaufnahme nach draußen ging und Rika an der Leine laufen sollte, machte ihr das Angst. Das Laufen an der Leine ist ihr noch nicht geheuer und muss im neuen Zuhause noch trainiert werden. Daher suchen wir für die sensible und liebenswerte Rika ein einfühlsames, geduldiges Zuhause im ländlichen Bereich mit Haus und Garten, das ihr die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigt. Gern auch eine solche Pflegestelle. Rika befindet sich noch in Rumänien.

About Sensible Rika

What life with Sensible Rika looks like

Sensible Rika is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS-Strassentiere e.V. in Berlin-Köpenick.

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 Sensible Rika, answered.

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