How do I contact the shelter about Serafina T?

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

Can I adopt Serafina T if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundepfoten Steinfurt 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 Serafina T 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 Serafina T 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 Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Serafina T 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.

Adopt Serafina T

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Serafina waits for people with patience and heart. Serafina came from the animal shelter in Rudabánya, where she stood on our waiting list for many months, hoping to finally be seen. She was found together with her penmate Gerry on the streets of Rudabánya—two dogs who were probably long without anyone who truly cared for them. Serafina is a very special female dog. At first, she meets new people with some caution and shyness, but if given a little time, she quickly warms up and shows her loving, gentle nature. One can immediately sense that she simply wants to arrive and gain trust. Serafina was born in June 2024 and is about 48 cm tall. She gets along well with other dogs and shows herself to be social and friendly. Therefore, she can be kept as a single dog or introduced to an already existing dog. For Serafina, we wish for people who will give her the time she needs to settle into her new life. People who do not expect anything from her but show her with calmness, patience, and love that she is finally safe. Once Serafina has gained trust, she will surely be a faithful companion for life to her family. Who will finally give this wonderful female dog the home she has been waiting for so long? A Caniv 4 D test is still pending. We are happy to answer your questions.

Serafina wartet auf Menschen mit Geduld und HerzSerafina kam aus dem Tierheim in Rudabánya, wo sie viele Monate auf unserer Warteliste stand und darauf hoffte, endlich gesehen zu werden. Gefunden wurde sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Zwingerkumpel Gerry auf den Straßen von Rudabánya – zwei Hunde, die vermutlich lange niemanden hatten, der sich wirklich um sie kümmerte.Dabei ist Serafina eine ganz besondere Hündin. Anfangs begegnet sie neuen Menschen noch etwas vorsichtig und schüchtern, doch wenn man ihr ein wenig Zeit gibt, taut sie schnell auf und zeigt ihr liebevolles, sanftes Wesen. Man spürt sofort, dass sie einfach nur ankommen und Vertrauen fassen möchte.Serafina wurde im Juni 2024 geboren und ist etwa 48 cm groß.

About Serafina T

What life with Serafina T looks like

Serafina T is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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.
