Shanti

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Shanti is a friendly and open-minded dog. She delights in any form of attention and loves long, cuddly petting sessions. She thoroughly enjoys going for walks and playing energetically. Shanti is full of energy and sometimes a bit playful and even a little mischievous. Unfortunately, as a puppy she contracted canine distemper, which often makes her coordination appear uncontrolled when she runs around. She gets along well with children, but with other dogs, it all depends on whether they’re likeable or not. Her training could still use some work. We’re looking for a loving home for Shanti—a home with plenty of space to run and play, and a family that’s patient and empathetic.

DE·Show original

Shanti ist eine freundliche und aufgeschlossene Hündin. Sie freut sich über jede Zuwendung und liebt ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Sie hat viel Freude am Gassi gehen und toben. Shanti ist ein Energiebündel und auch immer wieder etwas übermütig. Leider hatte sie als Welpe die Hundestaupe, weshalb ihre Koordination beim herumrennen oftmals unkontrolliert aussieht. Mit Kindern kommt sie gut klar, bei anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie. An ihrer Erziehung sollte noch gearbeitet werden. Für Shanti suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause mit viel Platz zum Toben und Spielen und eine Familie mit viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen

About Shanti

What life with Shanti looks like

Shanti is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Rothenburg ob der Tauber – Neusitz in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Shanti, answered.

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