Shari

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born around March 2025. Gender: Female. Spayed: Yes. Personality: Very friendly, gentle. Size: Approximately 49 cm. In shelter since: April 2026. Hello, dear people, may I tell you my story? I am Shari! They didn't want me anymore and simply left me by the roadside, all alone. Starved to the bones, exhausted, and tired. No one knows how long I lay there. In the icy cold, I probably wouldn't have lasted much longer. But then, a vet found me. A person who didn't just walk on by and took me in. For the first time in a long time, there was someone who looked at me as if I were valuable. At the clinic, it turned out that I have an old injury on my paw. It has healed well, but perhaps that was the reason I was discarded. Perhaps I was no longer "useful" for the hunt. Unfortunately, this happens far too often in Romania. Dogs like me are simply thrown away once they are no longer useful. But you know what? Despite everything, I haven't given up on people. I am happy about every hand that strokes me. I greet every person kindly and carefully, as if my heart still hopes that someone somewhere has been waiting for me. I am a gentle soul – quiet, friendly, and full of love. Just like many greyhounds often are: delicate at heart, sensitive, and full of dignity. The first few weeks, I was allowed to stay at the clinic and recover. There, I was well-nourished and cared for. Now, I live in the shelter. I manage here, but everything is strange to me. The many noises, the many dogs, the unrest… I wish for a place where I can finally arrive. A place where I don't have to be strong anymore. Maybe you are the one I am looking for. A person who sees not just my sad past, but also the wonderful heart that beats within me. Someone who understands how special I am. Who loves my gentle nature, my soft eyes, and my cautious trust. I don't wish for a perfect life. Just a warm dog bed, loving hands, and security. And people who will never throw me away again. Interested? If you are interested in Shari, please fill out our interested parties form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Shari is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Ralf T. has taken the paternity for Shari and ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

SteckbriefAlter: ca. Oktober 2024 geboren. Geschlecht: weiblich. Kastriert: jaCharakter: sehr freundlich, sanftGröße: ca. 49 cmIm Shelter seit: April 2026Hallo ihr lieben Menschen,darf ich euch meine Geschichte erzählen?Ich bin Shari! Mich wollte man nicht mehr und hat mich einfach am am Straßenrand zurückgelassen, ganz allein.Abgemagert bis auf die Knochen, erschöpft und müd. Niemand weiß, wie lange ich dort gelegen habe. Bei der eisigen Kälte hätte ich vermutlich nicht mehr lange durchgehalten.Doch dann hat mich der Tierarzt gefunden. Ein Mensch, der nicht einfach weitergegangen ist und er nahm mich mit. Zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit war da jemand, der mich angesehen hat, als wäre ich wertvoll.In der Klinik stellte sich heraus, dass ich eine alte Verletzung an meiner Pfote habe. Sie ist inzwischen gut verheilt, aber vielleicht war genau das der Grund, warum man mich entsorgt hat. Vielleicht war ich für die Jagd nicht mehr „brauchbar“. In Rumänien passiert das leider viel zu oft. Hunde wie ich werden einfach weggeworfen, sobald sie keinen Nutzen mehr haben.Aber wisst ihr was? Trotz allem habe ich die Menschen nicht aufgegeben.Ich freue mich über jede streichelnde Hand. Ich begrüße jeden Menschen freundlich und vorsichtig, als würde mein Herz immer noch hoffen, dass irgendwo jemand nur auf mich gewartet hat. Ich bin eine sanfte Seele – leise, freundlich und voller Liebe. Genau so, wie Windhunde oft sind: zart im Herzen, feinfühlig und voller Würde.Die ersten Wochen durfte ich in der Klinik bleiben und mich erholen. Dort wurde ich aufgepäppelt und umsorgt. Jetzt lebe ich im Shelter. Ich komme hier zurecht, aber alles ist fremd für mich. Die vielen Geräusche, die vielen Hunde, die Unruhe… Ich wünsche mir so sehr einen Ort, an dem ich endlich ankommen darf. Einen Ort, an dem ich nicht mehr stark sein muss.Vielleicht suche ich genau dich. Einen Menschen, der nicht nur meine traurige Vergangenheit sieht, sondern auch das wunderbare Herz, das in mir schlägt. Jemanden, der versteht, wie besonders ich bin. Der meine leise Art liebt, meine sanften Augen und mein vorsichtiges Vertrauen.Ich wünsche mir kein perfektes Leben. Nur ein warmes Körbchen. Liebevolle Hände und Sicherheit. Und Menschen, die mich nie wieder wegwerfen. Interesse geweckt?Wenn Sie Interesse an Shari haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Shari ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Ralf T. hat die Patenschaft für Shari übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Shari

What life with Shari looks like

Shari is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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 Shari, answered.

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