Silvia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Silvia, born circa 2019, spayed, approximately 65cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 12/2024 Silvia was rescued from the public Alexandria animal shelter and is now in Maria's Shelter. The snow-white female dog was initially shy and reserved, but has shed this fear and is now very interested and cheerful when given attention. She is also very good with other dogs and is lucky to still need a family of her own. As a large dog, Silvia is no longer the youngest and would certainly appreciate the amenities of a life with soft beds and warmth. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites upon arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

06/2025 Silvia, geboren ca. 2019, kastriert, ca. 65cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 12/2024 Silvia wurde aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim Alexandria gerettet und befindet sich nun in Marias Shelter. Dei schneeweiße Hündin war zunächst schüchtern und zurückhaltend, hat diese Angst aber abgelegt und ist nun sehr interessiert und fröhlich, wenn man ihr Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist sie sehr gut verträglich und zu ihrem Glück fehlt ihr nun noch eine eigene Familie. Als großer Hund ist Silvia nicht mehr die jüngste und wüsste die Annehmlichkeiten eines Lebens mit weichen Schlafplätzen und Wärme sicherlich zu schätzen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Silvia

What life with Silvia looks like

Silvia is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Silvia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silvia?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silvia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silvia if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Silvia 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 Silvia 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silvia 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.
