How do I contact the shelter about Simba?

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 Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Simba 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Simba 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 Simba 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 Simba and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Simba

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Simba, born approximately 2021, neutered, approximately 50 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 01/2022 Simba is so young and has already experienced so much bad. He was born as an unwanted puppy and was disposed of in the public animal shelter. He had a guardian angel named Maria, and so he is now with her in the shelter. You can see on the video from the day of arrival that he was very anxious. He is still shy and anxious, but you can already see a significant improvement. Unfortunately, it will not get much better for Simba in the shelter, there are unfortunately too many dogs there. Therefore, it would be urgently necessary for Simba to find a good home where he can arrive in peace. It would also be great to have an existing friendly dog, which shows him that a dog's life can be good and fun. Located currently in Romania and allowed to travel out 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 on arrival in 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:

01/2026 Simba, geboren ca. 2021, kastriert, ca. 50 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 01/2022 Simba ist so jung und hat schon so viel Schlechtes erlebt. Er kam als ungewollter Welpe auf die Welt und wurde im öffentlichen Tierheim entsorgt. Er hatte einen Schutzengel namens Maria, und so ist er nun bei ihr im Shelter. Man sieht auf dem Video vom Tag der Ankunft, dass er sehr ängstlich war. Er ist zwar immer noch scheu und ängstlich, aber man sieht schon eine deutliche Verbesserung. Viel besser wird es aber leider auch bei Maria im Shelter nicht werden können, dafür sind dort auch leider zu viele Hunde. Für Simba wäre es daher dringend nötig, ein gutes Zuhause finden zu dürfen, wo er in Ruhe ankommen kann. Toll wäre auch ein bereits vorhandener freundlicher Hund, welcher ihm zeigt, dass ein Hundeleben durchaus gut sein und Spaß machen kann. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er 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 Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a medium-sized 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. 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.
