Smilla

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Smilla und ihre Schwester Stina hatten keinen einfachen Start ins Leben – sie wurden in einer rumänischen Tötungsstation geboren. Um ihnen eine Zukunft zu ermöglichen, haben wir die beiden gemeinsam mit ihrer Mutter schnellstmöglich dort herausholen lassen. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle in Rumänien konnten sie in Sicherheit aufwachsen und ihre ersten Erfahrungen sammeln. Smilla ist ein freundlicher, aufgeweckter Welpe, der sich neugierig und verspielt zeigt. Sie kennt andere Hunde von der Pflegestelle und begegnet Menschen offen. Dennoch ist sie noch jung und muss vieles erst kennenlernen. Eine konsequente Erziehung ist notwendig, damit sie sich zu einem ausgeglichenen und souveränen Hund entwickeln kann. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Smilla – ebenso wie ihre Schwester – Herdenschutzhund-Anteile in sich trägt. Daher suchen wir für sie eine erfahrene Pflegestelle, die sich der Anforderungen dieser Hunde bewusst ist und ihr von Anfang an eine klare und sichere Führung bietet. Mit der richtigen Unterstützung bringt sie jedoch die besten Voraussetzungen mit, um sich zu einer zuverlässigen Begleiterin zu entwickeln. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf Smilla sich schon bald geimpft, kastriert, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis auf den Weg machen.

About Smilla

What life with Smilla looks like

Smilla is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Smilla, answered.

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