How do I contact the shelter about Smoky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Smoky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Smoky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen 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 Smoky 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 Smoky 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 Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Smoky 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.

Smoky

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Smoky – a little heart that still needs to learn to trust again ❤️🐾 This is Smoky. A small female dog found in Romania who is now waiting for her big chance. For her chance to finally arrive. 🐾 Smoky is a very special dog. She is incredibly grateful, gentle and very people-oriented. At the moment, however, she is still showing her shy side. She doesn't really know how to behave and whether she can really trust that everything will be okay now. 🥺❤️ But we are sure: Smoky will thaw. With a little time, patience and a lot of loving attention, she will discover that she doesn't have to be afraid anymore. That hands don't hurt. That people stay. And that a home can be a place where you can just be a dog. 🏡❤️ You can already feel how much she seeks the proximity of people and how grateful she is for every friendly attention. And who knows – maybe we will see in the next few days how the little cautious Smoky becomes a happy, affectionate dog girl. 🥰 Especially nice: Smoky also gets along with cats. 🐱❤️ We wish this little girl people who give her the time she needs. People who don't expect her to work perfectly from day one, but show her: "You are safe. You can arrive. And you are loved." ❤️ Maybe you are the person Smoky can finally open her heart to. 🐾 Smoky travels neutered, fully vaccinated, chipped and with an EU pet passport to Germany. 📩 If Smoky has touched your heart and you would like to give her a loving home, please contact us. Please fill out our placement questionnaire on our homepage: 🌐 tiernothilfe-ev.de Under "Smoky is not waiting for a perfect life. She is waiting for people who show her how beautiful a home can be. ❤️🐾

🐾❤️ Smoky – ein kleines Herz, das erst noch lernen muss, wieder zu vertrauen ❤️🐾 Das ist Smoky. Eine kleine Hündin, die in Rumänien gefunden wurde und nun auf ihre große Chance wartet. Auf ihre Chance, endlich anzukommen. 🐾 Smoky ist ein ganz besonderer Hund. Sie ist unglaublich dankbar, sanft und sehr menschenbezogen. Im Moment zeigt sie sich allerdings noch von ihrer schüchternen Seite. Sie weiß noch gar nicht so recht, wie sie sich verhalten soll und ob sie wirklich darauf vertrauen darf, dass jetzt alles gut wird. 🥺❤️ Aber wir sind uns sicher: Smoky wird auftauen. Mit ein wenig Zeit, Geduld und ganz viel liebevoller Zuwendung wird sie entdecken, dass sie keine Angst mehr haben muss. Dass Hände streicheln und nicht weh tun. Dass Menschen bleiben. Und dass ein eigenes Zuhause ein Ort sein kann, an dem man einfach Hund sein darf. 🏡❤️ Schon jetzt spürt man, wie sehr sie die Nähe zu Menschen sucht und wie dankbar sie für jede freundliche Zuwendung ist. Und wer weiß – vielleicht erleben wir schon in den nächsten Tagen, wie aus der kleinen vorsichtigen Smoky ein fröhliches, verschmustes Hundemädchen wird. 🥰 Besonders schön: Smoky versteht sich auch mit Katzen. 🐱❤️ Wir wünschen uns für dieses kleine Mädchen Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Menschen, die nicht erwarten, dass sie vom ersten Tag an perfekt funktioniert, sondern ihr zeigen: „Du bist sicher. Du darfst ankommen. Und du wirst geliebt.“ ❤️ Vielleicht bist DU genau der Mensch, bei dem Smoky endlich ihr Herz öffnen darf. 🐾 Smoky reist kastriert, komplett geimpft, gechipt und mit EU Heimtierausweis nach Deutschland. 📩 Wenn Smoky dein Herz berührt hat und du ihr ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne bei uns. Fülle bitte unseren Vermittlungsfragebogen auf unserer Homepage aus: 🌐 tiernothilfe-ev.de Unter „ Smoky wartet nicht auf ein perfektes Leben. Sie wartet auf Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Zuhause sein kann. ❤️🐾

About Smoky

What life with Smoky looks like

Smoky is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. in Germany.

An young 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
