Stina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Stina was born together with her sister Smilla in a Romanian kill shelter. To give them and their mother a chance at a better life, we had them taken out of there as quickly as possible. Since then, the two have been growing up in a Romanian foster home, where they took their first steps in life. Stina has developed into a friendly, open, and curious puppy. She greets people openly, is playful for her age, and knows other dogs from the foster home. However, she is still at the very beginning of her development and has yet to get to know the world. Consistent and loving training is therefore essential to turn her into a confident and reliable companion. We suspect that Stina – just like her sister – has some Livestock Guardian Dog ancestry. That is why we are looking for an experienced foster home that is familiar with the needs of such dogs and can offer her clear structure and leadership from the very start. Due to her young age, however, she has excellent prerequisites to develop into a wonderful and well-balanced dog with the right guidance. Upon a positive pre-check, Stina may soon set off vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport.

Stina wurde gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Smilla in einer rumänischen Tötungsstation geboren. Um ihnen und ihrer Mutter eine Chance auf ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen, haben wir sie schnellstmöglich dort herausholen lassen. Seitdem wachsen die beiden auf einer rumänischen Pflegestelle auf, wo sie ihre ersten Schritte ins Leben gemacht haben. Stina hat sich zu einem freundlichen, aufgeschlossenen und neugierigen Welpen entwickelt. Sie begegnet Menschen offen, ist altersentsprechend verspielt und kennt andere Hunde von der Pflegestelle. Allerdings steht sie noch ganz am Anfang ihrer Entwicklung und muss die Welt erst noch kennenlernen. Eine konsequente und liebevolle Erziehung ist daher essenziell, um aus ihr einen souveränen und verlässlichen Begleiter zu machen. Wir vermuten, dass in Stina – ebenso wie in ihrer Schwester – Herdenschutzhund-Anteile vorhanden sind. Deshalb suchen wir für sie eine erfahrene Pflegestelle, die mit den Bedürfnissen solcher Hunde vertraut ist und ihr von Beginn an klare Strukturen und Führung bieten kann. Aufgrund ihres jungen Alters bringt sie jedoch beste Voraussetzungen mit, um sich bei richtiger Anleitung zu einem tollen und ausgeglichenen Hund zu entwickeln. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf Stina sich schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis auf den Weg machen.

About Stina

What life with Stina looks like

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

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Stina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stina?: 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 Stina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stina 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Stina 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 Stina 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 Stina 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.
