How do I contact the shelter about Thea?

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

Can I adopt Thea 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 Thea 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 Thea 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 Thea 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.

Thea

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Thea, born approximately May 2022, spayed, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since April 2025. The beautiful female dog Thea was rescued from a public animal shelter and lives today in Maria's Shelter, where she is safe but still waiting for her own home. All her siblings have already been placed - only Thea remains. It is only a guess why she is overlooked. Perhaps because she is not yet ready to approach people. Perhaps because she has experienced too much in her previous life, which was simply too much for her gentle nature. Thea is currently very anxious. She does not want to be touched, rather retreats and observes from a distance. But she is curious - you can tell that she is slowly beginning to open up inside. She needs time, patience, and above all people who are willing to accept her as she is - without pressure, without expectations. In a quiet, stable home - far away from the often stressful everyday life in the shelter - Thea would finally have the chance to relax and gain trust at her own pace. We wish for Thea a home with empathetic and experienced people who will show her what a good dog life is in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay if Thea never wants to go for a walk or cuddle like a normal dog. Maybe she will be good for one or two positive surprises. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. Since Thea has only poor placement chances, we would be very happy if someone would take on a sponsorship for her. 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 at their 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 home 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:

05/2025 Futterpatenschaft: Kathrin Z. Tierarztpatenschaft: - Theas Pate werden Thea, geboren ca. 05/2022, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 04/2025 Die wunderschöne Hündin Thea wurde aus einem öffentlichen Tierheim gerettet und lebt heute in Marias Shelter, wo sie zwar in Sicherheit ist, aber weiterhin auf ihr eigenes Zuhause wartet. All ihre Geschwister wurden bereits vermittelt - nur Thea ist noch geblieben. Warum gerade sie übersehen wird, lässt sich nur vermuten. Vielleicht weil sie noch nicht bereit ist auf Menschen zuzugehen. Vielleicht, weil sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben zu viel erlebt hat, dass für ihr sanftes Wesen einfach zu viel war. Thea ist derzeit sehr ängstlich. Sie möchte nicht angefasst werden, zieht sich lieber zurück und beobachtet aus der Distanz. Doch sie ist neugierig - man merkt, dass sie innerlich beginnt, sich langsam zu öffnen. Sie braucht Zeit, Geduld und vor allem Menschen, die bereit sind, sie so anzunehmen, wie sie ist - ohne Druck, ohne Erwartungen. In einem ruhigen, stabilen Zuhause - weit weg vom oft stressigen Alltag im Shelter - hätte Thea endlich die Chance, sich zu entspannen und in ihrem Tempo Vertrauen zu fassen. Wir wünschen uns für Thea ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihr in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn Thea nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist sie dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus ist Grundvoraussetzung. Da Thea nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen hat, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für ihn übernimmt. 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 Thea

What life with Thea looks like

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