Timona

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Timona – Friendly Young Female Dog Looking for Her People Timona originally comes from Romania and now lives in a foster home in Germany. There she shows a little more of her potential every day and keeps developing steadily with the right support. Timona is very friendly toward her primary caregivers and enjoys physical contact. She loves attention and is increasingly oriented toward her people. Strangers she approaches cautiously at first. With a bit of patience, however, she warms up quickly, accepts treats, and can get to know new people. She shows no difference between men and women, but she is still more unsure around children than around adults. Indoors, Timona settles in well. She shows no territorial behavior or resource guarding. At first she tended to follow her people everywhere, but with clear structure and a fixed place of her own, this has been worked on, and she can now relax well. With other dogs, Timona is friendly, appropriate, and social. She meets dogs cautiously at first but with curiosity. When contact happens, she approaches calmly and respectfully. Outside, Timona reacts to cats with neutral to interested behavior. No notable hunting interest has been observed. Timona is reliably housetrained. Being left alone has so far been practiced briefly together with another dog and should be gradually built up in her new home. She handles car rides very calmly and relaxed. She is already well accustomed to a harness, collar, and leash. She still gets a little excited when being put into her harness, but once outside she mostly walks relaxed and loose on the leash, stays well oriented toward her person, and regularly checks in on her own. Everyday environmental stimuli such as cars or bicycles now hardly pose a challenge for her. She is still somewhat unsure around children and joggers, but she continues to develop steadily. Timona adapts well to her people's everyday activity level. She enjoys walks and play together and likewise loves spending time with her primary caregivers. For Timona we wish for people who take her initial insecurity seriously and guide her through new situations with patience, clarity, and confident leadership. Because of her generally friendly and adaptable nature, we can also imagine her with committed first-time dog owners, provided they attend a competent dog training school from the start. A home without (small) children would be ideal for Timona. After a positive pre-adoption check, Timona may move to her new home neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport, for a protection fee of 495 euros.

Timona – freundliche junge Hündin sucht ihre Menschen Timona stammt ursprünglich aus Rumänien und lebt inzwischen auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland. Dort zeigt sie jeden Tag, wie viel Potenzial in ihr steckt und entwickelt sich mit der richtigen Begleitung stetig weiter. Timona begegnet ihren Bezugspersonen ausgesprochen freundlich und sucht gerne Körperkontakt. Aufmerksamkeit genießt sie sehr und orientiert sich zunehmend an ihren Menschen. Fremden begegnet sie zunächst vorsichtig. Mit etwas Geduld taut sie jedoch zügig auf, nimmt Leckerlis an und kann neue Menschen kennenlernen. Unterschiede zwischen Männern und Frauen zeigt sie dabei nicht, bei Kindern reagiert sie aktuell noch unsicherer als bei Erwachsenen. Im Haus kommt Timona gut zur Ruhe. Territorialverhalten oder Ressourcenverteidigung zeigt sie nicht. Anfangs neigte sie dazu, ihren Menschen gerne hinterherzulaufen. Mit klaren Strukturen und einer festen Platzzuweisung wurde daran gearbeitet und inzwischen kann sie sich gut entspannen. Mit Artgenossen zeigt sich Timona freundlich, angemessen und sozial. Hundebegegnungen meistert sie zunächst eher vorsichtig, aber neugierig. Kommt es zum Kontakt, nähert sie sich ruhig und respektvoll. Katzen begegnet Timona draußen neutral bis interessiert. Ein nennenswertes jagdliches Interesse konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Timona ist zuverlässig stubenrein. Das Alleinbleiben wurde bisher kurzzeitig gemeinsam mit einem weiteren Hund geübt und sollte im neuen Zuhause schrittweise weiter aufgebaut werden. Autofahrten meistert sie sehr ruhig und entspannt. An Geschirr, Halsband und Leine hat sich Timona bereits gut gewöhnt. Zwar ist sie beim Anlegen des Geschirrs noch etwas aufgeregt, unterwegs läuft sie jedoch überwiegend entspannt und locker an der Leine, orientiert sich gut an ihrem Menschen und hält von sich aus immer wieder Rücksprache. Alltägliche Umweltreize wie Autos oder Fahrräder stellen für Timona inzwischen kaum noch eine Herausforderung dar. Kindern und Joggern begegnet sie aktuell noch mit etwas Unsicherheit, entwickelt sich jedoch kontinuierlich weiter. Timona passt sich im Alltag gut an das Aktivitätsniveau ihrer Menschen an. Sie freut sich über gemeinsame Spaziergänge und gemeinsames Spiel und verbringt ebenso gerne Zeit mit ihren Bezugspersonen. Für Timona wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihre anfängliche Unsicherheit ernst nehmen und sie mit Geduld, Klarheit und einer souveränen Anleitung durch neue Situationen begleiten. Aufgrund ihres insgesamt freundlichen und anpassungsfähigen Wesens können wir sie uns auch bei engagierten Anfänger:innen vorstellen, sofern sie von Beginn an eine kompetente Hundeschule besuchen. Ein Zuhause ohne (kleine) Kinder wäre für Timona ideal. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Timona kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Timona

What life with Timona looks like

Timona is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Timona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Timona?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Timona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Timona if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Timona, what they require (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 Timona already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Timona as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Timona isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Timona 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.
