Trudy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born around May 2022. Gender: Female. Neutered: Yes Character: Friendly, open, very cuddly, playful, lively, gets along well with companions Size: Approximately 47 cm In shelter since: December 2022 A loving hello to all two-leggeds! I am Trudy, a friendly, young female dog looking for a Forever Home. Maybe my dream of my own family will come true soon – now that I have the chance to introduce myself. Before I was taken in by the shelter, I roamed the streets of Romania. Believe me, it wasn’t easy – daily searches for food, without a safe place to sleep. But that chapter is now behind me, and I hope a new, happier chapter will soon open up for me. At the shelter, I quickly won everyone’s hearts. I belong to the liveliest and friendliest dogs – always in a good mood, open to new things, and full of joy when someone pays attention to me. Even completely strangers I greet curiously and friendly, because I love being in the middle and finally belonging. Unfortunately, I currently have to spend my life in a kennel. For a human-oriented little girl like me, that’s hard – I miss the closeness, cuddle times, and especially the movement and variety. I long for a day-to-day life where I finally belong. You want to know how my future life should look? I wish for patient and loving people who are ready to show me their world step by step. You should also bring enough time for my two big hobbies: cuddling and playing! With me, an open and lively little girl-dog moves in – ready for adventures, but also for quiet moments on the couch. Of course, a soft dog bed, yummy food, and nice walks in nature shouldn’t be missing. Now it’s time for me to wait and hope that someone will soon say: “Trudy, pack your bags – your home is waiting!” If you are interested in Trudy, please fill out our Prospective Owner Form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Trudy is ready to travel to Germany and can travel legally with Traces. As Traces, we refer to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted for dogs over 12 months old before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Sandra B. has taken on the guardianship of Trudy, ensuring a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: ca. im Mai 2022 geboren. Geschlecht: weiblich. Kastriert: jaCharakter: freundlich, aufgeschlossen, sehr verschmust, verspielt, lebensfroh, verträglich mit ArtgenossenGröße: ca. 47 cmIm Shelter seit: Dezember 2022 Ein liebes Hallo an alle Zweibeiner!Ich bin Trudy, eine freundliche, junge Hundedame, die auf der Suche nach einem Für-Immer-Zuhause ist. Vielleicht erfüllt sich mein Traum von einer eigenen Familie ja schon bald – jetzt, wo ich mich hier vorstellen darf.Bevor ich im Shelter aufgenommen wurde, streunte ich auf den rumänischen Straßen umher. Glaubt mir, das war kein Zuckerschlecken – jeden Tag auf Futtersuche, ohne sicheren Schlafplatz. Doch dieses Kapitel liegt nun hinter mir, und ich hoffe, dass sich bald ein neues, glücklicheres öffnet.Im Shelter habe ich schnell alle Herzen erobert. Ich gehöre hier zu den lebensfrohesten und freundlichsten Hunden – immer gut gelaunt, offen für Neues und voller Freude, wenn mir jemand Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Selbst völlig fremde Menschen begrüße ich neugierig und freundlich, denn ich liebe es, mittendrin zu sein und endlich dazuzugehören.Leider muss ich mein Leben momentan in einem Zwinger verbringen. Für ein so menschenbezogenes Hundemädchen wie mich ist das schwer – mir fehlen die Nähe, die gemeinsamen Kuschelzeiten und vor allem auch die Bewegung und Abwechslung. Ich sehne mich sehr nach einem Alltag, in dem ich endlich dazugehören darf.Du möchtest wissen, wie mein zukünftiges Leben aussehen soll?Ich wünsche mir geduldige und liebevolle Menschen, die bereit sind, mir ihre Welt Schritt für Schritt zu zeigen. Außerdem solltet ihr genug Zeit für meine zwei großen Hobbys mitbringen: Kuscheln und Spielen! Mit mir zieht nämlich ein aufgeschlossenes und lebensfrohes Hundemädchen bei euch ein – bereit für Abenteuer, aber auch für ruhige Momente auf dem Sofa. Ein weiches Körbchen, leckeres Futter und schöne Spaziergänge in der Natur dürfen natürlich nicht fehlen.Jetzt heißt es für mich warten und hoffen, dass es schon bald jemand sagt: „Trudy, Köfferchen packen – dein Zuhause wartet!“ Wenn Sie Interesse an Trudy haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Trudy ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Sandra B. hat die Patenschaft für Trudy übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Trudy

What life with Trudy looks like

Trudy is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Trudy, answered.

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