Uschi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

loving, clingy, compatible Our Uschi was found at a feeding station in Romania and had the good fortune to travel to us. With a bit of care and love, the pretty little duckling has become a beautiful swan :-). She is a graceful, tall, and particularly beautiful mixed-breed female dog who initially approaches strangers with a bit of skepticism. While she needed a long time to come closer a few months ago, she is now a real good friend after just three treats. With other dogs, Uschi is simply a dream! She is super compatible and is always our first choice when it comes to dog introductions – she brings an incredible ease but also authority into the encounters. Playful, cheerful, compatible, funny, cuddly – simply a really great little mouse. What she still finds difficult is the world outside our station. Here, she also needs support and practice. Walks are still a bit scary for her, but we are diligently working on them with her. But given that she was found on the street and this is now her reliable Safe Space, one can also understand that a bit better. Uschi needs experienced people who can provide her with security and support in situations where she needs it. We also wish for an existing confident doggy friend in her new home, with which she can orient herself. Whoever offers Uschi the time and support she surely needs at the beginning will get a great doggy friend who bonds closely, is friendly, and a real lucky break! Whether she knows and likes cats, we unfortunately cannot test. Uschi’s handler is very happy to answer any further questions and to help with an initial meet-and-greet.

lieb, anhänglich, verträglich Unsere Uschi wurde an einer Futterstelle in Rumänien gefunden und hatte das Glück zu uns reisen zu dürfen. Und mit etwas Fürsorge und Liebe ist aus dem hübschen kleinen Entchen ist ein wunderschöner Schwan geworden :- ) Sie ist eine grazile, hochbeinige und ganz besonders hübsche Mischlingshündin, die fremden Menschen im ersten Moment noch etwas skeptisch gegenüber tritt. Wo sie vor ein paar Monaten aber wirklich lange brauchte um näher zu kommen, ist sie heute nach 3 Leckerchen bereits eine richtig gute Freundin. Mit anderen Hunden ist Uschi einfach ein Traum! Sie ist super verträglich und immer unsere erste Wahl, wenn es darum geht, Hunde zu vergesellschaften - sie bringt eine unglaubliche Leichtigkeit aber auch Souveränität mit in die Begegnungen. Verspielt, fröhlich, verträglich, lustig, verschmust - einfach eine richtig tolle Maus. Was ihr noch schwer fällt ist die Welt außerhalb unserer Station. Hier braucht sie auch noch Unterstützung und Übung. Spaziergänge sind ihr immer noch etwas gruselig, die üben wir aber fleißig mit ihr. Aber nachdem sie auf der Straße gefunden wurde und das hier nun ihr verlässlicher Save Space ist, kann man das auch ein bißchen besser nachvollziehen. Uschi benötigt erfahrene Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit und Halt in Situationen geben, wo sie es benötigt. Wir wünschen uns ebenfalls einen vorhandenen souveränen Hundefreund in ihrem neuen Zuhause, an dem sie sich orientieren kann. Wer Uschi die Zeit und Unterstützung bietet, die sie anfangs ganz sicher benötigt, bekommt eine tolle Hundefreundin, die sich eng bindet, freundlich und verschmust ist und ein echter Glücksgriff! Ob sie Katzen kennt und mag, können wir leider nicht testen. Uschis Vermittlerin freut sich sehr, weitere Fragen zu beantworten und hilft auch bei einem ersten Kennenlern-Date.

About Uschi

What life with Uschi looks like

Uschi is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Uschi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Uschi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Uschi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Uschi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Uschi 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 Uschi 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Uschi 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.
