Xena

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Xena, born approximately June 2022, spayed, approximately 65 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since November 2025. Xena was found on the street and is an impressive female dog with a calm, powerful character. She appears confident, composed and at the same time very gentle in her interactions. She enjoys closeness and cuddling - however, the smells outside are often more exciting, and she then takes her time to sniff and explore. Xena's cropped ears make her appear older at first glance, but she is simply a strong, self-assured female dog with a lot of charisma. She is large and strong (approximately 45 kg), but remains friendly and manageable if approached calmly and clearly. Xena also gets along well with other dogs in the shelter. She has a shortened tail. This does not cause any health problems. This does not prevent her from being exported to Switzerland. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels with a microchip and vaccinations (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites upon arrival at 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 domestic 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.

03/2026 Xena, geboren ca. 06/2022 kastriert, ca. 65 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 11/2025 Xena wurde auf der Straße gefunden und zeigt sich als beeindruckende Hündin mit ruhigem, kraftvollem Charakter. Sie wirkt souverän, gelassen und zugleich sehr sanft im Umgang. Nähe und Kuscheln mag sie – draußen sind die Gerüche jedoch oft noch spannender, dann nimmt sie sich gerne Zeit zum Schnüffeln und Erkunden. Durch ihre kupierten Ohren wirkt Xena auf den ersten Blick älter, dabei ist sie einfach eine starke, selbstbewusste Hündin mit viel Ausstrahlung. Sie ist groß und kräftig (ca. 45 kg), bleibt dabei aber freundlich und gut händelbar, wenn man ihr ruhig und klar begegnet. Auch mit anderen Hunden im Shelter kommt Xena gut zurecht. Sie hat eine verkürzte Rute. Diese bereitet keinerlei gesundheitliche Beschwerden. Eine Einreise in die Schweiz ist dadurch nicht möglich. 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 Xena

What life with Xena looks like

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Xena, answered.

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