Yuma

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Yuma is a 57 cm female dog, born in June 2022, who makes an impression with her gentle and cautious nature. When she encounters new situations and people, she is initially reserved. She observes carefully and takes her time deciding whether she wants to approach. Throughout, she remains friendly. Yuma is never rude and never pushy; rather, she is a quiet, sensitive soul who needs security and clear guidance. Yuma has also only recently moved to the Vagabonzi shelter in Ploiești. There, she can finally learn that there are people who mean well by her. This is exactly what will help her open up further. For Yuma, we are hoping for an experienced foster home or a calm, structured home where she is given time to settle in and build trust. A confident first dog would be a great asset for her: a dog who shows her how wonderful life can be strengthens her self-confidence and helps her open up. Yuma takes good cues from other dogs and visibly benefits from clear, calm leadership. She is a female who joins in quietly when given space, and who can form a close bond once she has understood that people mean well by her. With patience, loving consistency, and a safe environment, Yuma will become a loyal companion you won't want to be without. Yuma is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and will be placed with a protection contract following a positive pre-adoption check. A note about our dogs: our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can continually reassess their behavior and development. These personal impressions help us greatly in conveying as accurate a picture as possible of each individual dog. However, we would like to point out that a dog may show itself differently in a new environment, with new people, new routines, and new impressions. This is entirely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs even open up faster at home and show sides of themselves that were not visible at the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but they are not a guarantee of any particular behavior in a new environment. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter, and what potential lies within it. We are convinced that with patience, understanding, and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Yuma ist eine 57 cm große Hündin, geboren im Juni 2022, die mit ihrer sanften und vorsichtigen Art berührt. Sie begegnet neuen Situationen und Menschen zunächst zurückhaltend, beobachtet genau und entscheidet in Ruhe, ob sie sich annähern möchte. Dabei bleibt sie stets freundlich – Yuma ist nie unhöflich, nie aufdringlich, sondern eine leise, feine Seele, die Sicherheit und klare Orientierung braucht.Auch Yuma ist erst vor Kurzem ins Vagabonzi‑Shelter nach Ploiești umgezogen. Dort darf sie endlich lernen, dass es Menschen gibt, die es gut mit ihr meinen! Und genau das wird ihr helfen, sich weiter zu öffnen. Für Yuma wünschen wir uns eine erfahrene Pflegestelle oder ein ruhiges, strukturiertes Zuhause, in dem man ihr Zeit gibt, anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre für sie ein großer Gewinn: Ein Hund, der ihr zeigt, wie schön das Leben sein kann, stärkt ihr Selbstvertrauen und hilft ihr, sich zu öffnen. Yuma orientiert sich gut an anderen Hunden und profitiert sichtbar von klarer, gelassener Führung.Sie ist eine Hündin, die sich still anschließt, wenn man ihr Raum lässt, und die sich eng binden kann, sobald sie verstanden hat, dass man es gut mit ihr meint. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und einem sicheren Umfeld wird Yuma zu einer treuen Begleiterin, die man nicht mehr missen möchte.Yuma ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt. Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Yuma

What life with Yuma looks like

Yuma is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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 Yuma, answered.

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