Abuela

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Abuela, a already betagtere female dog, had the great fortune to travel from a Spanish animal shelter to a foster home in Germany. There, Abuela lives problemlessly with other dogs. The mixed-breed female dog is an incredibly gentle and loving canine soul. She shows very people-oriented behavior and enjoys the company of her humans. When meeting other dogs, Abuela approaches with a friendly and open demeanor. The dog grandmother is house-trained. During car rides, she displays a very relaxed behavior and is a pleasant companion. Over an appropriate period, Abuela can be left alone in the company of her pack. She is a great female dog who should now find her permanent place. Therefore, we are searching for a loving home for Abuela, where the female dog can spend her remaining years content and happy. On Abuela, a soft dog bed and much love should wait. The dear mouse would be happy to have canine company in her home. An existing garden would be an additional gift for Abuela. Abuela has a lens extraction and glaucoma in her right eye, as well as a beginning lens extraction in her left eye. The veterinarians advise against surgery; she is treated medicinally. Her heart goes out to the older dogs, and Abuela may take up her retirement home with you, then we look forward to your inquiry. Adopting an animal shelter dog always means taking on a special responsibility and can also present a challenge. The dogs bring a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations with them and require time to adjust to their new lives.

Abuela, eine bereits betagtere Hundedame, hatte das große Glück aus dem spanischen Tierheim auf eine Pflegestelle nach Deutschland reisen zu dürfen. Dort lebt Abuela problemlos mit anderen Hunden zusammen. Die Mischlingshündin ist eine unglaublich sanfte und liebevolle Hundeseele. Sie zeigt ein sehr menschenbezogenes Verhalten und genießt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen. Anderen Hunden begegnet Abuela mit einer freundlichen und offenen Haltung. Die Hundeomi ist stubenrein. Beim Autofahren zeigt sie ein sehr entspanntes Verhalten und ist eine angenehme Mitfahrerin. Über einen angemessenen Zeitraum kann Abuela in der Gesellschaft ihres Rudels alleine bleiben. Sie ist eine tolle Hündin, die nun ihren festen Platz finden sollte. Von daher suchen wir für Abuela nach einem liebevollen Zuhause, in dem die Hündin zufrieden und glücklich ihren letzten Lebensabschnitt verbringen darf. Auf Abuela sollten ein weiches Körbchen und viel Liebe warten. Die liebe Maus würde sich über Hundegesellschaft in ihrem Zuhause freuen. Ein vorhandener Garten wäre für Abuela ein zusätzliches Geschenk. Abuela hat eine Linsenlockerung/-abriss und Glaukom im rechten Auge sowie eine beginnende Linsenlockerung im linken Auge. Von einer Operation raten die Tierärzte ab. Sie wird medikamentös behandelt. Ihr Herz schlägt für die älteren Hunde und Abuela darf ihren Alterswohnsitz bei Ihnen beziehen, dann freuen wir uns über Ihre Anfrage. Die Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes bedeutet immer die Übernahme einer besonderen Verantwortung und kann auch zu einer Herausforderung werden. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und benötigen Zeit zur Eingewöhnung in ihr neues Leben.

About Abuela

What life with Abuela looks like

Abuela is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Abuela, answered.

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