How do I contact the shelter about Africa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Africa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Africa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Africa 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 Africa 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Africa 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.

Africa

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

♀, born ca. Jul 2023, affectionate - sociableIn Spain Africa is a approximately 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix female with a shoulder height of about 32cm. Africa was seen at a feeding station for homeless cats with 4 other dogs, including 2 pregnant females, sharing food with the cats. It is likely that the whole dog group had been abandoned there. Our dear animal lover drove immediately to the location as soon as she was informed about the abandoned animals. So all dogs were rescued. And now Africa and Jimmy are looking for a home, while the third dog has already been adopted in Spain and the pregnant females have been taken over by other associations. The two Cocker mixes show themselves in the animal shelter as friendly, gentle dogs that get along with other dogs, children and of course cats. We wish Africa loving people who will give her a cozy bed and with whom the affectionate dog can now discover the world. Africa comes vaccinated, chipped, spayed and tested for Mediterranean diseases to Germany. If you would like to give Africa a home, please contact us via the contact form. The deposit fee for Africa is 580 euros. Africa is currently in Seville/Spain ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V.. Created with Wix.com

♀, geb. ca. 07/2023anhänglich - geselligin Spanien Africa ist ein ca. 3jährige Cockerspaniel-Mixhündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 32cm. Africa wurde mit 4 weiteren Hunden, darunter 2 trächtigen Hündinnen an einer Futterstelle für heimatlose Katzen gesehen, wie sie sich das Futter mit den Katzen teilten. Vermutlich hatte man die ganze Hundegruppe dort ausgesetzt. Unsere liebe Tierschützerin fuhr sofort dorthin, sobald man sie über die ausgesetzten Tiere informiert hatte. So wurden alle Hunde gerettet. und nun suchen Africa und Jimmy ein Zuhause, während der dritte Hund bereits in Spanien adoptiert wurde und die trächtigen Hündinnen von anderen Vereinen übernommen wurden. Die beiden Cocker-Mixe zeigen sich im Tierheim als freundliche, sanfte Hunde, die mit anderen Hunden, Kindern und natürlich Katzen verträglich sind. Wir wünschen uns für Africa liebevolle Menschen, die ihr ein gemütliches Körbchen schenken und mit denen die anhängliche Hündin nun die Welt entdecken darf.

About Africa

What life with Africa looks like

Africa is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
