Afrodite

Dachshund · Female · Adult · 5 years

Zwergdackel Afrodite – der Name passt zu ihr! Afrodite ist eine wunderschöne sehr kleine und nur zweieinhalb Kilo leichte Dackelhündin. Zunächst recht schüchtern und vorsichtig erkundet sie gerade das für sie neue Umfeld. Kaum in unserem Tierheim angekommen und auf der Facebookseite des Tierheims präsentiert, laufen auch schon in großer Zahl Adoptionsangebote ein. Afrodite hat also schon eine richtige Fan-Gemeinde und insofern die ganz große Auswahl und kann demensprechend Wünsche äußern. Die kleine Dackeldame wünscht sich ein Zuhause in eher ruhiger Gegend. Ein rundum sicher eingezäunter Garten steht ebenfalls auf der Wunschliste. Zu kleinen Kindern oder großen Hunden möchte Afrodite lieber nicht ziehen, das würde ihr eher Angst machen. Außerdem wünscht sie sich natürlich wie alle Hunde Menschen, die Zeit für sie haben und ihr mit Geduld und Liebe ihr neues Leben nahebringen. Afrodite hat in ihrem bisherigen Leben wahrscheinlich noch nicht viel von der großen Welt kennengelernt. Da müssen also Vertrauen und Bindung erst einmal aufgebaut werden. Ein in der Größe zu ihr passender Hundefreund, der nicht zu wild und ungestüm ist, würde Afrodite sicher Freude bereiten, ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Viele Treppen sollte es tunlichst im neuen Zuhause nicht zu bewältigen geben, das ist bekanntlich nichts für den Dackelrücken. Eine Pflegestelle ist ihr in Deutschland zum Ende des Monats schon sicher, aber viel lieber würde sie natürlich gleich in ein endgültiges Zuhause ziehen. Sie erfüllen alle Wünsche, die wir und Afrodite haben? Dann bewerben Sie sich gerne per Mail bei ihrer Vermittlerin. Hier geht’s zu Afrodites Video

About Afrodite

What life with Afrodite looks like

Afrodite is a large adult dachshund dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe 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 Afrodite, answered.

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