Agripina

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Agripina is now approximately 9 years old … she spent 7 years in a no-approach enclosure at an animal shelter … there has unfortunately never been a request for Agripina. We really don't understand why. Agripina is very friendly, outgoing, and gets so excited about any attention. But she is unobtrusive, black, and doesn't have a sweet fluff coat… still, she would enrich any new home. After a life in an animal shelter, of course, she would need some time to adjust to her new life, but Agripina is outgoing and open-minded and would thank her new family a thousand times with her loving nature. She is compatible with other dogs and could be rehomed as a second dog. Older children who give her a moment to arrive are naturally no problem. We would be very happy if Agripina finally got her own home after all these years.

Agripina ist mittlerweile ca. 9 Jahre alt … davon hat sie 7 Jahre in einem Tierheimzwinger ohne Ansprache verbracht … Für Agripina gab es leider NIE eine Anfrage. Wir verstehen wirklich nicht wieso. Agripina ist sehr freundlich, zutraulich und verträglich und freut sich so sehr über jegliche Aufmerksamkeit. Aber sie ist unauffällig, schwarz und hat auch kein süßes Wuschelfell…dennoch würde sie jedes neue Zuhause bereichern. Nach einem Dasein im Tierheim müsste sie natürlich mit etwas Geduld in ihr neues Leben eingeführt werden, aber Agripina ist zutraulich und aufgeschlossen und wird es tausendfach mit ihrer lieben Art danken. Sie ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden und könnte gerne als Zweithund vermittelt werden. Ältere Kinder, die sie in Ruhe ankommen lassen sind natürlich kein Problem. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Agripina nach all den Jahren doch noch ein eigenes Zuhause bekommen würde.

About Agripina

What life with Agripina looks like

Agripina is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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 Agripina, answered.

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