Alba

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Alba, breed: mixed, age: 08/10/2022, sex: female (spayed), size: M (approx. 40cm-50cm shoulder height), at the shelter since: 6/28/2022 Sugarmouse Alba would love to find her forever home. The sensitive female dog loves being with people but needs some time to open up completely at first. Once she does, she seeks out physical contact and wants to crawl into someone's arms. We have noticed that Alba is more reserved around men than women, although this usually isn't a problem after just a few minutes.

Alba Rasse: Mischling Alter: 08.10.2022 Geschlecht: weiblich (kastriert) Größe: M (ca. 40cm- 50cm Schulterhöhe) Im Tierheim seit: 28.06.2026 Zuckermaus Alba möchte so gerne ihr Körbchen finden. Die sensible Hündin ist unheimlich gerne mit Menschen zusammen, braucht anfangs aber ein bisschen Zeit um sich vollkommen zu öffnen. Ist das passiert sucht sie gerne Körperkontakt und möchte am liebsten in einen hinein kriechen. Wir haben festgestellt, dass Alba bei Männern zurückhaltender reagiert als bei Frauen, dennoch ist das meist nach ein paar Minuten auch kein Problem mehr.

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Osterode in Germany.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alba, answered.

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