Alba

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Our animal welfare colleagues learned of a remote location where puppies are repeatedly abandoned. Many of the puppies left there are run over or die because they are too young to survive without their mother. When our colleagues arrived on site, they found seven puppies of different ages and backgrounds. All seven were collected and taken away. The puppies have been housed in a newly built kennel on a large but remote property. Here they can grow up safely, but they do not get to know the world and have only limited contact with people. So far, all of them show the typical openness and playfulness of puppies, so it would be wonderful if they could soon move into a home or foster placement, where they could spend their critical socialization period in a varied environment, with loving, consistent guidance and training. Alba and her brother Strolch were born in mid-April and will grow to a medium size.

Unsere Tierschutzkollegen erfuhren von einem abgelegenen Ort an dem immer wieder Welpen ausgesetzt werden. Viele der dort ausgesetzten Welpen werden überfahren oder sterben, weil sie zu jung sind um ohne die Mutter zu überleben. Als unsere Kollegen vor Ort eintrafen, fanden sie sieben Welpen unterschiedlichen Alters und Abstammung. Alle sieben wurden eingesammelt und mitgenommen. Die Welpen wurden in einem neu errichteten Zwinger auf einem großen, aber abgelegenen Grundstück untergebracht. Hier können sie zwar in Sicherheit aufwachsen, lernen aber nichts von der Welt kennen und haben nur bedingt Kontakt zu Menschen. Bisher zeigen sich alle welpentypisch offen und verspielt, daher wäre es schön, wenn sie zeitnah in ein Zuhause oder auf eine Pflegestelle ziehen könnten, um ihre Prägephase in einem abwechslungsreichen Umfeld mit einer liebevollen, konsequenten Anleitung und Erziehung verbringen könnten. Alba und ihr Bruder Strolch sind Mitte April geboren und werden etwa mittelgroß.

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alba?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Waisenhunde e.V. 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Waisenhunde e.V. whether they will for Alba, what they require (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 Alba already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Waisenhunde e.V. lists Alba as not yet spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Waisenhunde e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alba isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Waisenhunde e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
