How do I contact the shelter about Alexa?

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 Alexa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alexa 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 Alexa 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 Alexa 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 Alexa 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.

Alexa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

♀, born ca. 2021, social - friendly - active in Spain Alexa is a ca. 5-year-old Old German female German Shepherd with a shoulder height of ca. 65 cm. She was simply abandoned in an industrial area and brought to the animal shelter Siempre Contigo in Rota/Andalusia. There, she shows herself to be friendly towards the volunteer helpers, playful, active, and compatible with fellow animals. Only cats are not her friends. Unfortunately, she has a problem with her eyes, for which the animal shelter currently administers drops. She seems not to produce enough tear fluid herself. A vet here could certainly help her better. We are looking for a home for this active and loving female dog in a non-urban environment, preferably with a house and garden, and people who will take care of her and show her how wonderful life can be. Alexa is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and has tested negative for Mediterranean diseases. The adoption fee for Alexa is 460,-- Euro. If you are interested in Alexa, please apply using the contact form below. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix. Gets along with other dogs.

♀, geb. ca. 1/2021sozial - freundlich - aktiv in Spanien Alexa ist eine ca. 1/2021 geborene Altdeutsche Schäferhündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 65 cm. Alexa wurde einfach in einem Industriegebiet ausgesetzt, zum Glück in ihrer Not entdeckt und in das Tierheim Siempre Contigo in Rota/Andalusien gebracht. Dort zeigt sie sich freundlich den freiwilligen Helfern gegenüber, verspielt, lebhaft und verträglich mit Artgenossen. Nur Katzen sind nicht ihre Freunde. Leider hat Alexa ein Problem mit den Augen, wogegen man ihr im Tierheim derzeit Tropfen verabreicht. Sie scheint selbst nicht genug Tränenflüssigkeit zu produzieren. Sicher könnte ihr ein auf Augen spezialisierter Tierarzt besser helfen. Wir suchen daher für diese aktive und liebe Hündin dringend ein Zuhause oder eine kompetente Pflegestelle in nicht zu städtischer Umgebung, möglichst mit Haus und Garten, und Menschen, die sich mit ihr befassen und ihr zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Da wir nicht wissen, ob Alexa Schmerzen hat, sollte sie dringend nach Deutschland reisen, um eine fundierte Diagnose zu erhalten und ihr helfen zu können. Alexa ist bereits kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet worden. Sie befindet sich im Tierheim in Rota/Spanien. Die Schutzgebühr für Alexa beträgt 580 Euro.

About Alexa

What life with Alexa looks like

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

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.
