How do I contact the shelter about Alma?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alma if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 Alma 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 Alma 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alma 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.

Alma

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

ALMA - Loyal soul in a plush wolf-look: Young female dog has spent her entire life in the shelter. The beautiful ALMA is eagerly waiting in the municipal animal shelter to finally be discovered by her loving humans! At 1 year and 10 months (born around 11/2024), the pretty dog has sadly spent her entire life behind cage bars. She has grown up in the shelter and so far only knows the dull shelter routine - all the more she longs to finally get to know the big world outside the bars. Optically she is a dreamily beautiful eye-catcher: With her dense, soft fur in a natural agouti/wolf look, the darker shades on the muzzle and her loyal, brown button eyes she attracts every glance. With her perfect medium size of approx. 45 cm shoulder height she is a great companion for beautiful walks and extensive cuddle sessions. Characteristically the young dog shows herself as extremely lively, friendly and open-minded despite growing up in the shelter. Since she has never been allowed to experience life in a house, the dog basics (such as house training, leash training and household noises) must be practiced with loving patience step by step with her. ALMA shows herself to be compatible and social with other dogs in the shelter. ALMA travels to her new home vaccinated, chipped and with an EU pet passport after a positive preliminary inspection. Friendly, playful, open-minded ✓ A home with a garden ✓ Experienced dog people ✓ Gladly to another dog ✓ Wants to live rurally - No small children in the household - No urban environment ALMA was taken in as a puppy in the public shelter. We know nothing about her background. Help Alma find a home - share this with your friends ❤️

Im Shelter aufgewachsen, bereit für die Welt – wer schenkt ALMA ihr erstes echtes Zuhause? 🍀 ALMA – Treue Seele im plüschigen Wolfs-Look: Junge Hündin hat ihr ganzes Leben im Shelter verbracht Die wunderschöne ALMA wartet im städtischen Tierheim sehnsüchtig darauf, endlich von ihren Herzensmenschen entdeckt zu werden! Mit ihren 1 Jahr und 10 Monaten (geboren ca. 11/2024) hat die hübsche Hündin traurigerweise ihr gesamtes bisheriges Leben hinter Zwingerstäben verbracht. Sie ist im Shelter großgeworden und kennt bisher nur den tristen Tierheim-Alltag – umso mehr wünscht sie sich, endlich die große Welt außerhalb der Gitter kennenzulernen. Optisch ist sie ein traumhaft schöner Hingucker: Mit ihrem dichten, weichen Fell im naturnahen Agouti-/Wolfs-Look, den dunkleren Schattierungen an der Schnauze und ihren treuen, braunen Knopfaugen zieht sie jeden Blick auf sich. Mit ihrer perfekten mittleren Größe von ca. 45 cm Schulterhöhe ist sie eine tolle Begleiterin für schöne Spaziergänge und ausgiebige Schmusestunden. Charakterlich zeigt sich die junge Hündin trotz ihres Aufwachsens im Shelter als überaus lebensfroh, freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Da sie das Leben in einem Haus noch nie kennenlernen durfte, muss das Hunde-Einmaleins (wie Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und Haushaltsgeräusche) mit liebevoller Geduld schrittweise mit ihr geübt werden. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich ALMA im Shelter verträglich und sozial. ALMA reist nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft, gechippt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause. Freundlich, verspielt, aufgeschlossen ✓ Ein Zuhause mit Garten ✓ Erfahrene Hundemenschen ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt - Kein städtisches Umfeld ALMA wurde als Welpe in dem öffentlichen Shelter aufgenommen. Über ihre Vorgeschichte wissen wir nichts. Hilf Alma, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

An young 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.
