Alma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Alma – young Dutch German Shepherd-mixed-breed female dog seeks her home Alma is a young female dog who arrived at the Spanish animal shelter together with another female dog. Due to their similar age and the joint arrival, we suspected that the two might be sisters. While her sister Fira already found a home, Alma continues to wait for her chance at the shelter. After Fira's departure, Alma was brought together with a male dog, with whom she currently shares a run. The two get along well, and Alma is slowly adapting to her new routine. As she has only been at the shelter for a short time, we are still learning a lot about her personality, habits, or her previous interactions with people and environmental stimuli. We will of course update her profile as we learn more about her character. As a Dutch German Shepherd-mixed-breed female dog, Alma is likely to have typical breed characteristics such as high intelligence, a willingness to learn, and an active nature. Dogs of this type are usually attentive, hardworking, and closely bonded to their trusted people. At the same time, they require clear, fair leadership as well as sufficient physical and mental stimulation. For Alma, we wish for a home with people who can take the time to get to know her and are willing to guide her step by step into her new life. Experience with active and intelligent dogs would be advantageous. We hope very much that Alma will soon have the same chance as her sister and find a loving, stable home where she can develop safely.

Alma – junge holländische Schäferhund-Mischlingshündin sucht ihr Zuhause Alma ist eine junge Hündin, die gemeinsam mit einer weiteren Hündin im spanischen Tierheim angekommen ist. Aufgrund ihres ähnlichen Alters und der gemeinsamen Ankunft haben wir vermutet, dass die beiden Schwestern sein könnten. Ihre Gefährtin Fira hatte bereits das Glück, ein Zuhause zu finden, während Alma weiterhin im Tierheim auf ihre Chance wartet. Nach der Trennung von Fira wurde Alma mit einem Rüden zusammengebracht, mit dem sie sich auch aktuell einen Zwinger teilt. Die beiden kommen gut miteinander aus, und Alma beginnt, sich langsam an ihren neuen Alltag zu gewöhnen. Da sie erst seit kurzer Zeit im Tierheim lebt, lernen wir vieles über ihren Charakter, ihre Gewohnheiten oder ihren bisherigen Umgang mit Menschen und Umweltreizen gerade erst kennen. Wir werden ihr Profil selbstverständlich entsprechend ergänzen, sobald wir mehr über ihre Persönlichkeit sagen können. Als holländische Schäferhund-Mischlingshündin bringt Alma vermutlich rassetypisch eine hohe Intelligenz, Lernbereitschaft und ein aktives Wesen mit. Hunde dieser Art sind in der Regel aufmerksam, arbeitsfreudig und eng an ihre Bezugspersonen gebunden. Gleichzeitig benötigen sie eine klare, faire Führung sowie ausreichend körperliche und geistige Auslastung. Für Alma wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, anzukommen, und bereit sind, sie Schritt für Schritt in ihr neues Leben zu begleiten. Erfahrung mit aktiven und intelligenten Hunden wäre dabei von Vorteil. Wir hoffen sehr, dass auch Alma bald die gleiche Chance bekommt wie ihre Schwester und ein liebevolles, stabiles Zuhause findet, in dem sie sich sicher entwickeln darf. Hier geht’s zu Almas Video

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alma?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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.
