Alma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Alma does not wait at the animal shelter, but in a small private station in Hungary. There, a private animal rescuer takes care of her charges – as well as she can. But unfortunately, her health issues are now causing her trouble, and the feeding of the many dogs has become increasingly difficult. Therefore, we want to support and try to help some of their dogs to a new, better life – including Alma. Alma is the sister of Argo, whose parents are Tobias and Maszat. She was born together with her brother in the station. Unlike her brother, she brings a more shy, sensitive side. She is good with people, shows friendliness, but sometimes she simply doesn’t understand what is expected of her. No wonder, because Alma has not had much to learn from yet. In her dog group, she really comes into her own – there she is open, curious, and moves confidently. But if she is taken out of this familiar setting, her insecure side shows. Here, she needs people who take her by the paw with calmness, patience, and confident guidance and show her: You don’t have to be afraid, we do this together. Alma still has a lot to learn – leash work, everyday routines, the dog ABC... But she brings the best prerequisites to develop into a wonderful companion with the right people.

Alma war in einer kleinen privaten Station in Ungarn. Dort kümmerte sich eine engagierte Tierschützerin liebevoll um einige Hunde – doch mit der Zeit machten ihr gesundheitliche Probleme zu schaffen, sodass sie die Versorgung der Tiere nicht mehr allein bewältigen konnte. Als in unserem Partnertierheim Allatbarat Plätze frei wurden, durften die Hunde, darunter auch Alma, umziehen. Alma ist die Schwester von Argo, Ihre Eltern sind somit auch Tobias und Maszat und gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder in der Station geboren. Im Gegensatz zu ihrem Bruder bringt sie eine eher schüchterne, feinfühlige Seite mit. Sie ist gut händelbar, zeigt sich freundlich, aber manchmal versteht sie einfach noch nicht so recht, was man von ihr möchte. Kein Wunder, denn Alma hat bisher noch nicht viel kennenlernen dürfen. In ihrer Hundegruppe blüht sie richtig auf – dort ist sie offen, neugierig und bewegt sich sicher. Nimmt man sie allerdings aus diesem vertrauten Rahmen heraus, zeigt sich ihre unsicherere Seite. Doch genau hier braucht sie Menschen, die sie mit Ruhe, Geduld und souveräner Führung an die Pfote nehmen und ihr zeigen: Du musst keine Angst haben, wir machen das gemeinsam. Alma muss noch einiges lernen – Leine laufen, Alltagsroutinen, das Hunde-ABC... Aber sie bringt die besten Voraussetzungen mit, um sich mit den richtigen Menschen zu einer wunderbaren Begleiterin zu entwickeln.

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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. Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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 — Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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 Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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.
