Alva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Gender: female neutered: yes Birth: 08.2022 Origin: Bulgaria Since in Wörrstadt: 16.04.2023 shoulder height/weight: currently 43 cm / 12 kg Breed: mixed breed Alva is a delicate, young female dog, open and approachable. She is well-tolerant of other dogs, though she can be a bit unsure in handling at first. She was recently separated from her brother and must now learn to stand on her own two feet. She hasn't seen much of the world yet, runs uncoordinated on the leash, and is still quite excited. She is looking for sensitive people who can gradually bring her everything she needs for a dog's life. A confident only dog would be a help to her. Gets along with other dogs.

Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Geburt: 08.2022 Herkunft: Bulgarien In Wörrstadt seit: 16.04.2023 Schulterhöhe/Gewicht: derzeit 43 cm / 12 Kg Rasse: Mischling Alva ist ein zartes, junges Hundemädel, die aufgeschlossen und zugänglich ist. Sie ist gut verträglich mit anderen Hunden auch wenn sie anfangs etwas unsicher im Umgang ist. Sie wurde gerade erst von ihrem Bruder getrennt und muss nun lernen auf eigenen Pfoten zu stehen. Sie kennt noch nicht viel von der Welt, läuft an der Leine noch unkoordiniert und ist noch recht aufgeregt unterwegs. Sie sucht einfühlsame Menschen, die ihr nach und nach alles nahe bringen was man so für ein Hundeleben braucht. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre ihr eine Hilfe.

About Alva

What life with Alva looks like

Alva is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Wörrstadt in Wörrstadt.

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 Alva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Wörrstadt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alva if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Wörrstadt 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 Alva 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 Alva 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 Tierschutz Wörrstadt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alva 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.
