Alvaro

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Alvaro's motto: Life is beautiful with just three legs! The handsome male dog was found in a street ditch. Fortunately, he was discovered in time, or he wouldn't have survived. Unfortunately, his left hind leg was irreparably injured and had to be amputated. As if Alvaro knew he had narrowly escaped death, he clearly enjoys his life! To make his adventures easier, he now also has a wheelchair, with which he can move around very nimbly. The ideal new home for Alvaro should have as few stairs as possible and a garden. Larger children and fellow animals wouldn't be a problem for Alvaro, because after all, everyone can play wonderfully together.

Alvaro ❤️ – eine zweite Chance auf vier… na gut, auf drei Beinen! Verletzt und hilflos wurde der wunderschöne Alvaro im Straßengraben gefunden. Zum Glück kam die Hilfe rechtzeitig – sonst hätte er es wohl nicht geschafft. Sein linkes Hinterbein war leider nicht mehr zu retten und musste amputiert werden. Man könnte meinen, Alvaro weiß ganz genau, dass er dem Tod von der Schippe gesprungen ist – er genießt sein Leben! Jetzt fehlt Alvaro nur noch seine eigene Familie, die ihm zeigt, wie schön eine zweite Chance sein kann! Für längere Unternehmungen hat er einen eigenen Rollstuhl bekommen. Der schlaue Bub hat den Dreh schon raus und saust damit richtig flott durch die Gegend! Für Alvaro suchen wir ein Zuhause mit möglichst wenigen Treppen und einem Garten. Größere Kinder und Artgenossen dürfen gerne dabei sein – denn gemeinsam spielen macht schließlich doppelt Spaß. quirlig, aufgeweckt, neugierig, lernwillig, frech, freundlich, verschmust, unerzogen, ein absolut liebenswerter „Quatschkopf “ 🙂 verträglich nach Sympathie, verspielt

About Alvaro

What life with Alvaro looks like

Alvaro is a mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Feucht in Feucht.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alvaro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alvaro?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Feucht handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alvaro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alvaro if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Feucht whether they will for Alvaro, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alvaro already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierheim Feucht lists Alvaro as microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Feucht, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alvaro isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Feucht about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alvaro 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.
