How do I contact the shelter about Alwin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alwin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alwin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Alwin 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 Alwin 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alwin 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.

Alwin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

♂, born ca. 05/2019, fröhlich - gesellig in Spain Alwin is a 7-year-old Bodeguerorüde with a shoulder height of 40cm. He lived for a long time in an orchard chained up, and his owner did not take care of him. He got food and water, and that was his life. An animal welfare worker saw this misery and tried, through a friend of the owner, to convince the owner to release the dog. After initially refusing, the owner eventually decided to give Alwin to a private animal shelter. Finally, Alwin got the chance for a better life. Now he eagerly waits in the Spanish animal shelter for his first family. He shows himself as a friendly, sociable dog who is happy to receive affection. We wish for Alwin people who are ready to give him a comfortable life, but also know that a Bodeguero with 7 years is far from being old and still has a lot of adventure spirit in him. This means that Alwin is looking forward to long walks where he can discover the world that was denied to him for too long. Alwin travels microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases to Germany. His current place of residence is Linares, Spain. The adoption fee for Alwin is 460 Euro.

♂, geb. ca. 05/2019fröhlich - geselligin Spanien Alwin ist ein 7-jähriger Bodeguerorüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von 40 cm. Er lebte lange Zeit angekettet in einer Obstplantage und sein Besitzer kümmerte sich nicht um ihn. Er bekam Futter und Wasser, das war sein Leben. Ein Tierschützer sah dieses Elend und versuchte, über einen Bekannten des Besitzers zu erwirken, dass dieser den Hund freigibt. Nach anfänglichem Weigern hat der Besitzer sich dann doch entschieden, Alwin einem privaten Tierheim zu übergeben. Endlich bekam Alwin nun die Chance auf ein schöneres Leben. Nun wartet er im spanischen Tierheim sehnsüchtig auf seine erste eigene Familie. Er zeigt sich als freundlicher, geselliger Hund, der sich über Zuwendung freut. Wir wünschen uns für Alwin Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm ein gemütliches Leben zu bereiten, aber auch wissen, dass ein Bodeguero mit 7 Jahren noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen gehört und viel Abenteuerlust in sich trägt. Das heißt, Alwin freut sich über ausgedehnte Spaziergänge, auf denen er die Welt entdecken darf, die ihm viel zu lange vorenthalten wurde. Alwin reist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet nach Deutschland. Sein derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort ist Linares, Spanien. Die Schutzgebühr für Alwin beträgt 460 Euro.

About Alwin

What life with Alwin looks like

Alwin is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An 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.
