Amelia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

As big as Amelia is, so is her heart. She is an incredibly friendly, happy, and simply charming young female dog. Age-appropriate, she loves to play with other dogs and just having fun. Amelia gets along very well with other dogs and could easily be rehomed as a second dog (though the size should match approximately). Kids love Amelia, but they should already be a certain age and size to be a good match for her stature. Amelia is people-oriented and very open, but of course, she is simply impressive…just because she sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog. ;-)<\n>

DE·Show original

So groß wie Amelia ist, ist auch ihr Herz. Sie ist eine unglaublich freundliche, fröhliche und einfach bezaubernde junge Hündin. Altersentsprechend liebt sie es mit anderen Hunden herumzutollen und einfach Spaß am Leben zu haben. Amelia versteht sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und könnte problemlos als Zweithund vermittelt werden (von der Größe sollte es allerdings in etwa passen). Kinder findet Amelia super, aber Kinder sollten schon ein gewisses Alter und Größe haben, um ihrer Statur gewachsen zu sein. Amelia ist menschenbezogen und sehr aufgeschlossen, aber natürlich ist sie durch ihre Größe einfach beeindruckend…gerade weil sie sich manchmal für einen Schoßhund hält. ;-)

About Amelia

What life with Amelia looks like

Amelia is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Amelia, answered.

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