Andorinha

Mixed Breed · Female

Andorinha (10 months/40 cm) is a super cute and playful young female dog. She is age-appropriate in terms of agility and fitness and is always up for fun. She loves people and other dogs equally. At first, she can be a bit reserved and new environments can make her a bit scared, but with a little patience and treats, she warms up very quickly. The little mouse just needs to be introduced to life outside of a cage with calmness and understanding. Understanding children are no problem.

Andorinha (10 Monate/40 cm) ist eine super niedliche und verspielte junge Hündin. Sie ist altersentsprechend agil, fit und für jeden Spaß zu haben. Sie liebt Menschen und andere Hunde gleichermaßen. Anfangs kann sie etwas zurückhaltend sein und neue Umgebungen machen ihr erstmal etwas Angst, aber mit etwas Geduld und Leckerchen legt sich das sehr schnell. Die kleine Maus muss einfach mit Ruhe und Verständnis an das Leben außerhalb eines Zwingers gewöhnt werden. Verständnisvolle Kinder sind kein Problem.

About Andorinha

What life with Andorinha looks like

Andorinha is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Andorinha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Andorinha?
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 Andorinha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Andorinha 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 Andorinha 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 Andorinha 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 Andorinha 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.
