Aurora

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Traits: insecure, active, athletic Suitable for: people/families with dog experience Weight: approx. 29 kg Location: Animais Como Nós, Portugal "Aurora" – an athletic beauty seeking people with heart and patience "Aurora" was born in January 2020, stands about 65 cm tall, and comes from a sad past. Our partner organization "Animais Como Nós" was asked for help – when she was rescued, she was emaciated, weak, and had lost all trust in people. Today "Aurora" has recovered physically and shows what an impressive dog she is: athletic, full of energy, and always ready for exercise. At the same time, she still has a lot to learn – both in dealing with people and in everyday life. She is insecure around strangers and needs time to build trust. With other dogs, however, she gets along excellently. She is sociable, playful, and well-balanced in a pack. A confident canine companion by her side would surely be a great help to her. For "Aurora" we are looking for dog-experienced, empathetic people with patience, time, and understanding. People who give her security, guide her consistently but lovingly, and show her step by step that the world can be beautiful too. ♥ Sponsorship Since we don't know how long "Aurora" still has to wait for her forever home, we also welcome sponsors who support her with a monthly donation. A sponsorship helps us finance her care, veterinary treatment, and training until she is finally allowed to move into her own home. We and our partner organization "Animais Como Nós" would be very grateful for a sponsorship. A heartfelt thank you from "Aurora" as well. If you would like to become a sponsor or help with a donation, please send us a message. Thank you very much – also on behalf of Aurora. • • •

Eigenschaften: unsicher, aktiv, sportlich Geeignet für: Personen/Familien mit Hundeerfahrung Gewicht: ca. 29 kg Aufenthaltsort: Animais Como Nós, Portugal „Aurora“ – sportliche Schönheit sucht Menschen mit Herz und Geduld „Aurora“ wurde im Januar 2020 geboren, ist ca. 65 cm groß und stammt aus einer traurigen Vergangenheit. Unser Partnerverein „Animais Como Nós“ wurde um Hilfe gebeten – als sie gerettet wurde, war sie abgemagert, kraftlos und hatte jegliches Vertrauen in Menschen verloren. Heute hat sich „Aurora“ körperlich erholt und zeigt, welch beeindruckende Hündin in ihr steckt: sportlich, energiegeladen und immer bereit für Bewegung. Gleichzeitig muss sie noch viel lernen – sowohl im Umgang mit Menschen als auch im Alltag. Fremden gegenüber ist sie unsicher und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich „Aurora“ dagegen ausgezeichnet. Sie ist gesellig, verspielt und ausgeglichen im Rudel. Ein souveräner Hundekumpel an ihrer Seite wäre sicher eine große Hilfe für sie. Für „Aurora“ suchen wir hundeerfahrene, einfühlsame Menschen mit Geduld, Zeit und Verständnis. Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit geben, konsequent, aber liebevoll führen und ihr Schritt für Schritt zeigen, dass die Welt auch schön sein kann. ♥ Patenschaft Da wir nicht wissen, wie lange „Aurora“ noch auf ihr Für-immer-Zuhause warten muss, freuen wir uns auch über Paten, die sie mit einer monatlichen Spende unterstützen. Eine Patenschaft hilft uns, ihre Versorgung, tierärztliche Betreuung und ihr Training zu finanzieren, bis sie endlich in ihr eigenes Zuhause ziehen darf. Wir und unser Partnerverein „Animais Como Nós“ würden sich sehr über eine Patenschaft freuen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön auch von „Aurora“. Wenn Sie Pate/Patin werden oder mit einer Spende helfen möchten, senden Sie uns bitte eine Nachricht an uns. Vielen Dank – auch im Namen von Aurora. • • •

About Aurora

What life with Aurora looks like

Aurora is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Portugal e.V. in Altfraunhofen.

An 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aurora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aurora?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Portugal e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aurora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aurora if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Portugal 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Aurora 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 Aurora 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 Pfotenhilfe Portugal e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aurora 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.
