Eine tapfere Hundemama hatte ihre vier Welpen in einem Plastikrohr zur Welt gebracht – ihr einziger Schutz vor Wind, Wetter und der Einsamkeit der Felder. Dort versuchte sie, ihre Babys so gut es ging zu beschützen und großzuziehen. Zum Glück wurden sie rechtzeitig gefunden und von unserer Pflegestelle aufgenommen. Seitdem darf die kleine Familie endlich in Sicherheit leben. Die Welpen wachsen behütet auf, spielen, entdecken die Welt und entwickeln sich prächtig. Und mittendrin: Mama Bonita. Bonita ist eine ganz besondere Hündin. Trotz allem, was sie erlebt hat, zeigt sie sich als freundliche, offene und sehr liebevolle Seele. Sie hat sich rührend um ihre Welpen gekümmert und ihnen unter schwierigsten Umständen Geborgenheit geschenkt. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Sanftmut und Wärme in ihr steckt. In der Pflegestelle genießt Bonita inzwischen jede Streicheleinheit und die Aufmerksamkeit der Menschen. Sie zeigt sich neugierig, menschenbezogen und einfach unglaublich liebenswert. Bonita gehört zu den eher kurzbeinigen, kompakten Hunden, was ihr einen ganz besonderen Charme verleiht. Auch ihre Welpen haben diese kurzen Beinchen geerbt und werden vermutlich keine großen Hunde werden. Aufgrund ihres Körperbaus wäre ein ebenerdiges Zuhause oder eines mit Fahrstuhl für Bonita besonders schön – damit sie langfristig möglichst bequem und gelenkschonend leben kann. Nach all der Fürsorge, die sie ihren Welpen geschenkt hat, wünschen wir uns nun für Bonita Menschen, die auch ihr endlich Sicherheit, Liebe und ein echtes Zuhause schenken. Spaziergänge an der Seite ihrer Menschen. Und das Gefühl, endlich angekommen zu sein. Denn Bonita hat lange genug stark sein müssen – jetzt ist es Zeit, dass auch sie ihr Happy End findet. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Bonita

What life with Bonita looks like

Bonita is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Bonita, answered.

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