How do I contact the shelter about Cholda in Portugal?

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

Can I adopt Cholda in Portugal if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pro Dog International 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 Cholda in Portugal 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 Cholda in Portugal 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 Pro Dog International e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cholda in Portugal 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.

Cholda in Portugal

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Gender: male/neutered Age: born 01.01.2023 according to vet Weight: 14 kg (needs to lose a bit) Location: Shelter/Portugal compatibility with others: Social Cholda was abandoned and was very reserved and nervous at the beginning. When touched on the neck, he reacted fearfully. Nowadays, he is happy to see people he knows and to whom he has developed trust. He interacts little with other dogs but tolerates them. If they are too boisterous or intrusive, he growls at them. Since we do not know what the little man has experienced, we wish for Cholda a sensitive and quiet home where he can come at his own pace. He should be introduced to everyday things gently so that he is not overwhelmed by stimuli. Therefore, there should not be any small children in the household. It is worth noting that every shelter dog, especially considering its past, brings its own story. We can therefore never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living in Germany with you. Cholda can travel to a foster or permanent placement.

DE·Show original

Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Alter: geb. 01.01.2023 lt. Tierarzt Gewicht: 14 kg (muss etwas abnehmen) Standort: Shelter/Portugal Verträglichkeit: Sozial Cholda wurde ausgesetzt und war zu Beginn sehr reserviert und nervös. Bei Berührungen am Hals reagierte er ängstlich. Mittlerweile freut er sich, wenn er Menschen sieht, die er kennt und zu denen er Vertrauen gefasst hat. Mit anderen Hunden interagiert er wenig, duldet sie jedoch. Sind sie zu stürmisch oder aufdringlich, knurrt er sie ab. Da wir nicht wissen, was der kleine Mann alles erlebt hat, wünschen wir uns für Cholda ein einfühlsames und ruhiges Zuhause, wo er in seinem Tempo ankommen kann. Er sollte behutsam mit den Dingen des Alltags vertraut gemacht werden, damit er nicht mit Reizen überfordert wird. Deswegen sollten kleine Kinder im Haushalt nicht vorhanden sein. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Cholda kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

About Cholda in Portugal

What life with Cholda in Portugal looks like

Cholda in Portugal is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Dog International e.V. in Talkau.

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.
