Adopt Esmeralda

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Esmeralda – a heart on four paws looking for its home Just 15 days ago, Esmeralda was found by one of our volunteers – alone, with an unregistered microchip and without anyone searching for her. But those who get to know this wonderful female dog can hardly believe that such a beautiful companion is missed by no one. Esmeralda is an extraordinary companion: tolerant, self-assured, and incredibly friendly to everyone – whether human or dog. She exudes a natural calmness that immediately instills trust. It's clear she knows and loves life with humans. At the animal shelter, she shows her best side: attentive, loving, and always striving to do everything right. She knows exactly how to behave in an apartment, is house-trained, and walks perfectly on a leash. At the same time, she has a playful, joyful side – she romps around, she enjoys the moment, and yes, she seems to smile when she’s happy. Esmeralda embodies so many wonderful qualities that it’s impossible not to fall in love with her. She is not just a dog – she is a loyal soul waiting to find her place again. Who will give Esmeralda the home she so richly deserves? The animals are described based on their behavior at the animal shelter or in foster homes. This behavior may not be immediately apparent upon arrival. Some may initially react to the new situation with fearfulness. Animals from shelters all have a past, which is often less than pleasant, even cruel. This past cannot be shaken off overnight. They need time to settle in and build trust. Please be patient and allow your pet the necessary time!. This animal is microchipped.

Esmeralda – ein Herz auf vier Pfoten sucht ihr ZuhauseVor gerade einmal 15 Tagen wurde Esmeralda von einer unserer Volontärinnen gefunden – allein, mit einem unregistrierten Mikrochip und ohne jemanden, der nach ihr sucht. Doch wer sie kennenlernt, kann kaum glauben, dass diese wundervolle Hündin niemandem fehlt.Esmeralda ist eine außergewöhnliche Begleiterin: verträglich, selbstbewusst und dabei unglaublich freundlich zu allen – ob Mensch oder Hund. Sie bringt eine natürliche Gelassenheit mit, die sofort Vertrauen schafft. Man merkt ihr an, dass sie das Leben mit Menschen kennt und liebt. Im Tierheim zeigt sie sich von ihrer besten Seite: aufmerksam, liebevoll und stets bemüht, alles richtig zu machen.Sie weiß genau, wie man sich in einer Wohnung verhält, ist stubenrein und geht perfekt an der Leine. Gleichzeitig hat sie eine verspielte, lebensfrohe Seite – sie tobt, sie genießt den Moment, und ja, sie scheint regelrecht zu lächeln, wenn sie glücklich ist. Esmeralda vereint so viele wunderbare Eigenschaften in sich, dass man sie einfach ins Herz schließen muss.Sie ist nicht einfach nur ein Hund – sie ist eine treue Seele, die darauf wartet, endlich wieder anzukommen.Wer schenkt Esmeralda das Zuhause, das sie so sehr verdient?Die Tiere werden so beschrieben, wie sie sich im Tierheim oder auf der Pflegestelle verhalten. Dieses Verhalten zeigen sie nicht sofort bei Ankunft. Manche reagieren auch anfangs mit Ängstlichkeit auf die neue Situation. Tiere aus dem Tierschutz haben alle eine Vergangenheit, die meist wenig schön bis grausam war. Diese Vergangenheit lässt sich nicht von heute auf morgen abschütteln. Sie brauchen Zeit, um ankommen zu dürfen und Vertrauen fassen zu dürfen. Bitte haben Sie Geduld und lassen Sie Ihrem Tier die nötige Zeit!

About Esmeralda

What life with Esmeralda looks like

Esmeralda is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Aegean Dogs e.V. / FAZA Aegina in Berlin.

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 Esmeralda, answered.

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