How do I contact the shelter about Esperanza?

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

Can I adopt Esperanza if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Esperanza 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 Esperanza 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Esperanza 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.

Esperanza

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

♀, born ca. 10/2023, social - lovable - active In Spain, Esperanza is a Podenco Andaluz female born around October 2023, with a shoulder height of approximately 45 cm. Esperanza was discovered alone and abandoned in a very poor and critical condition; emaciated to the bone, so thin that she was thought to be a puppy. She was most likely abandoned and left to fend for herself. Very undernourished, dehydrated, and exhausted, she came to the local animal shelter. Thanks to the care and support there, she recovered well. Since then, the loving female dog has been eagerly waiting for a loving and suitable home and a cozy warm dog bed to live in security and well-being, and be happy. The cute, active, and lovable dog is now looking for her final happiness, dedicated people who have a lot of time for her, challenge and encourage her, teach her the basics of dog training with calmness and patience, ideally combined with regular visits to the dog school, and integrate her actively into their daily lives, where Esperanza finally experiences the affection, love, and care she has not had before. She is compatible with dogs of both sexes. She would be happy to be with other socially compatible dogs, ideally of similar age and size. A loving home is sought for Esperanza with active people who have a lot of time for her, as well as a desire and joy in activities with her, and discover the world together, because she has probably not yet known much and is not a couch potato. A rural home and environment would be desirable and ideal for her. Cats and/or small animals should not be present in her future home. Esperanza will be neutered, vaccinated, chipped, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. She is located in an animal shelter in Andalusia/Spain. The deposit for Esperanza is 580 euros.

♀, geb. ca. 10/2023sozial - liebenswert - aktivin Spanien Esperanza ist eine ca. 10/2023 geborene Podenco Andaluz Hündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 45 cm. Esperanza wurde einsam und verlassen in einem sehr schlechten und kritischen Zustand entdeckt; abgemagert bis auf die Knochen, so dünn, dass man sie für einen Welpen hielt. Sie wurde höchstwahrscheinlich ausgesetzt und sich selbst überlassen. Sehr unterernährt, dehydriert und erschöpft kam sie ins hiesige Tierheim. Dank der dortigen Pflege und Versorgung erholte sie sich gut. Seither wartet die liebe Hündin sehnlichst auf ein liebevolles adäquates Zuhause und ein gemütliches warmes Hundebettchen, um in Geborgenheit und Wohlbefinden, glücklich leben zu können. Die niedliche, aktive und liebenswerte Hündin sucht nun zu ihrem endgültigen Glück, engagierte Menschen, die viel Zeit für sie haben, sie fordern und fördern, ihr das Hundeeinmaleins mit Ruhe und Geduld beibringen, bestenfalls verbunden mit regelmäßigen Besuchen in der Hundeschule und sie aktiv in ihren Alltag integrieren, bei denen Esperanza endlich die Zuneigung, Liebe und Fürsorge erfährt, die sie bisher nicht hatte. Mit Artgenossen beiderlei Geschlechts ist Esperanza bestens kompatibel. Sie könnte gern und gut zu weiteren sozialverträglichen Artgenossen, bestenfalls in ähnlichem Alter und ähnlicher Größe, vermittelt werden. Für Esperanza wird ein liebevolles Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen gesucht, die viel Zeit für sie besitzen, sowie Lust und Freude an gemeinsamen Aktivitäten mit ihr haben und zusammen mit ihr die Welt entdecken, denn sie hat vermutlich bisher noch nicht viel kennengelernt und ist auch kein Couchpotato. Ein eher ländliches Zuhause und Umfeld wäre für sie wünschenswert und ideal. Katzen und/oder Kleintiere sollten in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause nicht vorhanden sein. Esperanza wird kastriert, geimpft, gechipt und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet vermittelt. Sie befindet sich in einem Tierheim in Andalusien/Spanien. Die Schutzgebühr für Esperanza beträgt 580 Euro. Sie möchten Esperanza ein liebevolles Zuhause geben?

About Esperanza

What life with Esperanza looks like

Esperanza is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
