Adopt Estrella

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Estrella – welch ein trauriges Schicksal Wie kann man einem Hund so etwas antun? Ihr ganzes Leben hat Estrella bei ihrem Besitzer gelebt. Wahrscheinlich hat sie ihm treue Dienste bei der Jagd geleistet und sicher auch zahlreiche Welpen für ihn zur Welt bringen müssen. Jetzt ist sie alt, lästig und überflüssig für ihn. Zusammen mit zwei weiteren ähnlich alten Hunden hat er Estrella im Tierheim abgegeben und ihrem dortigen Schicksal überlassen. Den Fotos sieht man an, dass sie schon lange keine Pflege mehr bekommen hat – wenn überhaupt jemals. Offensichtlich musste sie schutzlos draußen leben und da das Wetter derzeit in Andalusien nass, kalt und extrem windig ist, sieht sie entsprechend verwahrlost und heruntergekommen aus. Soll dies nun die Endstation für Estrella sein? Hinter Gittern und auf Beton auf den Tod warten? Wo sind die Menschen mit dem ganz großen Herzen, die einem Hund wie Estrella die letzte Lebenszeit vergolden möchten? Die ihre Augen leuchten lassen wollen und die ihr vielleicht zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben eine Wertschätzung schenken? Auch wenn Estrella sicher nicht mehr ewig leben wird, wünschen wir ihr doch für ihre letzten Monate oder vielleicht doch noch Jahre ein weiches Körbchen, streichelnde Hände und sanfte Geborgenheit. Wenn Sie sich vorstellen können, Estrella diesen Liebesdienst zu schenken, dann melden Sie sich bei ihrer Vermittlerin. Hier gehts zu Estrellas Video

About Estrella

What life with Estrella looks like

Estrella is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Estrella, answered.

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