Fava

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Fava was emaciated and completely distraught when found on the street. We assume she once had a good home and was likely discarded by the heirs after the original owners passed away. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon… She is very people-oriented and affectionate, and she loves attention, seeking out contact with humans. Her greatest joy is cuddling in a cozy dog bed or on someone’s lap. Fava enjoys going for walks and walks well, but she doesn’t need to run a marathon. Fava gets along very well with other dogs and could easily be kept as a second dog. Her eyes are unfortunately poor, but her ears and, of course, her nose function perfectly, compensating for her visual impairment. Fava is a very friendly, cuddly, and calm female dog who desperately wants a home. The animal shelter routine and life in the kennel overwhelm her, and she becomes increasingly sad.

DE·Show original

Fava wurde abgemagert und vollkommen verstört auf der Straße gefunden. Wir gehen davon aus, dass sie einmal ein gutes Zuhause hatte und wahrscheinlich nach dem Tod der Besitzer von den Erben entsorgt wurde. Das ist leider keine Seltenheit… Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen und liebebedürftig. Sie freut sich so sehr über Aufmerksamkeit und sucht den Kontakt zu Menschen. Ihr größtes Glück sind Streicheleinheiten in einem kuscheligen Körbchen oder auf dem Schoß. Fava geht gerne spazieren und läuft schön mit. Einen Marathon braucht sie aber nicht mehr. Fava verträgt sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und könnte problemlos als Zweithund gehalten werden. Ihre Augen sind leider schlecht, aber die Ohren und natürlich die Nase funktionieren bestens und gleichen das perfekt aus. Fava ist eine sehr freundliche, verschmuste und ruhige Hündin, die sich so sehr ein Zuhause wünscht. Der Tierheim-Alltag und das Zwingerleben überfordern sie einfach und sie wird immer trauriger.

About Fava

What life with Fava looks like

Fava is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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 Fava, answered.

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