How do I contact the shelter about Favo?

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 Favo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Favo 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 Favo 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 Favo 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 Favo 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.

Favo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Favo is an extremely lively senior dog who has no idea that he’s no longer a puppy and that he can no longer see. Not only is he super active and always cheerful and friendly, but he’s also always on the lookout for new friends and someone to take him under their wing. Favo loves playing with other dogs, eating yummy dog treats, or following us around all day. His incredible energy and zest for life are simply contagious. Despite being found in a pitiful physical condition, he still needs to gain some weight. Despite his tough past, he hasn’t lost his trust in people. To his luck, this dream dog now just needs the perfect dream home. Of course, we know that his chances of having his very own dog bed aren’t exactly rosy, but one should never give up hope… Favo himself is the best example of that 🥰 Favo gets along famously with other dogs. Favo is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, has an EU Pass, and will be tested for Mediterranean diseases before travel arrangements.

DE·Show original

Favo ist ein äußerst lebensfroher Hundesenior, der nicht die geringste Ahnung davon hat, dass er eigentlich kein Welpe mehr ist und, dass er nichts mehr sehen kann. Er ist nicht nur super aktiv und stets gutgelaunt und freundlich, sondern er ist auch immer auf der Suche nach neuen Freunden und nach jemandem, in dessen Schatten er sich verwandeln kann. Favo liebt es, mit anderen Hunden zu spielen, leckere Hundekekse zu futtern oder uns den ganzen Tag auf Schritt und Tritt zu verfolgen. Seine unglaubliche Energie und Lebensfreude sind einfach ansteckend. Dabei wurde er in einem erbärmlichen körperlichen Zustand vorgefunden und muss noch weiter an Gewicht zunehmen. Trotz seiner schlimmen Vorgeschichte hat er das Vertrauen in Menschen nicht verloren. Zu seinem Glück fehlt diesem Traumhund jetzt nur noch das passende Traumzuhause. Wir wissen natürlich, dass seine Chancen auf ein eigenes Körbchen nicht gerade rosig sind, aber man soll die Hoffnung nie aufgeben … Favo selbst ist das beste Beispiel dafür 🥰 Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Favo bestens. Favo ist kastriert, vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, hat einen EU-Pass und wird vor der Ausreise auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet.

About Favo

What life with Favo looks like

Favo is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
