Filo

Mixed Breed · Female

Filo is a small, cheerful female dog with a shoulder height of just about 33 cm. She is affectionate and social and is waiting for the right people to finally take notice of her. We wish Filo a home where she can be a real family member. Going for walks together, discovering new things, enjoying attention and then relaxing comfortably with her people. A normal dog life, which unfortunately is anything but self-evident in the animal shelter. With her cheerful nature and her manageable size, Filo already brings a lot. Now all that's missing is the most important part: a home that is truly hers.

DE·Show original

Filo ist eine kleine, fröhliche Hündin mit gerade einmal etwa 33 cm Schulterhöhe. Sie ist lieb und sozial und wartet darauf, dass endlich die richtigen Menschen auf sie aufmerksam werden. Für Filo wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem sie ein richtiges Familienmitglied sein darf. Gemeinsam spazieren gehen, Neues entdecken, Aufmerksamkeit genießen und danach gemütlich bei ihren Menschen entspannen. Ein ganz normales Hundeleben eben, das im Tierheim leider alles andere als selbstverständlich ist. Mit ihrer fröhlichen Art und ihrer handlichen Größe bringt Filo schon einiges mit. Jetzt fehlt nur noch der wichtigste Teil: ein Zuhause, das wirklich ihres ist.

About Filo

What life with Filo looks like

Filo is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung Portugal e.V. in Mühlheim am Main.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Filo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Filo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierrettung Portugal e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Filo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Filo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierrettung Portugal 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Filo 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 Filo 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 Tierrettung Portugal e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filo 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.
