How do I contact the shelter about Gorda?

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

Can I adopt Gorda if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helfende Hände 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 Gorda 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 Gorda 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 Helfende Hände e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gorda 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.

Gorda

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 6 years

Gorda ID number: 1052265 Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 01.01.2020 Gender: female Shoulder height: 65 cm Neutered/Spayed: Yes Accommodation / Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Gorda - a sensitive soul seeks loving people Gorda (born 01.01.2020, 65 cm) is a beautiful German Shepherd dog with breathtaking long hair and a tail to admire. If life had had other plans for her, she might have become a true beauty queen at dog shows. However, her path led her to the Triple A animal shelter in Marbella. One day, a man simply sat on a bench in front of the shelter with Gorda on a leash and told us he wanted to give her up because he no longer wanted her. In the first months with us, Gorda was very nervous, insecure, stressed, and reacted strongly to other dogs. Therefore, we gave her deliberately a lot of time to get used to things before we started looking for her new home. Now we finally see her true and beautiful character. Gorda is one of those dogs that teach you that love, patience, and time can really change everything. At first, walking her was not easy, but thanks to the dedicated work of her caregivers and the strong bond with our committed volunteers, she has blossomed in the most beautiful way. Today, she is a completely different dog. She walks calmly on the leash, no longer reacts to other dogs when passing by, and pays close attention to the person by her side. Gorda is looking for a person who does not expect a Golden Retriever who instantly loves every stranger unconditionally. Gorda is a dog with a soul and a unique personality. She needs to get to know you, and the human being also needs to take the time to build a real relationship with her, just as we do with human friendships. Once you have invested this valuable time, she will respond perfectly to her name. Even if another dog barks at the fence, she trusts you, listens to you, and comes back to you immediately. It is wonderful to watch how much she enjoys her walks, always attentive, always nearby, with a sweet look that radiates pure gratitude. Gorda nurtures her bond with people in an incredibly touching way. If you move away a bit during free running play, she turns around immediately, looks for you, and runs joyfully towards you. So beautiful she is on the outside, she is even more beautiful on the inside. She is gentle, sensitive, intelligent, and truly something special. For this loyal companion, we are looking for experienced dog people who appreciate all that she has already mastered. Who is ready to give Gorda the loving home she so greatly deserves? Gorda is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and has an EU pet passport. Upon departure, she has been tested for Mediterranean diseases as well as dewormed and treated for fleas. Vaccinations Yes Mediterranean check Yes Microchip Yes Diseases None known Disability No Protection fee 500 € including transport Contact person Larissa Spörl Phone: Email: Inquiry form

Gorda ID-Nr: 1052265 Rasse: Schäferhund Mischling Alter: 01/2020 Geschlecht: weiblich Schulterhöhe: 65 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Gorda – sensible Seele sucht liebevolle Menschen Gorda (geb. 01/01/2020, 65 cm) ist eine wunderschöne Schäferhund Hündin mit atemberaubend langem Fell und einer Rute zum Bewundern. Hätte das Leben andere Pläne für sie gehabt, wäre sie vielleicht eine wahre Schönheitskönigin auf Hundeausstellungen geworden. Doch ihr Weg führte sie ins Tierheim Triple A in Marbella. Eines Tages saß einfach ein Mann mit Gorda an der Leine auf einer Bank vor dem Tierheim und teilte uns mit, dass er sie abgeben möchte, da er sie nicht mehr haben will. In den ersten Monaten bei uns war Gorda sehr nervös, unsicher, gestresst und reagierte stark auf andere Hunde. Wir haben ihr daher ganz bewusst viel Zeit zum Ankommen gegeben, bevor wir uns auf die Suche nach ihrem neuen Zuhause machen. Nun sehen wir endlich ihren wahren und wunderschönen Charakter. Gorda gehört zu den Hunden, die einem beibringen, dass Liebe, Geduld und Zeit wirklich alles verändern können. Anfangs war das Gassigehen nicht leicht, aber dank der hingebungsvollen Arbeit ihrer Pfleger und der starken Bindung zu unseren engagierten Helfern ist sie auf die schönste Weise aufgeblüht. Heute ist sie ein völlig anderer Hund. Sie läuft ruhig an der Leine, reagiert beim Vorbeigehen nicht mehr auf andere Hunde und achtet sehr auf die Person an ihrer Seite. Gorda sucht einen Menschen, der keinen Golden Retriever erwartet, der sofort jeden Fremden bedingungslos liebt. Gorda ist ein Hund mit Seele und einer ganz eigenen Persönlichkeit. Sie muss dich erst kennenlernen, und auch der Mensch muss sich die Zeit nehmen, eine echte Beziehung zu ihr aufzubauen, genau wie wir es bei menschlichen Freundschaften auch tun. Sobald du diese wertvolle Zeit investiert hast, hört sie perfekt auf ihren Namen. Selbst wenn ein anderer Hund am Zaun bellt, vertraut sie dir, hört auf dich und kommt sofort zu dir zurück. Es ist wunderbar zu beobachten, wie sehr sie ihre Spaziergänge genießt, immer aufmerksam, immer in der Nähe und mit einem süßen Blick, der pure Dankbarkeit ausstrahlt. Gorda pflegt ihre Bindung zu Menschen auf eine unglaublich berührende Art. Wenn man sich im Freilauf beim Spielen etwas entfernt, dreht sie sich sofort um, sucht nach dir und rennt freudig auf dich zu. So schön sie von außen ist, von innen ist sie noch viel schöner. Sie ist sanft, sensibel, intelligent und wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes. Für diese loyale Begleiterin suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die all das zu schätzen wissen, was sie bereits gemeistert hat. Wer ist bereit, Gorda das liebevolle Zuhause zu schenken, das sie so sehr verdient? Gorda ist geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und besitzt einen EU Heimtierausweis. Bei Ausreise ist sie auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet sowie entwurmt und entfloht. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Handicap nein Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl.

About Gorda

What life with Gorda looks like

Gorda is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

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.
