Hilal

Mixed Breed · Female

When going for a walk, it's nice to have some company now and then - and so, in December, a young man didn't mind at all when a friendly young lady offered to accompany him somewhere in the middle of nowhere. However, the young animal protector naturally wondered how a loving and beautiful female dog like our two-year-old (as of 01/2022) Hilal could have come all alone into the wilderness. Since Hilal definitely didn't want to stay behind and there were no indications of where she belonged, the hiker took his new friend with him and handed her over in Linares to the caring hands of ArcoNatura. There, Hilal was naturally first checked for a microchip, the local police stations were informed about the extremely nice new addition, and a veterinarian also checked just to be sure that everything is okay with Hilal. Even after a month, no one has asked about the funny Strubbel-Terrier lady, and now it's time for the lovely female dog to find a new home. Until then, Hilal will live with an experienced foster family, and she clearly shows that she knows well how to live around the house. Hilal is a tender and calm princess, but she can really let loose when someone has time to play with her. She proves great qualities as a couch cushion and hot water bottle during shared TV evenings and loves beautiful walks to make new friends and explore and conquer the world. Our friendly snuggle ball is looking for a loving family that would like to spend many more beautiful years with her. Hilal is uncomplicated and modest, beautifully built, and a real treasure ... it shouldn't be so hard to give her a second chance to become someone's best friend. Now it's up to you ...

Wenn man eine Wanderung macht, hat man hin und wieder gerne nette Gesellschaft – und so fand es ein junger Mann im Dezember gar nicht unangenehm, dass sich ihm irgendwo im Nirgendwo eine freundliche junge Dame als Wegbegleiterin anbot. Allerdings fragte der Nachwuchstierschützer sich natürlich schon, wie eine liebe und hübsche Hündin wie unsere zweijährige (Stand 01/2022) Hilal vollkommen allein in die Einöde gekommen ist. Da Hilal auf keinen Fall zurückbleiben wollte und es auch keinerlei Hinweis darauf gab, wo sie hingehören könnte, nahm der Wandersmann seine neue Freundin eben mit und übergab sie in Linares in die liebevollen Hände der ArcoNatura. Dort wurde Hilal selbstverständlich erst einmal auf einen Chip untersucht, man informierte die örtlichen Polizeistationen über den extrem netten Neuzugang und auch ein Tierarzt überprüfte sicherheitshalber, dass mit Hilal alles in Ordnung ist. Auch nach einem Monat hat niemand nach der witzigen Strubbel-Terrier-Lady gefragt, und jetzt ist es Zeit, dass die liebenswerte Hündin ein neues Zuhause findet. Bis es soweit ist, darf Hilal bei einer erfahrenen Pflegefamilie wohnen, und sie zeigt deutlich, dass sie das Leben in und ums Haus herum gut kennt. Hilal ist eine zärtliche und ruhige Prinzessin, die aber richtig aufdrehen kann, wenn jemand Zeit hat, mit ihr zu toben. Sie beweist tolle Qualitäten als Sofakissen und Wärmflasche während gemeinsamer Fernsehabende und liebt gleichermaßen schöne Spaziergänge, um neue Freundschaften zu schließen und die Welt zu entdecken und zu erobern. Unsere freundliche Knutschkugel sucht eine liebe Familie, die gern noch viele schöne Jahre mit ihr teilen möchte. Hilal ist unkompliziert und bescheiden, bildhübsch und ein echtes Goldstück … es sollte doch nicht so schwer sein, ihr eine zweite Chance zu verschaffen, jemandes allerbeste Freundin zu werden. Jetzt liegt es an Ihnen …

About Hilal

What life with Hilal looks like

Hilal is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Hilal, answered.

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