HILDE

Labrador Retriever · Female · Senior · 10 years

HILDE Date of birth approx. 2015. Breed: Labrador mix Female Location: Azores (Portugal) Disability: Senior Food sponsorship possible Seeking a final home (Gnadenplatz) After more than 2 years behind bars, we had to take Hilde into a clinic as an emergency in December, when she was passing only blood, blood clots and pus instead of urine. First, her long-neglected bladder infection was treated with antibiotics. When blood still appeared in her urine from time to time, we arranged an ultrasound and additional urine tests. Struvite crystals were found in the urine; the ultrasound of the bladder yielded no further findings. With the right diet, she is currently stable. The little girl also brought along a tumor from her time at the Canil, which we have had removed over a large area and sent to the laboratory. It turned out to be a subcutaneous mast cell tumor. According to the histology, the risk of metastasis is low. Otherwise, her condition has improved significantly, and she is ready to begin her journey to a 🏡 Gnadenplatz (final home). We wish the sweet girl that she may spend her last time in a loving family. Hilde is about 10 years old, friendly and open toward people, and at the Canil she shared her kennel with a female dog and showed herself to be good-natured with others. Would you like to give Hilde a home? Then we look forward to hearing from you via our contact form.

About HILDE

What life with HILDE looks like

HILDE is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting HILDE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about HILDE?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw HILDE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt HILDE if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for HILDE, what they require (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 HILDE already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for HILDE. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if HILDE isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know HILDE 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.
