How do I contact the shelter about Honour?

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

Can I adopt Honour 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 Honour 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 Honour 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 Honour 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.

Adopt Honour

Spanish Mastiff · Female · Adult · 4 years

Honour ID No.: 922150 Breed: Mastín Español Age: approx. 11/2020 Gender: female Shoulder height: approx. 79 cm Neutered/Spayed: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Honour (*approx. 11/2020) is a calm and balanced female dog—a gentle giant in the truest sense of the word, with her impressive shoulder height of about 79 cm. She is people-oriented and loves being petted, showing no difference between adults and children. Currently, she lives in a kennel with another similarly sized Mastín female dog and has gotten along well with her. We have not yet tested how she behaves around male dogs or smaller dogs, but we will do so soon. Honour loves walks and walks easily on a leash. In mid-November 2022, Honour was abandoned right outside our Spanish partner shelter Triple A (Marbella), along with her seven puppies, who were only one week old at the time. Honour was an exemplary mother, always caring lovingly for her little family. Now that nearly all of her puppies have been successfully rehomed, it’s Honour’s turn to find a new home—one that respects her breed-specific traits and where she can stay forever. Would you like to show Honour the world? Take her on long walks? Welcome her into your daily family life and let her be part of it? She will surely become a wonderful family dog and just needs a bit of time and patience to adjust to her new life. Loving children in the household are welcome, as long as they understand that a dog shouldn’t be crowded, disturbed while eating, and should be given quiet time. A securely fenced dog-safe garden would be ideal, where Honour can move around freely, enjoy the occasional sunbath, and get to know the neighborhood.

Honour ID-Nr: 922150 Rasse: Mastín Español Alter: ca. 11/2020 Geschlecht: weiblich Schulterhöhe: ca. 79 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Honour (*ca. 11/2020) ist eine ruhige und ausgeglichene Hündin und eine im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes mit ihrer imposanten Schulterhöhe von ca. 79 cm sanfte Riesin. Sie ist menschenbezogen und lässt sich gerne beschmusen. Dabei macht sie zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern keinen Unterschied. Sie lebt momentan mit einer etwa gleich großen Mastin-Hündin in einem Zwinger und hat sich gut mit ihr arrangiert. Wie sie sich gegenüber Rüden oder kleineren Hunden verhält, haben wir momentan noch nicht getestet, werden das aber bald nachholen. Honour liebt Spaziergänge und läuft problemlos an der Leine. Honour wurde Mitte November 2022 mitsamt ihren 7, erst gerade einmal einwöchigen Welpen, direkt vor unserem spanischen Partnertierheim Triple A (Marbella) ausgesetzt. Honour war eine vorbildliche Mutter, die sich stets liebevoll um ihre kleine Familie gekümmert hat. Nachdem nun fast alle ihrer Welpen erfolgreich vermittelt werden konnten, soll nun auch Honour die Chance bekommen, ein neues Zuhause zu finden, in dem man ihren rassetypischen Eigenschaften gerecht wird und wo sie für immer bleiben darf. Wollen Sie Honour die Welt zeigen? Sie mitnehmen auf langen Spaziergängen? Sie in Ihren Familienalltag integrieren und daran teilhaben lassen? Sie wird bestimmt ein toller Familienhund werden und braucht nur etwas Zeit und Geduld, um sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Liebe Kinder in der Familie sind willkommen, die schon wissen, dass man einen Hund nicht bedrängen, ihn beim Fressen nicht stören und ihm auch Auszeiten gönnen soll. Ein hundesicher eingezäunter Garten wäre toll, indem sich Honour frei bewegen, das ein oder andere Sonnenbad nehmen und dabei auch die Nachbarschaft kennenlernen kann. Dies ist aber keine unbedingte Voraussetzung für ihre

About Honour

What life with Honour looks like

Honour is a large adult spanish mastiff 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. 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.
