How do I contact the shelter about Joana?

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

Can I adopt Joana 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Joana 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 Joana 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 Joana 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 Joana

Mixed Breed · Female

Joana is an initially more cautious female dog who reacts shyly towards humans at first. The shelter life and lack of positive experiences have shaped her insecurity. Despite this, Joana shows herself to be a loving and social female dog who is never pushy and simply needs some time to build trust. She gets along well with other dogs and often looks up to them for guidance. An independent only dog could therefore help her feel more secure in a new home faster. We wish Joana a quiet and understanding home without high expectations. People who can show her step by step that she is finally safe and loved. With patience and empathy, Joana will definitely thaw out more and more. ✨ She could be microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for leishmaniasis and MMK, and have a valid EU Pass for the next possible transport.

Joana ist eine eher vorsichtige Hündin, die dem Menschen gegenüber anfangs noch schüchtern reagiert. Das Tierheimleben und fehlende positive Erfahrungen haben ihre Unsicherheit geprägt. Trotzdem zeigt sich Joana als liebe und soziale Hündin, die niemals aufdringlich ist und einfach etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut und orientiert sich gerne an ihnen. Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihr daher helfen, sich in einem neuen Zuhause schneller sicher zu fühlen.Für Joana wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause ohne große Erwartungen. Menschen, die ihr Schritt für Schritt zeigen, dass sie endlich sicher ist und geliebt wird. Mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen wird Joana ganz bestimmt immer mehr auftauen. ✨ Sie könnte mit dem nächstmöglichen Transport gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf Leishmaniose und MMK getestet sowie mit einem gültigen EU Pass ausreisen.

About Joana

What life with Joana looks like

Joana is a medium-sized 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
