Leonor

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Leonor and Froilan have spent most of their lives in a kennel. For the first five years, the male Froilan lived together with the female Leonor in a holding facility where dogs are no longer killed, but they serve out their time there until they die, without exercise or stimulation. Our Spanish animal welfare colleagues fought to be allowed to take some of the dogs out of there, and so Froilan and his Leonor had the great fortune of being able to leave the facility. They were able to move to a refuge where they get to run freely every day and volunteer helpers take the dogs for walks. Unfortunately, Froilan and his Leonor are still in the animal shelter. We sincerely wish that they can still enjoy their golden years in a family! Froilan is still the braver of the two, and Leonor takes her cues from him very strongly. Around strangers he is still very shy, although he is quite willing to accept treats. Leonor still gives unfamiliar people a wide berth. But once they have earned the trust of both of them, they let themselves be petted, enjoy playing, and love going for walks. They get along well with other dogs, but they are not particularly interested in them.

Leonor und Froilan haben den Großteil ihres Lebens in einem Zwinger verbracht. Die ersten fünf Jahre lebte der Rüde Froilan gemeinsam mit der Hündin Leonor in einem Auffanglager, wo die Hunde zwar nicht mehr getötet werden, aber ohne Auslauf und Beschäftigung ihre Zeit bis zum Tod absitzen. Unsere spanischen Tierschutzkollegen haben dafür gekämpft, dass sie dort den einen oder anderen Hund heraus holen dürfen und somit hatten Froilan und seine Leonor das große Glück, das Lager verlassen zu können. Sie konnten in ein Refugium umziehen, in dem sie jeden Tag in den Freilauf kommen und freiwillige Helfer mit den Hunden spazieren gehen. Froilan und seine Leonor sind leider noch immer im Tierheim. Dabei wünschen wir ihnen von Herzen, dass sie ihren Lebensabend doch noch in einer Familie genießen können! Froilan ist nach wie vor der Mutigere von beiden und Leonor orientiert sich sehr stark an ihm. Fremden Personen gegenüber ist er nach wie vor sehr schüchtern, auch wenn er durchaus bereit ist, Leckerchen entgegen zu nehmen. Leonor macht um unbekannte Menschen nach wie vor einen großen Bogen. Hat man aber ihrer beider Vertrauen gewonnen, lassen sie sich streicheln, spielen und gehen gern spazieren. Mit anderen Hunden sind sie verträglich, interessieren sich aber nicht besonders für sie.

About Leonor

What life with Leonor looks like

Leonor is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leonor, answered.

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