Leslie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Leslie is a sweet, lovable princess. She has a lot of energy, is always in a good mood, and is playful and mischievous. She loves being scratched under the chin. Leslie is joy personified in the form of a dog. Walking and cuddling are the greatest things for Leslie. Initially, she can be a bit reserved around unfamiliar people and in new situations, but Leslie is so affectionate that this shyness disappears very quickly with some cuddles. Leslie is very social and gets along well with both people and other dogs. A cat test could be conducted if there is interest.

DE·Show original

Leslie ist eine süße liebenswürdige Prinzessin. Sie hat eine Menge Energie, ist immer gut drauf und zum Spielen und Herumalbern aufgelegt. Sie liebt es, am Bauch gekrault zu werden. Leslie ist die Fröhlichkeit in der Gestalt eines Hundes. Spaziergänge und Kuscheln sind für Leslie das Größte. Fremden Menschen gegenüber und in neuen Situationen ist sie anfänglich manchmal etwas zurückhaltend, aber Leslie ist so liebesbedürftig, dass diese Unsicherheit ganz schnell verfliegt, wenn sie Streicheleinheiten bekommt. Leslie ist sehr gesellig und kommt mit Menschen und mit anderen Hunden super zurecht. Ein Katzentest könnte bei Interesse noch durchgeführt werden.

About Leslie

What life with Leslie looks like

Leslie is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leslie, answered.

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