How do I contact the shelter about Lola?

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

Can I adopt Lola 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 Lola 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 Lola 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 Lola 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.

Lola

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Lola is a huge heart on four scruffy paws. She has had a truly unfortunate life so far, but she still goes through the world with an incredible zest for life and optimism. Lola became blind at some point with her previous owners… but instead of taking care of her, they chained her outside in the yard in a doghouse. Thankfully, she landed at the animal shelter a few weeks ago, and there she simply blossoms. She loves all the helpers, is always happy to get some snuggles, and spreads nothing but good cheer. She runs around the animal shelter without any problems in the open area and jumps and runs around. She comes into her new environment with her blindness after a short adjustment period and uses her other senses for orientation. She gets along very well with other dogs and, of course, she can also be rehomed with sensible children. Lola is simply enchanting, and we hope so much that someone will fall in love with her.

DE·Show original

Lola ist ein riesiges Herz auf vier Wuschelpfoten. Sie hatte bisher wirklich kein schönes Leben, aber dennoch geht sie mit einer unglaublichen Lebensfreude und Zuversicht durch die Welt. Lola wurde irgendwann bei ihren Vorbesitzern blind…doch anstatt sich um sie zu kümmern, wurde sie draußen im Hof an die Hundehütte gekettet. Zum Glück landete sie vor einigen Wochen im Tierheim und dort blüht sie einfach nur auf. Sie liebt alle Helfer, freut sich immer, wenn sie schmusen darf und verbreitet einfach gute Laune. Sie läuft im Tierheim ohne Probleme im Freigegeben umher und springt und rennt umher. Sie kommt nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnung in ihre neue Umgebung sehr gut mit ihrer Blindheit zurecht und nutzt ihre anderen Sinne zur Orientierung. Sie versteht sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und natürlich kann sie auch zu vernünftigen Kindern vermittelt werden. Lola ist einfach nur bezaubernd und wir hoffen so sehr, dass sich Jemand in sie verliebt.

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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.
