Lona

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Lona wurde von unseren Tierschützern völlig entkräftet am Straßenrand gefunden. Sie hatte starke Schmerzen und einen riesigen aufgeblähten Bauch. Sofort wurde sie in eine Tierklinik gebracht. Der Verdacht auf einen Tumor bestätigte sich nicht. Die Diagnose war jedoch eine andere – und ebenso erschütternd: Lona trug rund 6,5 Kilogramm tote Föten in ihrem Bauch. Eine sofortige Notoperation war ihre einzige Chance und rettete ihr das Leben. Doch damit war ihr Leid noch nicht vorbei. Zusätzlich wurde bei Lona ein Befall mit Herzwürmern festgestellt. Auch diese Behandlung ist inzwischen abgeschlossen. Trotz allem zeigt sich Lona als tapfere Kämpferin und befindet sich inzwischen wieder in der Obhut unserer Tierschützer, wo sie sich langsam von den Strapazen erholt. Lona wird auf etwa 10 Jahre geschätzt. Momentan fällt ihr das Aufstehen und Laufen schwer. Ihr Blutbild ist erfreulicherweise unauffällig, sodass wir hoffen, dass ihre Beschwerden altersbedingt sind – möglicherweise durch Arthrose verursacht. Sie erhält derzeit entzündungshemmende und schmerzlindernde Medikamente, die ihr den Alltag erleichtern sollen. Von Herzen möchten wir uns bei allen bedanken, die Lona bisher mit einer Spende unterstützt haben. Jeder einzelne Betrag hat dazu beigetragen, ihre medizinische Versorgung zu ermöglichen. Ein großes Dankeschön gilt Angela W. , die mit ihrer monatlichen Patenschaft die laufenden Versorgungskosten für Lona übernimmt. ❤️

About Lona

What life with Lona looks like

Lona 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. 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 Lona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lona?
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 Lona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lona 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lona 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 Lona 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 Lona 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.
