Manuela

Podenco · Female · Adult · 3 years

Manuela was totally overwhelmed upon arrival at the animal shelter. But she’s slowly warming up and has turned out to be a very loving female dog. It’s clear that Manuela hasn’t experienced much love before. She’s not familiar with life in a home with loving people. But that’s about to change. Who will give the beautiful female dog the chance at a real home with a warm dog bed and lots of love? Taking care of a shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack full of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to adjust to their new lives. Would you take on the challenge and give the sweet female dog a home? Manuela would also be happy with a foster home.

Manuela war bei der Ankunft im Tierheim total überfordert. So langsam taut sie aber auf und entpuppt sich als ganz liebe Hündin. Sicher hat Manuela bisher nicht viel Liebe erfahren. Sie kennt das Leben im Haus und mit liebenden Menschen nicht. Das soll sich aber bald ändern. Wer gibt der wunderschönen Hündin die Chance auf ein echtes Zuhause mit einem warmen Körbchen und viel Liebe? Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und brauchen Zeit sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und der süßen Hündin ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Manuela sich freuen. Hier gehts zu Manuelas Video

About Manuela

What life with Manuela looks like

Manuela is a adult podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Manuela, answered.

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