Mara

Podenco · Female · Adult · 3 years

Mara is a sweet female dog who brings lots of joy right away. She is cheerful, open-minded, and full of energy. She will surely bring plenty of laughter into her future home. Mara is young and, as a result, full of energy and enthusiasm. She hasn't given up hope that someone out there loves her and will choose her as a faithful companion. Mara will undoubtedly thank her future owners a thousand times over. Of course, she is still unfamiliar with life in a home and will need to be shown patience. Taking care of a shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring with them past experiences or unlearned situations, and they need time to adjust to their new lives. Would you like to take on the challenge and give the sweet female dog a home? Mara would also be delighted with a foster home.

Mara ist eine süße Hündin, die sofort viel Freude bringt. Sie ist fröhlich, aufgeschlossen und quirlig. Sicher wird sie ihren zukünftigen Menschen viel Lachen ins Haus bringen. Mara ist jung und dementsprechend voller Energie und Lebensfreude. Sie hat die Hoffnung nicht aufgegeben, dass da draußen ihr Mensch wartet, der sie liebt und sie als treue Freundin wählt. Mara wird es sicher tausendfach danken. Natürlich kennt sie das Leben im Haus noch nicht und muss das erst mit Geduld gezeigt bekommen. 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 Mara sich freuen. Hier geht’s zu Maras Video

About Mara

What life with Mara looks like

Mara 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 Mara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mara?
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 Mara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mara 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 Mara 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 Mara 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 Mara 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.
