How do I contact the shelter about Mortadela?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Step by Paw e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mortadela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mortadela if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Step by Paw 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 Mortadela 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 Mortadela 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 Step by Paw e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mortadela 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.

Mortadela

Podenco · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Mortadela Breed: Podenco Gender: female Born around February 2025 Shoulder height: 57 cm Compatible with dogs: yes Compatible with children: yes Compatible with cats: not known Mortadela was found on the street, where she wandered around searching for protection and food. Her fear of people drove her forward, putting her constantly in danger of being run over. Luckily, she was secured after a few days. During the first examination, the vet discovered that one of her eyelids was rolled inward and constantly rubbed against her eye. This meant constant pain and tearing for the young female dog. The eye was operated on, and the surgery went well, and today Mortadela is fully recovered. And now she can finally show what a treasure she is. She gets along well with other dogs, approaches people openly, loves to play, is curious, and adventurous. Do you want to show Mortadela the world and experience adventures with her? Do you want to teach her what it means to be a beloved family member? You know she still has a lot to learn, but you are ready to work with her? Fantastic!

Mortadela Rasse: Podenco Geschlecht: weiblich Geboren ca. Februar 2025 Schulterhöhe: 57 cm Verträglich mit Hunden: ja Verträglich mit Kindern: ja Verträglich mit Katzen: nicht bekannt Mortadela wurde auf der Straße aufgelesen, wo sie auf der suche nach Schutz und Futter umherirrte. Die Angst vor Menschen trieb sie vorwärts, sodass sie ständig in Gefahr schwebte, überfahren zu werden. Zum Glück konnte sie nach mehreren Tagen gesichert werden. Bei der ersten Untersuchung stellte der Tierarzt fest, dass eines ihrer Augenlider nach innen gewachsen war und ständig am Auge rieb. Das bedeutete permanente Schmerzen und Tränenfluss für die junge Hündin. Das Auge wurde operiert, die OP verlief gut, und heute ist Mortadela vollständig genesen. Und nun kann sie endlich zeigen, was für ein Schatz sie ist. Sie verträgt sich bestens mit anderen Hunden, geht aufgeschlossen auf Menschen zu, spielt gerne, ist wissbegierig und abenteuerlustig. Du möchtest Mortadela die Welt zeigen und mit ihr Abenteuer erleben? Du möchtest ihr beibringen, was es bedeutet, ein geliebtes Familienmitglied zu sein? Dir ist klar, dass sie noch viel lernen muss, aber du bist bereit, mit ihr zu arbeiten? Fantastisch! Schau gleich auf unserer Homepage vorbei und nimm unter mit uns Kontakt auf! Wir setzen uns dann mit Dir in Verbindung.

About Mortadela

What life with Mortadela looks like

Mortadela is a young adult podenco dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

An young 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.
