Paloma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

48cm tall, age: *05/2023. Compatible with: Male dogs: Yes, Female dogs: Yes, Cats: not tested. With us since: 08/2026. Location: Animals Sense Sostre August 2026 - Paloma came to us because her owner, an elderly man, could no longer care for her adequately. He decided to bring Paloma to us so we could find her a nice home. She is a social and compatible dog who loves to run and play with her peers in the open, she enjoys their company. Paloma is a young, very sweet and affectionate dog who is curious about discovering the world. She is playful, loves going for walks and enjoys spending time with people and other dogs. She also gets along well with children. Ideally, she would be with a family or a person who can give her enough time to play, go on adventures together and take long walks, she also walks well on a leash. Paloma loves to eat, it's a big passion of hers. Unfortunately, she is very stressed in the kennel, but as soon as she gets out and can spend time with our volunteers, she shows a completely different side of herself, then she is a sweet, gentle and calm dog. Paloma wants a home where you have fun with activities together, where you can exhaust and occupy her with head and nose work, for example in the form of tracking, dummy training, etc. Training for calmness and composure should also be practiced, then Paloma would be a happy and content dog. She is ready to travel and is now waiting to be seen by her humans - maybe by you.

Größe: 48cmAlter: *05/2023. Verträglich mitRüden: JaHündinnen: JaKatzen: noch nicht getestet Bei uns seit: 08/2026Aufenthaltsort: Animals Sense Sostre August 2026 – Paloma kam zu uns, weil ihr Besitzer, ein älterer Herr, sich nicht mehr ausreichend um sie kümmern konnte. So hat er sich dazu entschieden Paloma zu uns zu bringen, damit wir ein schönes Zuhause für sie finden. Sie ist eine soziale und verträgliche Hündin, die es liebt mit ihren Artgenossen im Freilauf zu rennen und zu spielen, sie genießt deren Gesellschaft. Paloma ist eine junge, sehr liebe und verschmuste Hündin, die neugierig darauf ist die Welt zu entdecken. Sie ist verspielt, geht sehr gerne spazieren und liebt es Zeit mit Menschen und anderen Hunden zu verbringen. Mit Kindern versteht sie sich auch gut. Ideal wäre für sie eine Familie oder ein Mensch, der ihr ausreichend Zeit zum Spielen, gemeinsame Unternehmungen und lange Spaziergänge schenken kann, sie läuft auch gut an der Leine. Paloma frisst für ihr Leben gerne, das ist eine große Leidenschaft von ihr. Im Zwinger ist sie leider sehr gestresst, doch sobald sie herauskommt und Zeit mit unseren freiwilligen Helfern verbringen darf, zeigt sie eine ganz andere Seite von sich, dann ist sie eine liebe, sanfte und ruhige Hündin. Paloma wünscht sich ein Zuhause, wo man Spaß an gemeinsamen Aktivitäten hat, sie mit Kopf- und Nasenarbeit z. B. in Form von Maintrailing, Dummytraining etc. auslastet und beschäftigt. Auch das Erlernen von Ruhe und Gelassenheit sollte trainiert werden, dann wäre Paloma ein glücklicher und zufriedener Hund. Sie ist reisebereit und wartet jetzt darauf von ihren Menschen gesehen zu werden – vielleicht von Ihnen.

About Paloma

What life with Paloma looks like

Paloma is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Paloma, answered.

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