How do I contact the shelter about Rasputin?

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

Can I adopt Rasputin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Streetdogs Madeira 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 Rasputin 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 Rasputin 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 Streetdogs Madeira e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rasputin 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.

Adopt Rasputin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Rasputin belongs to the anxious dogs at our shelter. If you're interested in the sensitive beauty, you should know this. As he was rescued from a colony where he struggled to survive under extreme conditions, his life is marked by mistrust. But with lots of love and patience, you can win the heart of an anxious dog and then be sure to have a loyal companion. We want to speak up here for the forgotten, the fearful, the cautious. They are just that way because no one has ever given them a chance. But you can change that. If you've broken the heart of a soulful dog, you truly get the chance to get to know them every day. But you do need patience, love, and quiet time. Many of the first steps come from the dog. Who will give the delicate and beautiful Rasputin a chance and show him that life is beautiful?

Rasputin gehört zu den Angsthunden im Tierschutz. Das sollte man wissen, wenn man sich für den sensiblen Schönling interessiert. Da er aus einer Kolonie gerettet wurde, in der er unter extremen Bedingungen versucht hat zu überleben, ist sein Leben von Misstrauen geprägt. Mit viel Liebe und Geduld kann man aber das Herz eines Angsthundes gewinnen und kann sich dann sicher sein, einen treuen Begleiter zu haben. Wir möchten hier mal eine Lanze brechen, für die Vergessenen, für die Ängstlichen, für die Vorsichtigen. Das sind sie nur, weil ihnen nie jemand eine Chance gegeben hat. Das kann man aber ändern. Hat man das Herz eines Seelenhundes gebrochen, bekommt man wirklich jeden Tag die Gelegenheit sich näher zu kommen. Man benötigt aber tatsächlich Ruhe Geduld und Liebe. Viele erste Schritte gehen erstmal vom Hund aus. Wer gibt dem zarten und schönen Rasputin einen Halt und zeigt ihm, dass das Leben schön ist?

About Rasputin

What life with Rasputin looks like

Rasputin is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Streetdogs Madeira e.V. in Illingen.

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.
