Selena

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Cristina took in Selena from a friend animal rescuer. This rescuer had found the female dog on the street. Selena was likely pregnant with 7 puppies, and the people took the puppies with them, leaving Selena alone behind. She is very, very thin and will now be fatten up. With great likelihood, there is a lot of hunting dog in her. Selena can jump over 1.20m fences. Selena is a loving and gentle soul. She does not like the cold temperatures at all.

DE·Show original

Cristina übernahm Selena von einer befreundeten Tierschützerin. Diese hatte die Hündin auf der Straße gefunden. Selena hatte wohl 7 Welpen und die Leute nahmen die Welpen mit und ließen Selena allein zurück. Sie ist sehr, sehr dünn und wird nun erstmal aufgepäppelt. Mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit steckt viel Jagdhund in ihr. Sie überspringt Zäune von 1,20m. Selena ist eine liebe und sanfte Seele. Die kalten Temperaturen mag sie gar nicht.

About Selena

What life with Selena looks like

Selena is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe in Aschaffenburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Selena, answered.

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