Shakira

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Shakira is a very special little dog. She is a sweet mixed breed lady who is looking for her forever human on this path. Her name is actually a program, if you look at her enchanting gait. Her life has certainly not been just beautiful so far, but that should change now. This little dog needs people who show her life outside a kennel with patience. She is happy about people, which is already great. The rest will surely follow with time. Who would like to have the little dog by their side? The responsibility for a shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack with past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you like to take on the challenge and give the sweet dog a home? Shakira would also be happy about a foster home. Here is Shakira's video.

Mischling Shakira ist eine ganz besondere kleine Hündin, die auf diesem Weg ihren Menschen fürs Leben sucht. Ihr Name ist tatsächlich Programm, wenn man sich ihr zauberhaftes Gangbild anschaut. Sharika’s Leben war sicher bisher nicht nur schön, aber das soll sich nun ändern. Diese kleine Hündin braucht Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld das Leben außerhalb eines Zwingers zeigen. Sie freut sich über Menschen, was schon mal toll ist. Der Rest ergibt sich sicher mit der Zeit. Wer möchte die kleine Hündin an seiner Seite haben? Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit. Sie 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 Shakira sich freuen.

About Shakira

What life with Shakira looks like

Shakira is a adult mixed breed 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 Shakira, answered.

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