Adopt Stan in Portugal

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Age: born 03.02.2026 Size: currently approx. 15 cm Weight: currently approx. 2.5 kg Location: Shelter/Portugal compatibility with others: puppy-like Our Stan shows at this point puppy-like playful, lively, carefree, and explores his world. Stan's character will of course continue to develop further in the coming months. No puppy should grow up in a shelter. We are looking for a home or foster home for Stan where he can learn about the world in peace and simply be a puppy. Those who adopt a puppy should be aware that after the puppy stage, puberty begins. Therefore, we are looking for sensitive and patient people who can show Stan with patience, calmness, and loving guidance how wonderful life is. It should be noted that every shelter dog, and especially considering his past, brings his own story. We can therefore never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living together in Germany with you. Stan can travel to a foster or permanent placement.

Alter: geb. 03.02.2026 Größe: derzeit ca. 15 cm Gewicht: derzeit ca. 2,5 kg Standort: Shelter/Portugal Verträglichkeit: welpentypisch Unser Stan zeigt sich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt welpentypisch verspielt, aufgeweckt, unbeschwert und erkundet seine Welt. Stan´s Charakter wird sich natürlich in den nächsten Monaten noch weiter ausbilden. Kein Welpe sollte im Shelter groß werden. Wir suchen für Stan ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, wo er in aller Ruhe die Welt kennenlernen und einfach Hundekind sein darf. Wer einen Welpen adoptiert, sollte sich bewusst sein, dass nach der Welpenzeit die Pubertät anfängt. Deshalb suchen wir einfühlsame und geduldige Menschen, die Stan mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Führung zeigen, wie schön das Leben ist. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Stan kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

About Stan in Portugal

What life with Stan in Portugal looks like

Stan in Portugal is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Dog International e.V. in Talkau.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Stan in Portugal, answered.

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