Adopt Sua

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Our Madeiran queen and wonderful mixed-breed female dog Sua is very approachable towards women. However, she is suspicious and sometimes fearful of men, especially those in middle age. This is tied to her past experiences. We see Sua thriving in a quiet women’s household, where she can be a princess and a queen. Where she can take the lead. Because she deserves that after all these years. With time, patience, and especially understanding, Sua will also open up in a normal family and get along well with male individuals. Who will give the "woman-understanding" her place in the sun?

Unsere madeirensische Königin und wunderschöne Mischlingshündin Sua ist Frauen gegenüber sehr zugänglich. Bei Männern, vor allem im reiferen Alter, ist sie allerdings misstrauisch und teilweise ängstlich. Das hängt mit der gemachten Erfahrung aus ihrem Vorleben zusammen. Wir sehen Sua in einem ruhigen Frauenhaushalt gut aufgehoben, dort wo sie Prinzessin und Königin sein darf. Dort wo sie die erste Geige spielen darf. Denn das hätte sie nach all den Jahren verdient. Mit Zeit, Geduld und vor allem Verständnis wird Sua sich auch in einer normalen Familie öffnen und auch mit männlichen Personen gut auskommen. Wer gibt der "Frauenversteherin" ihren Platz an der Sonne? Bei Interesse sehr gerne bei uns melden oder gleich unsere Selbstauskunft ausfüllen!

About Sua

What life with Sua looks like

Sua is a large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sua, answered.

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