How do I contact the shelter about Tana?

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

Can I adopt Tana if I live in another country?

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

Tana

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Tana ID No.: 1038158 Breed: Alano-mixed breed Age: approx. 09/2022 Gender: female Shoulder height: approx. 59 cm Neutered/Sterilized: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Tana – adventurous female dog seeks strong human Tana (*approx. 30.09.2022, approx. 59 cm) is a super sweet Alano-mix female dog – her look simply makes you want to cuddle her face! Tana is a truly lovable little mouse, and our team often catches her in the cutest moments, whether she’s splashing in the pool or snuggling in her bed. Tana arrived together with her friend Teddy. However, the two live separately at the animal shelter because the pair proved too strong for our staff to manage. Since Tana has a gentler temperament than Teddy, a calmer companion was sought for her. She currently lives with the older Mastin male dog Leon. After Teddy, Tana was tested with several male dogs and behaves very differently toward dogs than she does toward people. She plays exuberantly and energetically, enjoys her free time, and likes to put both paws on her companion’s back to keep watch. She shares her bed and food without any issues and shows no resource guarding problems at the animal shelter. A good, stable male dog would be an ideal partner for her. We’ve tested her with cats, and she passed this test well. Tana is initially somewhat shy around new people. It only takes a few minutes before she reveals her true self: full of love, life, and joy—like a happy toddler. She is very submissive toward humans. At the end of the day, when it’s time to settle into her bed, Tana asks for affection, lies down, and offers you her paw to receive attention and love. Tana is a very clever female dog who still needs to learn a lot, but with loving guidance—and perhaps a stable male canine companion—she will adapt perfectly. Tana has lots of energy and wants to be a great adventure buddy. She loves playing in water and is highly entertaining! She urgently needs a primary caregiver who can physically handle her—especially during the initial period while she learns to walk calmly on a leash, realizing she’ll now get more than just one walk per week and will receive the physical exercise she needs. We hope Tana finds a home without small children, as she is like a big baby herself and could accidentally knock over little ones. Tana is looking for an experienced person willing to show her the world with patience, consistency, and love, and to provide her with the necessary physical and mental stimulation. Whoever offers this strong yet endearing female dog a home will gain a fun-loving, loyal, and affectionate partner for all of life’s adventures. Tana has an EU pet passport and is, of course, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for Mediterranean diseases, dewormed, and treated for fleas for travel arrangements. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean check: Yes Microchip: Yes Diseases: None known incl. transport Contact person Larissa Spörl Tel: Email:

Tana ID-Nr: 1038158 Rasse: Alano-Mischling Alter: ca. 09/2022 Geschlecht: weiblich Schulterhöhe: ca. 59 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Tana – abenteuerlustige Hündin sucht starken Menschen Tana (*ca. 30.09.2022, ca. 59 cm) ist eine super süße Alano-Mischlings-Hündin – ihr Blick verleitet einfach dazu, ihr Gesicht knuddeln zu wollen! Tana ist eine wirklich liebenswerte Maus, und unser Team ertappt sie oft in den niedlichsten Momenten, sei es beim Baden im Pool oder beim Kuscheln in ihrem Bett. Tana kam zusammen mit ihrem Freund Teddy zu uns. Im Tierheim leben die beiden jedoch getrennt, da das Gespann zu stark für unsere Mitarbeiter:innen zu handhaben war. Da Tana ein sanfteres Wesen als Teddy hat, wurde für sie ein ruhigerer Freund gesucht. Aktuell lebt sie mit dem älteren Mastin-Rüden Leon zusammen. Nach Teddy wurde Tana mit mehreren Rüden getestet und verhält sich Hunden gegenüber ganz anders als Menschen. Sie spielt ausgelassen und kräftig, genießt ihre freie Zeit und legt gerne beide Pfoten auf den Rücken ihres Begleiters, um weiter Ausschau zu halten. Sie teilt ihr Bett und Futter problemlos und hat keinerlei Ressourcenprobleme im Tierheim. Ein guter, stabiler Rüde wäre ein idealer Partner für sie. Wir haben sie mit Katzen getestet und diesen Test hat sie gut überstanden. Tana ist bei neuen Menschen zunächst etwas schüchtern. Es dauert nur wenige Minuten, bis sie ihr wahres Ich zeigt: voller Liebe, Leben und Freude, wie ein glückliches Kleinkind. Sie ist Menschen gegenüber sehr unterwürfig. Am Ende des Tages, wenn es Zeit ist, ihr Bett zu machen, bittet Tana um Zuneigung, legt sich hin und gibt dir ihre Pfote, um Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe zu bekommen. Tana ist eine sehr schlaue Hündin, die viel lernen muss, aber mit einer liebevollen Anleitung und vielleicht einem stabilen männlichen Hundebegleiter wird sie sich perfekt anpassen. Tana hat viel Energie und möchte ein guter Abenteuerbegleiter sein. Sie liebt es, im Wasser zu spielen, und ist sehr unterhaltsam! Sie braucht dringend eine Bezugsperson, die sie körperlich handhaben kann – besonders in der Anfangszeit, in der sie lernen muss, ruhig an der Leine zu gehen, während sie merkt, dass sie nun mehr als einen Spaziergang pro Woche bekommt und die benötigte körperliche Auslastung erhält. Wir wünschen uns für Tana ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, da sie selbst wie ein großes Baby ist und kleine Kinder versehentlich umstoßen könnte. Tana sucht einen erfahrenen Menschen, der bereit ist, ihr mit Geduld, Konsequenz und Liebe die Welt zu zeigen und ihr die nötige körperliche und geistige Auslastung zu bieten. Wer dieser starken und zugleich liebenswerten Hündin ein Zuhause schenkt, gewinnt eine lustige, loyale und anschmiegsame Partnerin für alle Abenteuer des Lebens. Tana besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und ist bei Ausreise selbstverständlich gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet sowie entwurmt und entfloht. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl. Transport Ansprechpartner Larissa Spörl Tel: Email: Anfrageformular

About Tana

What life with Tana looks like

Tana is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

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.
