How do I contact the shelter about Tilia?

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

Can I adopt Tilia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Portugal 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 Tilia 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 Tilia 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 Hundehilfe Portugal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tilia 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.

Tilia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Tilia is an incredibly friendly and lively female dog who loves playing with balls. Instead of bringing her "prey" back, she prefers to run off with it. At the animal shelter, the intelligent and eager-to-learn female dog has already learned several basic signals and tricks, which she performs with great enthusiasm. Tilia loves long walks – especially on the beach – but also can't get enough of attention and cuddles. Tilia gets along well with both people and other dogs. Whether Tilia could share a home with cats would need to be tested if there is interest. Since Tilia came to the animal shelter as a puppy and has spent her entire life there, she is afraid of the many environmental stimuli that city dogs are confronted with. Therefore, Tilia's family should live in the countryside and introduce Tilia to unfamiliar stimuli gradually and patiently to help her overcome her fears.

DE·Show original

Tilia ist ein unheimlich freundliches und aufgewecktes Hundemädchen, das für ihr Leben gerne mit Bällen spielt. Statt ihre “Beute” zurückzubringen, rennt sie aber lieber mit ihr davon. Im Tierheim hat die intelligente und lernwillige Hündin schon einige Grundsignale und Tricks gelernt, die sie mit Begeisterung ausführt. Tilia liebt lange Spaziergänge – vor allem am Strand - aber auch Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten kann sie gar nicht genug bekommen. Mit Menschen und mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Tilia bestens. Ob sie ihr Zuhause auch mit Katzen teilen könnte, müsste bei Interesse noch getestet werden. Da Tilia als Welpe ins Tierheim gekommen ist und ihr ganzes bisheriges Leben dort verbracht hat, hat sie Angst vor den vielen Umweltreizen, mit denen Hunde in einer Stadt konfrontiert werden. Tilia Familie sollte daher eher auf dem Land leben und Tilia behutsam und geduldig an unbekannte Reize heranführen, um ihr bei der Überwindung ihrer Ängste zu helfen.

About Tilia

What life with Tilia looks like

Tilia is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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.
