Tona

Chihuahua · Female · Senior · 11 years

Chihuahua Tona sucht ihren Herzensplatz Die kleine Chihuahua-Dame Tona ist etwa 12 Jahre alt und wartet in einem spanischen Tierheim auf ihre Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause. Über ihre Vergangenheit wissen wir leider nichts, doch wie so viele Tierschutzhunde bringt auch Tona ihre ganz eigene Geschichte mit. Mit ihren zwölf Jahren gehört Tona zwar zu den Senioren, doch gerade ältere Hunde haben oft eine ganz besondere Art, sich in die Herzen ihrer Menschen zu schleichen. Sie wünschen sich keine großen Abenteuer mehr, sondern Geborgenheit, Liebe und einen Platz, an dem sie einfach dazugehören dürfen. Für Tona suchen wir Menschen mit Herz und idealerweise Hundeerfahrung, die wissen, dass ein Chihuahua viel mehr ist als ein niedliches Accessoire. Auch kleine Hunde haben Bedürfnisse, möchten ernst genommen werden und verdienen ein artgerechtes Leben mit liebevoller Führung, Geduld und Zuwendung. Da Tona aus dem Tierschutz kommt, wird sie vermutlich noch einiges kennenlernen müssen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wer möchte dieser liebenswerten Seniorin ihren Lebensabend mit Liebe, Geborgenheit und vielen schönen Momenten versüßen? Dann melden Sie sich gerne bei Ihrer zuständigen Vermittlerin. Auch eine Pflegestelle würde Tona den Weg in ein neues Leben erleichtern. Bitte beachten: Der Chihuahua gehört leider zu den sogenannten Qualzuchten. Auch wenn Tona gesundheitlich einen stabilen Eindruck macht, können rassebedingt gesundheitliche Themen auftreten. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf unserer Informationsseite.

About Tona

What life with Tona looks like

Tona is a large senior chihuahua dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Tona, answered.

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