Toquinha

Mixed Breed · Female

The 46 cm tall female dog is new at the animal shelter. She was given up by a hunter because she "isn't fit for hunting," which is likely a stroke of luck for Toquinha since she is far too sensitive. Currently, she shows signs of fear, which is no wonder given her experiences. Nonetheless, she is always loving, gentle, and absolutely compatible with fellow animals. For Toquinha, we wish for a quiet, patient home where she can arrive and gain trust. With time and love, she will become a faithful companion for life. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. Gets along with other dogs.

Die 46 cm große Hündin ist neu im Tierheim. Sie wurde von einem Jäger abgegeben, weil sie „nicht zum Jagen taugt“, für Toquinha vermutlich ein Glück, denn sie ist viel zu sensibel. Aktuell zeigt sie sich noch ängstlich, was nach ihren Erlebnissen kein Wunder ist. Dennoch ist sie stets lieb, sanft und absolut verträglich mit Artgenossen. Für Toquinha wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, geduldiges Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen und Vertrauen fassen darf. Mit Zeit und Liebe wird sie zu einer treuen Begleiterin fürs Leben.

About Toquinha

What life with Toquinha looks like

Toquinha is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung Portugal e.V. in Mühlheim am Main.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Toquinha, answered.

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