TrufaRasse

Mixed Breed · Female

Name: Trufa Breed: mixed breed Sex: female Date of birth: 12/2023 Color: black with cream Country of origin: Greece Size: large (approx. 50 cm) Trufa has had a tough life on the streets until now. She was spotted repeatedly, but didn’t trust people and successfully hid herself. Eventually, with a lot of patience, an animal rescuer managed to catch her and bring her to her shelter. By now this pretty female dog has blossomed, learned to trust, and enjoys every bit of affection. Trufa gets along well with her fellow animals and now really looks forward to human contact. Actually, she wants nothing more than to please her person and be with them. She now needs people who will accompany her patiently and lovingly on her journey into a new life, people she can rely on. Whoever gives her this chance will experience how this sweet female dog opens up and becomes a loyal companion!

Name: Trufa. Rasse: Mischling. Geschlecht: HündinGeburtsdatum: 12/2023. Farbe: Schwarz mit CremeGeburtsland: GriechenlandGröße: Groß (ca. 50cm) Trufa hatte bis jetzt ein schweres Leben auf der Straße. Sie wurde immer wieder gesichtet, vertraute den Menschen jedoch nicht und versteckte sich erfolgreich. Schließlich gelang es einer Tierschützerin, sie mit viel Geduld, einzufangen und mit in ihr Shelter zu nehmen. Mittlerweile ist die hübsche Hündin aufgeblüht, hat Vertrauen gefasst, und freut sich über jede Streicheleinheit. Trufa versteht sich gut mit ihren Artgenossen und freut sich inzwischen sehr über Menschenkontakt. Eigentlich möchte sie nichts lieber als ihrem Menschen gefallen und bei ihnen zu sein. Sie braucht jetzt Menschen, die sie geduldig und mit Zuneigung auf ihrem Weg in ein neues Leben begleiten und auf die sie sich verlassen kann. Wer ihr diese Chance gibt, wird erleben, wie sich diese liebe Hündin öffnet, und zu einer treuen Begleiterin wird!

About TrufaRasse

What life with TrufaRasse looks like

TrufaRasse is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde e.V. in Heppenheim.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting TrufaRasse, answered.

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