Manchmal braucht es keine großen Worte, um einen Hund zu beschreiben. Über Violeta sagt ihre Pflegestelle in Portugal einfach: „Sie ist perfekt.“ Und tatsächlich bringt diese kleine Seniorin 46 cm SH alles mit, was man sich wünschen kann. Sie ist anfangs nur etwas zurückhaltend, läuft wunderbar an der Leine, bellt nie, ist sozial, unterwürfig, ruhig und einfach nur unglaublich lieb. Violeta möchte gefallen, macht alles mit und genießt jede Zuwendung. Sie gehört zu den Hunden, die mit ihrer sanften Art ganz leise das Herz erobern. Kein Trubel, keine Dramen. Einfach eine treue Begleiterin, die dankbar für jede gemeinsame Minute ist. Mit 13 Jahren hat Violeta vielleicht schon ein paar graue Schnauzenhaare mehr als andere. Dafür bringt sie etwas mit, das man nicht lernen kann: Ruhe, Gelassenheit und ein riesengroßes Herz. Vielleicht sucht gerade jemand keinen Welpen mehr, sondern eine beste Freundin fürs Leben. Eine Hündin, die einfach da ist und jeden Tag ein bisschen schöner macht. Sie könnte mit dem nächstmöglichen Transport gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf Leishmaniose und MMK getestet sowie mit einem gültigen EU Pass ausreisen. Eine Schutzgebühr von 250€ sowie eine VK sind notwendig.

About Violeta

What life with Violeta looks like

Violeta is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung Portugal e.V. in Mühlheim am Main.

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 Violeta, answered.

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