How do I contact the shelter about Wilma?

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 Wilma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Wilma 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 Wilma 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 Wilma 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 Wilma 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.

Wilma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Wilma is simply a treasure and the most relaxed and peaceful dog one can imagine. Wilma does not pull on the leash and doesn't run and jump around constantly. She just wants to sit or lie down next to you and keep you company. As long as someone is nearby and she is showered with love and attention, Wilma is happy and content. This sometimes comes through in her desire to play and roughhouse with her human. Due to her size and age, Wilma's chances for rehoming aren't particularly good, which is a shame, as she is so calm and sociable, both with people and other dogs. Wilma is the perfect companion for anyone who doesn't have enough time or space to deal with an excitable dog, or who simply prefers a calmer one. Wilma just wishes for a comfortable bed, company, and lots and lots of cuddles. A cat test could still be conducted if interested.

DE·Show original

Wilma ist einfach ein Schatz und der entspannteste und friedlichste Hund, den man sich vorstellen kann. Wilma zieht nicht an der Leine und rennt und springt auch nicht dauernd durch die Gegend. Sie will sich nur zu dir setzen oder legen und dir Gesellschaft leisten. Solange jemand in ihrer Nähe ist und sie möglichst noch mit Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit überschüttet, ist Wilma glücklich und zufrieden. Das bringt sie dann auch hin und wieder darin zum Ausdruck, dass sie ihren Menschen zum Spielen und Herumalbern auffordert. Aufgrund ihrer Größe und ihres Alters, werden Wilmas Vermittlungschancen nicht besonders gut sein, was schade ist, da sie so ruhig und gesellig ist, sowohl mit Menschen als auch mit anderen Hunden. Wilma ist die perfekte Gesellschaft für jeden, der nicht genug Zeit oder Platz hat, um einen aufgedrehten Hund auszulasten, oder der einfach einen ruhigeren Hund bevorzugt. Wilma wünscht sich nur ein bequemes Bett, Gesellschaft und ganz ganz viele Streicheleinheiten. Ein Katzentest könnte bei Interesse noch durchgeführt werden.

About Wilma

What life with Wilma looks like

Wilma is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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.
