Sania

Labrador Retriever · Female

Breed: Labrador-Staffordshire Mix, approximately 50 cm compatibility with others: Upon request, currently sits alone; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested. Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Surrender reason: Sania, the found dog, leads a very lonely and sad life in the station. She sits alone in the yard and has neither walks nor runs. Additionally, she lacks human affection. Being confined for 24 hours is not species-appropriate. Her emotional loneliness is very great. She is very quiet. She is attentive at the fence and would like to come along. For further information, please feel free to ask.

Rasse: Labrador-Staffordshire Mix, ca. 50 cm Verträglichkeit: Auf Anfrage, sitzt derzeit alleine; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Fundhündin Sania führt ein sehr einsames und tristes Leben in der Station. Sie sitzt alleine im Zwinger und hat weder Auslauf noch Spaziergänge. Zudem fehlt es ihr an menschlicher Zuwendung. 24 Stunden eingesperrt zu sein ist kein artgerechtes Leben. Die seelische Einsamkeit ist sehr groß bei ihr. Sie ist sehr ruhig. Am Gitter ist sie aufmerksam und möchte gerne mitkommen. Bei Interesse erfragen wir gerne weitere Informationen.

About Sania

What life with Sania looks like

Sania is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 Sania, answered.

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