Canada

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

During our Sardinia tour in March 2026, a visit to LIDA’s refuge in Olbia was naturally part of our itinerary. Since the weather on this trip was also quite mixed and heavy rain showers repeatedly disrupted our photo sessions, we weren’t able to photograph all the dogs Marco had arranged for us in a single day. So we had to make a second trip to the refuge. And as it started raining heavily again on the way there, we already thought that this appointment, too, would literally fall by the wayside. But when we arrived at the refuge, the rain had stopped. And fortunately, this large sibling group had taken shelter under a protective roof during the rain, so they were at least somewhat dry. Upon our arrival at the enclosure, we were joyfully greeted by eleven young dogs: Cannella, Canada, CocoChanel, Cuda, Caramella, Cheope, Chiquita, Chimera, as well as Clash and Cash. The twelfth sibling, Clelia, was housed elsewhere because she’d been bullied within the group. We didn’t meet Clelia until later. Marco told us that this dozen puppies had been born to a shepherd. It’s not known whether they all share the same mother. But it wouldn’t be unusual for a Maremmano dog to give birth to twelve pups. We can be glad these little ones ended up at the refuge. After all, ten of them are females... One can hardly imagine how many more puppies they would have produced if they’d stayed in the countryside with the shepherd! In any case, it was great fun getting to know these young dogs. However, being picked up and held in arms for photos made them a bit uneasy—after all, they weren’t used to that. Otherwise, though, they all happily romped around us, eager to closely observe everything we were doing. For Cannella, Canada, CocoChanel, Cuda, Caramella, Cheope, Chiquita, Chimera, and Clelia—as well as the boys Clash and Cash—it would be crucial for their further development that they be able to leave the refuge as soon as possible. The sooner they find themselves in a family environment, the better. On our team project tour, alongside wonderful partners, we got to know twelve very special furry friends. The siblings have developed splendidly—still a bit reserved, yet incredibly sweet, curious, and open-minded. Every bit of attention means a lot to them, and now they’re hoping to soon join their own families and finally find happiness in a loving home. May 29, 2026: Canada was able to travel to her foster home in Germany. June 8, 2026: Canada, affectionately called “Candy” at her foster home, is a wonderfully attentive and sensitive dog. From day one, she has harmoniously integrated into the existing dog group and proves herself to be an absolute team player there. Currently, she’s diligently practicing the basics of everyday dog life, such as walking on a leash and house training. With her enormous curiosity and an unquenchable desire to learn, she masters this daily training with flying colors.

Während unserer Sardinientour im März 2026 stand natürlich auch der Besuch des Rifugios der LIDA in Olbia auf unserem Plan. Weil auch bei dieser Reise das Wetter sehr durchwachsen war und immer wieder starke Regenschauer unsere Fotoaktion beeinträchtigten, konnten wir nicht alle Hunde, die Marco für uns vorgesehen hatte, an einem Tag fotografieren.Wir mussten also noch ein zweites Mal zum Rifugio fahren. Und als unterwegs wieder heftig schüttete, dachten wir schon, auch dieser Termin würde nun buchstäblich ins Wasser fallen. Aber als wir im Rifugio ankamen, hörte es auf zu regnen. Und glücklicherweise hatten sich diese große Geschwistergruppe während des Regens unter ein schützendes Dach verzogen, sodass sie doch einigermaßen trocken waren.Bei unserer Ankunft am Gehege wurden wir schon freudig von elf Hundekindern begrüßt: Cannella, Canada, CocoChanel, Cuda, Caramella, Cheope, Chiquita, Chimera sowie Clash und Cash. Das zwölfte Geschwisterchen Clelia war woanders untergebracht, weil es in der Gruppe gemobbt worden war. Clelia lernten wir also erst später kennen.Marco erzählte uns, dass dieses Dutzend Hundekinder bei einem Schäfer zur Welt gekommen waren. Ob sie alle die gleiche Mutter haben, ist nicht bekannt. Aber es wäre auch nicht ungewöhnlich, dass eine Maremmano-Hündin zwölf Welpen zur Welt bringt.Man kann froh sein, dass diese Kleinen im Rifugio gelandet sind. Denn 10 von ihnen sind Weibchen ... Für wie viel Nachwuchs sie gesorgt hätten, wären sie in der Campagna bei dem Schäfer geblieben, mag man sich gar nicht ausrechnen ...Es machte jedenfalls viel Spaß, diese Hundekinder kennenzulernen. Zum Fotografieren auf den Arm genommen zu werden, war ihnen allerdings etwas unheimlich, das waren sie ja nicht gewohnt. Ansonsten tobten aber alle vergnügt um uns herum, wollten alles genau beobachten, was wir da so machten.Für Cannella, Canada, CocoChanel, Cuda, Caramella, Cheope, Chiquita, Chimera und Clelia sowie die Buben Clash und Cash wäre es für ihre weitere Entwicklung wichtig, dass sie das Rifugio so schnell wie möglich hinter sich lassen können. Je eher sie in ein familiäres Umfeld kommen, desto besser. Auf unserer Team-Projekttour durften wir neben tollen Partnerinnen und Partnern auch zwölf ganz besondere Fellnasen kennenlernen. Die Geschwister haben sich prächtig entwickelt – noch ein wenig zurückhaltend, aber dabei unglaublich lieb, neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Jede Aufmerksamkeit bedeutet ihnen viel, und nun hoffen sie darauf, bald in ihren eigenen Familien anzukommen und endlich ihr Glück in einem liebevollen Zuhause zu finden. 29. Mai 2026:Canada durfte auf ihren deutschen Pflegeplatz reisen.08. Juni 2026: Canada, die auf der Pflegestelle nur liebevoll „Candy“ genannt wird, ist eine wunderbar achtsame und feinfühlige Hündin. Sie hat sich vom ersten Tag an harmonisch in die bestehende Hundegruppe eingefügt und zeigt sich dort als absolute Teamplayerin. Aktuell übt sie fleißig das Einmaleins des Hundealltags, wie das Gehen an der Leine und die Stubenreinheit. Mit ihrer riesigen Neugier und einem unbändigen Willen zu lernen, meistert sie dieses tägliche Training mit Bravour.

About Canada

What life with Canada looks like

Canada is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Canada, answered.

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