Adopt Canela

Mixed Breed · Female

Residence: 66540 Wiebelskirchen Canela, our "little diva with a big cuddle heart"! Canela has been waiting so long for her -forever home- which we simply don't understand. Is it because of her age? The gray snout? Her personality? Unfortunately, she is often overlooked or even "sorted out." Sure, she does have her quirks, but don't we all? Canela is rather unobtrusive within the house, but also very watchful, especially within the group. From time to time, when food is unobserved on the table, she will sometimes hide as a sly jay and poach the roast. Otherwise, she just wants to be with your human and give lots of cuddles. That's when the diva comes out, clearly stating within the group that she is not willing to share her human with others, and she will also use her teeth against fellow animals. That's why we would like to place her in a home as a single dog, even though she is generally very compatible with other dogs. Older children are no problem for her at all. When out for a walk, she is always in a good mood but also very attentive, as despite her somewhat advanced age, she hasn't forgotten that she is a hunting dog. She will also sometimes quickly become David Copperfield and slip out of her collar and harness - that's why we only lead her outside the premises with safety harnesses and double-secured. If all of this hasn't deterred you, we assure you that with Canela a fascinating, multifaceted dog will move into your life, who, despite his "quirks," simply makes life fun and gives so much love back. Interested? Then send us a message or call us directly! Assistance in placing with our partner organization Madrigueras e.V.

Aufenthaltsort: 66540 Wiebelskirchen Canela, unsere „kleine Diva mit großem Kuschelherz“! Canela wartet leider schon so lange auf ihr -für immer zuhause – was wir eigentlich überhaupt nicht verstehen. Liegt es an ihrem Alter? An dem grauen Schnäuzchen? An ihrem Charakter? Leider wird sie immer wieder übersehen oder gar “ aussortiert“. Gut, sie hat durchaus die ein oder andere Eigenart, aber haben wir die nicht alle? Canela ist innerhalb des Hauses recht unauffällig, allerdings auch sehr wachsam, vor allem innerhalb der Gruppe. Von Zeit zu Zeit – wenn Essen unbeobachtet auf dem Tisch steht – tarnt sie sich auch mal als diebische Elster und Schwups ist der Braten weg. Ansonsten will sie einfach nur gerne bei Ihrem Menschen sein und ausgiebig kuscheln. Hier kommt dann auch die Diva zum Vorschein, die innerhalb der Gruppe klar Bescheid sagt, dass sie nicht gewillt ist, ihren Menschen mit den anderen zu teilen, wobei sie hier auch durchaus ihre Zähne gegen Artgenossen einsetzen kann. Deswegen würden wir sie gerne in ein Zuhause als Einzelhund vermitteln, auch wenn sie prinzipiell sehr verträglich mit Hunden ist. Ältere Kinder sind gar kein Problem für Sie. Beim Spazieren gehen ist die immer gut gelaunt, aber auch sehr aufmerksam, was Ausenreize betrifft, denn trotz ihres etwas fortgeschrittenen Alters hat sie nicht vergessen, dass sie ein Jagdhund ist. Da wird sie auch mal schnell zu David Copperfield und schlüpft aus Halsband und Geschirr- deswegen führen wir sie außerhalb des Geländes nur mit Sicherheitsgeschirr und doppelt gesichert. Wenn Sie all das nicht abgeschreckt hat, versichern wir Ihnen, dass mit Canela ein spannender, facettenreicher Hund in Ihr Leben einziehen wird, der trotz “ Macken“ einfach nur Spaß macht und so viel Liebe zurückgibt. Interesse? Dann schreibt uns eine Nachricht oder ruft uns einfach direkt an! Vermittlungshilfe für unseren Partnerverein Madrigueras e.V.

About Canela

What life with Canela looks like

Canela is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierleben Deutschland e.V. in Landau in der Pfalz.

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 Canela, answered.

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