Canela

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Young, dynamic, cuddly—but still a bit unsure about life: that’s Canela. But it’s no wonder given her past. Life, one could hardly call it that. Her owner fell in love with the little earless dog one day. Then he noticed that such a small dog grows bigger and needs movement and attention. He couldn’t or wouldn’t provide that and locked her up in the garage, where she spent almost her entire short life until she ended up at the animal shelter. There, Canela now lives together with two other dogs with whom she gets along well. She would also be content as the sole princess. Although a calm, well-balanced single dog would be a good option. He could take her by the paw and show her what it feels like to go through life as a full-fledged family member. It should be clear that it will take some time for Canela to get used to a “normal” family life. She hasn’t experienced that yet. Being alone isn’t her thing either; she’s stressed about it. But with patience and empathy from her future humans, she can also manage that!

Jung, dynamisch,verschmust – aber noch etwas unsicher im Leben stehend: das ist Canela. Aber das ist auch kein Wunder bei ihrem bisherigen Leben. Obwohl, Leben kann man das auch nicht nennen. Ihr Besitzer verliebte sich spontan in das kleine Segelohr. Dann bemerkte er, dass so ein kleiner Hund größer wird, Bewegung und Aufmerksamkeit braucht. Das konnte oder wollte er ihr nicht bieten und sperrte sie daraufhin in die Garage ein wo sie fast ihr gesamtes kurzes Leben verbringen musste, bis sie im Tierheim landete. Dort lebt Canela mittlerweile zusammen mit 2 anderen Hunden mit denen sie sich gut versteht. Sie wäre aber auch als alleinige Prinzessin zufrieden. Wobei ein ruhiger ausgeglichener Ersthund eine gute Option wäre. Er könnte sie an die Pfote nehmen und ihr zeigen, wie es sich anfühlt, als vollwertiges Familienmitglied durchs Leben zu gehen. Es sollte klar sein, dass es mit Canela gewiss etwas dauern wird, bis man sie an einen „normalen“ Familienalltag gewöhnt hat. Sie kennt das alles noch gar nicht. Das Alleinsein ist auch noch nicht so ganz ihr Ding, da hat sie Stress. Aber mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen ihrer zukünftigen Menschen schafft sie auch das!

About Canela

What life with Canela looks like

Canela is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 — Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Tierschutzverein Europa 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.
