Adopt Cara

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 4 years

For interest in our dear Cara, please send us the completed application form. Our dogs, such as Cara, usually come directly from Turkey to their families. What we know about Cara: This dear soul, born around 2020, we met at the godforsaken animal shelter in Trabzon and simply couldn't leave her there. Because our Labradormix Cara just wants to be part of it. She doesn't know that in dog years she's already middle-aged; the world is still her playground, and she meets everything and everyone with curiosity. Physically, she's typically Labrador in build, her fur has lightened somewhat, and she has an interesting check pattern around her face. Cara wishes for nothing more than more playtime, a proper grooming session with the brush, and her very own home. She gets along well with her fellow animals and is always happy to meet new people. Maybe she hasn't learned many commands yet, but as a half-Labrador, she'll learn them in a flash for a few tasty treats. Nice to know: Here, Cara is still very much a young pup. For interest in our dear Cara, please send us the completed application form:

Bei Interesse an unserer lieben Cara schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Unsere Hunde - so auch Cara - kommen in der Regel direkt aus der Türkei zu ihren Familien. Was wir über Cara wissen: Diese liebe Seele, geboren ungefähr 2020, haben wir im gottverlassenen Tierheim von Trabzon getroffen und konnten sie einfach nicht dort lassen. Denn unser Labradormix Cara mag einfach mit dabei sein. Sie selbst weiß nicht, dass sie in Hundejahren schon mittleren Alters ist, die Welt ist immer noch ihr Spielplatz und sie begegnet Allem und Jedem mit Neugier. Vom Körperbau her typisch Labrador, ist ihr Fell eher hell geraten und sie ist um das Gesicht herum sogar apart gescheckt. Cara wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als mehr Zeit zum Spielen, eine ordentliche Pflegestunde mit der Bürste und ihr ganz eigenes Zuhause. Sie verträgt sich gut mit ihren Artgenossen und lernt immer wieder gerne neue Menschen kennen. Vielleicht hat sie noch nicht so viele Kommandos drauf, doch als halber Labrador wird sie die im Tausch gegen ein paar schmackhafte Leckerchen sicher ratzfatz lernen. Nice to know: Vom Wesen hier ist Cara noch ein echter Jungspund. Bei Interesse an unserer lieben Cara schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Interessentenbogen bitte an:

About Cara

What life with Cara looks like

Cara is a medium-sized adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Cara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cara if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Care-4-life 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 Cara 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 Cara 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 Care-4-life e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cara 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.
