How do I contact the shelter about Chaya?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chaya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chaya if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Chaya 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 Chaya 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 Furbys FellFreunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chaya 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.

Chaya

Labrador Retriever · Female

Chaya was abandoned with her seven siblings in the middle of nowhere. They were so small that they couldn't survive on their own. Fortunately, a foster home was found that raised the little ones with a bottle. Then she was lucky again and was able to move to a foster home in 19243 Wittenburg. The pretty little dog shows herself to be a little treasure here. After just 10 days, she is house trained and already understands small commands. She stays calm in her box during home office. She lives with a child (11 years old) and can already be alone with the pack for a short time, drives super in the car and walks well on a leash. Chaya and the existing female dog don't get along optimally. Since we don't know what it is, there should be no female dog in the future home. Chaya is very intelligent and understands what you want from her. However, she is now entering puberty, where she wants to assert her head. Therefore, future owners should have dog experience and continue to lead her confidently, but also consistently. A garden is a prerequisite for adoption. A social male dog can live in the family. If you would like to learn more about Chaya, please feel free to contact us. Chaya was chipped, vaccinated and traveled with an EU passport in a transport registered with the German Veterinary Office when she left.

Chaya wurde mit ihren sieben Geschwistern im Nirgendwo ausgesetzt. Sie waren noch so klein, dass sie alleine nicht lebensfähig waren. Zum Glück fand sich eine Pflegestelle, die die Kleinen mit der Flasche aufzog. Dann hatte sie noch einmal Glück und durfte auf eine Pflegestelle nach 19243 Wittenburg ziehen. Die hübsche Hündin zeigt sich hier als kleines Goldstück. Nach nur 10 Tagen ist sie stubenrein und versteht schon kleine Kommandos. Beim Homeoffice bleibt sie ruhig in ihrer Box liegen. Sie lebt zusammen mit einem Kind (11 Jahre) zusammen, sie kann schon kurze Zeit mit dem Rudel allein bleiben, fährt super im Auto mit und geht gut an der Leine. Chaya und die vorhandene Hündin kommen nicht optimal miteinander aus. Da wir nicht wissen, woran es liegt, sollte im zukünftigen Zuhause keine Hündin leben. Chaya ist sehr intelligent und versteht, was man von ihr will. Allerdings kommt sie jetzt in das Pubertäts-Alter, wo sie ihren Kopf durchsetzen will. Daher sollten die zukünftigen Besitzer Hundeerfahrung haben und sie weiterhin souverän, aber auch konsequent führen. Ein Garten ist Voraussetzung für die Übernahme. Gerne kann ein sozialer Rüde in der Familie leben. Wenn Sie mehr über Chaya erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Chaya war bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reiste mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Chaya

What life with Chaya looks like

Chaya is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
