Clara

Female · Adult · 6 years

EMERGENCY Name: Clara Breed: Maremma Mix Age: born approx. April 2020 Sex: female Size: medium to large / currently 18 kg Neutered/Spayed: not yet Sponsor: Anett Kiese Location / Country: Italy Description Clara – a joyful girl with special needs No one knew whether she was still alive. She lay there, motionless, at the side of the road. Hit by a car and left behind. Many people walked past and paid the poor dog no attention. Time passed, the pain was nearly unbearable, but Clara could not move and could not draw attention to herself. Our animal welfare volunteer was met with a shocking sight when she found Clara. The dog was immediately taken to a clinic and received medical care. Unfortunately, her spinal injuries are so severe that they have resulted in paralysis. Surgery would be futile. But our dear Clara does not dwell on her fate. She accepts it and makes the best of it. She is a cheerful young dog and enjoys life with her foster family and with other dogs. The pictures speak for themselves 🙂 She patiently endures all the necessary treatments and daily care. Physiotherapy also seems to be doing her good. To help Clara get moving, she will soon receive a wheelchair for her hind legs. We can already picture her zooming around with it 🙂 We are looking for people who are fully aware of what it means to take in a dog with a disability, who perhaps already have experience with paralyzed dogs, and who live on the ground floor. Clara does not need pity. Clara needs people who will help her through everyday life, care for her, and give her the love, security, and support that this young dog longs for so much. In return, you will receive a joyful, open, and lovable dog who will go through life with you, with the help of a wheelchair. If you have taken our beautiful Clara into your heart, please get in touch. We are happy to provide further information about Clara and her care needs, and on request we are also glad to share our experience in caring for dogs with special needs. Cat-compatible: unknown Compatible with other dogs: with males, with females Disability: paralyzed Contact person: Sabine Finkenzeller Email: « Livio Akira (Consuelo) » More dogs

NOTFALL Name: Clara. Rasse: Maremma MixAlter: geboren ca. April 2020. Geschlecht: weiblichGröße: mittelgross bis gross/ derzeit 18 kg. Kastriert/Sterilisiert: noch nicht Paten: Anett Kiese Aufenthalts Ort / Land: Italien Beschreibung Clara – ein lebensfrohes Mädchen mit speziellen Bedürfnissen Keiner wusste, ob sie noch lebte. Sie lag da. Regungslos am Straßenrand. Angefahren, liegen gelassen. Viele Leute kamen vorbei, schenkten der armen Hündin keine Beachtung. Die Zeit verstrich, die Schmerzen waren schier nicht mehr auszuhalten, aber Clara konnte sich nicht bewegen, konnte nicht auf sich aufmerksam machen. Unserer Tierschützerin bot sich ein erschütterndes Bild als sie Clara fand. Sofort wurde die Hündin in eine Klinik gebracht und medizinisch versorgt. Leider sind ihre Rückenverletzungen so schwerwiegend, dass sie zu einer Querschnittslähmung geführt haben. Eine OP wäre aussichtslos. Aber unsere liebe Clara hadert nicht mit dem Schicksal. Sie akzeptiert es und macht das Beste draus. Sie ist ein lebensfroher Junghund und genießt das Leben in ihrer Gastfamilie und mit anderen Hunden. Die Bilder sprechen für sich 🙂 Brav lässt sie alle notwendigen Behandlungen und die tägliche Pflege über sich ergehen. Auch die Physiotherapie scheint ihr gut zu tun. Um Clara zu mobilisieren, wird sie bald einen Rollstuhl für die Hinterbeine bekommen. Wir können uns jetzt schon vorstellen wie sie damit durch die Gegend flitzt 🙂 Wir suchen für Clara Leute, die sich bewusst darüber sind, was es heißt einen Hund mit Handicap aufzunehmen, die vielleicht sogar schon Erfahrung mit gelähmten Hunden haben und auf jeden Fall ebenerdig wohnen. Clara braucht kein Mitleid, Clara braucht Menschen, die ihr durch den Alltag helfen, die sie pflegen und ihr die Liebe, Geborgenheit und Unterstützung geben, nach der sich die junge Hündin so sehr sehnt. Im Gegenzug erhalten sie einen lebensfrohen, offenen und liebenswerten Hund, der mit Hilfe eines Rollies gemeinsam mit ihnen durch das Leben gehen wird. Wenn Sie unsere schöne Clara in Ihr Herz geschlossen haben, dann melden Sie sich. Wir geben Ihnen gerne weitere Informationen zu Clara, zu ihrem Pflegebedarf und können auf Wunsch auch gerne unsere Erfahrungswerte im Umgang mit Hunden mit speziellen Bedürfnissen mit Ihnen teilen. Katzenverträglich: unbekannt. Verträglich mit Artgenossen: mit Rüden, mit HündinnenHandicap: gelähmt Ansprechpartner:Sabine Finkenzeller Email: « Livio Akira (Consuelo) » Weitere Hunde

About Clara

What life with Clara looks like

Clara is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Adozioni del cuore e.V. in Wedel.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Clara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Clara?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Adozioni del cuore e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Clara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Clara if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Adozioni del cuore e.V. whether they will for Clara, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Clara already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Adozioni del cuore e.V. lists Clara as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Adozioni del cuore e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Clara isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Adozioni del cuore e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Clara 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.
