Cola

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Dog's name: Cola (Collie) Gender: male neutered: Yes Breed: mixed breed Age: 4 years Waiting since: April 2021 Size: 48 cm Weight: 13 kg Background: Cola is one of five dogs who were kept in outdoor enclosures in a rural village, possibly for the dog meat trade. He was rescued after a local resident reported it and brought to a city animal shelter. Character description: Cola is very shy in unfamiliar environments and toward strangers, but has never tried to bite or shown aggression towards people. He is cooperative and calm during medical treatments, grooming, nail trimming, and bathing. Cat friendly: Yes Dog friendly: Yes He likes other dogs very much and relies on them, which gives him security and confidence. Vaccinated: Yes Fully vaccinated. Special features: Extra caution is needed in unfamiliar environments to prevent him from escaping. He walks well on a leash and is fully house trained. In a home with a confident, open dog, he would probably gain confidence quickly. His current foster home has only cats. At the animal shelter, he was good friends with a dog named Yangdol.

About Cola

What life with Cola looks like

Cola is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Hands meet Korean Paws e.V. in Ebstorf.

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 Cola, answered.

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