Adopt Cola

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Cola is a typical Dachshund – charming, clever, and with a healthy portion of independence. The handsome male dog was born in May 2023 and delights with his glossy black-brown coat and his cheerful nature. Toward people, Cola is friendly and open. He enjoys attention, shared walks, and every opportunity to explore his surroundings. He especially loves rummaging through tall grass, sniffing exciting trails, and is full of joy in nature. Like many Dachshunds, Cola knows exactly what he wants. If something doesn’t please him, he makes it clear. Therefore, we wish for him a home with dog-experienced people who respect his signals and give him clear, fair boundaries. For families with small children, Cola is therefore not a good fit. The little fellow is built robustly, agile, and active. For those seeking a loyal companion for walks, small adventures, and cozy cuddle hours, Cola could be a very special lifelong friend. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – The Path to a New Life – Tel. and Mail: including safety harness. As we are working, we may not be able to respond to you until several hours later. It is best to contact the above matchmaker initially in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don’t forget to mention your phone number). Please be patient! Our shelter animals travel with Traces and are rehomed exclusively in Germany (nationwide). If you are applying for a dog and are renting, please arrange a written landlord’s statement that dog husbandry is allowed. We match dogs only if no elevator is present, to prevent health limitations.

Cola ist ein typischer Dackel – charmant, clever und mit einer ordentlichen Portion Eigenwillen. Der hübsche Rüde wurde im Mai 2023 geboren und begeistert mit seinem glänzend schwarz-braunen Fell und seinem fröhlichen Wesen. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Cola freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Er genießt Aufmerksamkeit, gemeinsame Spaziergänge und jede Gelegenheit, seine Umgebung zu erkunden. Besonders gerne stöbert er durch hohes Gras, schnuppert spannende Fährten auf und ist mit viel Freude in der Natur unterwegs. Wie viele Dackel weiß auch Cola genau, was er möchte. Wenn ihm etwas nicht gefällt, macht er das deutlich. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die seine Signale respektieren und ihm klare, faire Grenzen geben. Für Familien mit kleinen Kindern ist Cola daher eher nicht geeignet. Der kleine Kerl ist kräftig gebaut, agil und aktiv. Wer einen treuen Begleiter für Spaziergänge, kleine Abenteuer und gemütliche Kuschelstunden sucht, könnte in Cola einen ganz besonderen Freund fürs Leben finden.

About Cola

What life with Cola looks like

Cola is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

An young 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. Glück für Pfoten 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 — Glück für Pfoten 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 Glück für Pfoten 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.
