Dahlia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Dahlia arrived at our shelter along with Hunter and Camilla after their previous owners surrendered the three dogs. We do not know what experiences she had in her life so far. However, one thing is clear: Dahlia has had few opportunities to build trust with humans and explore the world. Therefore, she approaches new situations and strangers cautiously and hesitantly at first. The reserved mouse prefers to observe from a safe distance and needs some time to open up. However, she never shows aggression - she is simply a gentle dog who must learn that no one wants to harm her today. Dahlia is already making progress every day with her familiar caregivers. She slowly begins to allow closeness and orientate herself towards people. It is precisely these small moments that show how much potential she has and how much she longs for security and comfort. The dog ABC is still on Dahlia's agenda. Walking on a leash is already being practiced, and with each positive experience, her self-confidence grows a little more. We wish Dahlia a quiet, loving home with patient people who do not expect anything from her, but give her the time she needs. People who are happy about every small progress and show her that trust can grow. As an apartment dog, Dahlia is not really suitable. In a house with direct garden access in a very quiet residential area, she would certainly feel very comfortable. Whoever gives Dahlia this chance will experience how a shy little girl gradually becomes a loyal companion. Because behind her cautious nature lies a loving soul that is just waiting to finally arrive. Dahlia could be vaccinated, chipped, spayed, dewormed, with an EU vaccination passport, after a positive pre-check and protection contract, travel to Berlin or Stuttgart.

Dahlia kam gemeinsam mit Hunter und Camilia in unser Tierheim, nachdem ihre bisherigen Besitzer die drei Hunde abgegeben hatten. Welche Erfahrungen sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben gemacht hat, wissen wir nicht. Doch eines fällt schnell auf: Dahlia hatte bislang nur wenige Möglichkeiten, Vertrauen zu Menschen aufzubauen und die Welt kennenzulernen. Deshalb begegnet sie neuen Situationen und fremden Menschen zunächst vorsichtig und zurückhaltend.Die zurückhaltende Maus beobachtet lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung und braucht etwas Zeit, um sich zu öffnen. Dabei zeigt sie jedoch niemals Aggression – sie ist einfach eine sanfte Hündin, die lernen muss, dass ihr heute niemand mehr etwas Böses möchte. Mit ihren vertrauten Betreuern macht Dahlia bereits jeden Tag kleine Fortschritte. Langsam beginnt sie, Nähe zuzulassen und sich an den Menschen zu orientieren. Es sind genau diese kleinen Momente, die zeigen, wie viel Potenzial in ihr steckt und wie sehr sie sich nach Sicherheit und Geborgenheit sehnt. Auch das Hunde-ABC steht für Dahlia noch auf dem Stundenplan. Das Laufen an der Leine wird bereits geübt und mit jeder positiven Erfahrung wächst ihr Selbstvertrauen ein kleines Stück mehr.Für Dahlia wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die keine Erwartungen an sie stellen, sondern ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Menschen, die sich über jeden noch so kleinen Fortschritt freuen und ihr zeigen, dass Vertrauen wachsen darf. Als Wohnungshund ist Dahlia eher nicht geeignet. In einem Haus mit direkten Gartenzugang, in einem sehr ruhigen Wohngebiet, würde sie sich sicherlich sehr wohlfühlen. Wer Dahlia diese Chance schenkt, wird erleben, wie aus einer schüchternen Hündin nach und nach eine treue Begleiterin wird. Denn hinter ihrer vorsichtigen Art verbirgt sich eine liebevolle Seele, die nur darauf wartet, endlich anzukommen.Dahlia könnte geimpft, gechipt, kastriert, entwurmt, mit EU-Impfpass, nach positiver Vorkontrolle und Schutzvertrag, nach Berlin oder Stuttgart reisen.

About Dahlia

What life with Dahlia looks like

Dahlia is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at animals care - Tierschutz ohne Grenzen in Ketzin.

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 Dahlia, answered.

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