How do I contact the shelter about Dara?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dara if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Dara 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 Dara 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dara and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Dara

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

♀, born 2/2018, familiar-mag Katzen-agilin Bulgarien Dara is a mixed-breed female dog born in 2018 with a shoulder height of approximately 48-50 cm and a weight of approximately 18 kg. This little treasure wandered through the streets hungrily, searching for something to eat. The neighbors did not want this little mouse to stay and tried to poison her. Fortunately, a man had pity and brought her to the vet. Our Bulgarian animal welfare colleague was informed and picked her up. Dara is a loving female dog who loves both big and small people. She likes to play and just wants to please her person. There are no problems with children. She also gets along very well with cats. She neither chases cats nor is she aggressive. At first, she was at another foster home in Bulgaria. However, it turned out that Dara does not get along with other female dogs. She does not like them. We suspect that there was a biting incident and that is why she does not like them. But we can only guess. On the current foster home, she lives with male dogs and cats, and there are no problems. It would be highly recommended to attend the dog training classes with her to learn the dog basics and to reinforce what is learned. Dara is a cuddly, loving female dog who has been waiting so long to be seen. She would be great with a family with children from kindergarten age and social cats. She loves cuddling with people and also finds a hold with the person during walks, then she is balanced and calm. She runs well on a leash. Alone, Dara is unsettled. She likes car rides, there are no problems there. Also, the trip to the vet does not cause any problems. She is completely healthy, and all blood values are within the normal range. Fire of any kind makes Dara afraid. Also, matches - it is important to know! She also gets scared by thunder and lightning. She does not like to eat near other dogs. We can envision her in a family, preferably with an intact male, but NO female dogs!!! Otherwise, she is a wonderful, age-appropriate agile female dog who participates in everything and now only needs her perfect family! Dara is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and has already been tested negative for Mediterranean diseases. She is in a private foster home in Bulgaria. The adoption fee for Dara is 460 Euros.

♀, geb. 2/2018familiär-mag Katzen-agilin Bulgarien Dara ist eine 2/2018 geborene Mischlingshündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 48-50 cm und einem Gwicht von ca. 18 Kg. Dieser kleine Schatz irrte hungrig durch die Straßen und suchte etwas zu essen. Die Anwohner wollten nicht, dass diese kleine Maus da bleibt und versuchten sie zu vergiften. Zum Glück hatte ein Mann Mitleid und brachte sie zum Tierarzt. Unsere bulgarische Tierschutzkollegin wurden informiert und holten sie ab. Dara ist eine liebe Hündin ,die große und kleine Menschen liebt. Sie spielt gerne und möchte ihren Menschen einfach nur gefallen. Mit Kindern gibt es keine Probleme. Auch versteht sie sich sehr gut mit Katzen. Sie jagt weder Katzen noch ist sie aggressiv. Zuerst war sie auf einer anderen Pflegestelle in Bulgarien. Es stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass Dara mit Hündinnen sich nicht versteht. Diese mag sie nicht. Wir vermuten, dass es mal eine Beißerei gab und sie deshalb sie nicht mag. Können es aber nur erahnen. Auf der aktuellen Pflegestelle lebt sie mit Rüden und Katzen zusammen. Da gibt es keinerlei Probleme. Es wäre sehr empfehlenswert, mit ihr die Hundeschule zu besuchen, um das Hundeeinmaleins zu erlernen und Gelerntes zu festigen. Dara ist eine verschmuste liebe Hündin, die schon so lange darauf wartet, endlich gesehen zu werden. Gerne zu einer Familie mit Kindern ab Kindergartenalter und zu sozialen Katzen. Sie liebt Kuscheln mit den Menschen und findet auch beim Gassi gehen Halt bei dem Menschen und ist dann ausgeglichen und ruhig.. Sie läuft gut an der Leine. Alleine ist Dara verunsichert. Autofahren mag sie, da gibt es keine Probleme. Auch der Gang zum Tierarzt bereitet keine Probleme. Sie ist vollkommen gesund und alle Blutwerte sind im Normalbereich.. Feuer jeder Art macht Dara Angst. Auch Feuerzeuge - das ist wichtig zu wissen! Auch hat sie Angst bei Blitz und Donner. Sie mag nicht in Nähe von anderen Hunden fressen. Wir können sie uns in einer Familie vorstellen, gerne mit einem ErstRÜDEN, jedoch KEINE Hündinnen!!! Ansonsten ist sie eine tolle, altersentsprechend agile Hündin die alles mitmacht und nun nur noch ihre passende Familie braucht! Dara wird geimpft, kastriert, gechipt und bereits negativ auf Mittelmeererkrankungen getestet vermittelt. Sie befindet sich in einer privaten Pflegestelle in Bulgarien. Die Schutzgebühr für Dara beträgt 460 Euro. Sie haben ein passendes Zuhause für Dara? Dann melden Sie sich über das folgende Kontaktformular. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V..

About Dara

What life with Dara looks like

Dara is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
