Diva (reserviert)

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 1 year

To put it bluntly: In the first few months of her life, Diva was in the wrong hands. Apparently, her owners didn’t teach her anything and soon found themselves overwhelmed by her—no surprise there. Rather than making an effort or enrolling her in dog training, they simply handed “their problem” over to us. At first, she was incredibly hyper and wild, but with the help of our dog walkers, she learned a lot and eventually found a forever home. Actually, everything was fine—she got along wonderfully with her new people and was absolutely friendly. She also behaved superbly on the leash; she’s smart and learns very quickly. She still isn’t quite comfortable being left alone yet. Unfortunately, though, she just couldn’t get along with cats at all. She wouldn’t leave them alone, and things weren’t ideal even with the resident dog, as food jealousy always seemed to play a role. Now we’re once again looking for a home for Diva—without cats. Absolutely without cats. She’s playful and cuddly, travels well in the car, continues to learn something new every day, and longs for active people who’ll spend plenty of time with her and keep her mentally and physically stimulated. If you’re interested in getting to know Diva better, please send us a detailed email.

DE·Show original

Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen: Diva war in den ersten Monaten ihres Lebens in den falschen Händen. Die Besitzer brachten ihr anscheinend nichts bei und waren dann nach einiger Zeit mit ihr überfordert – was nicht überraschend ist. Anstatt sich zu bemühen oder eine Hundeschule zu besuchen, gaben sie „ihr Problem” bei uns ab. Anfangs war sie super aufgedreht und wild, aber mit Hilfe unserer Gassigänger hat sie viel gelernt und wurde schließlich vermittelt. Eigentlich war auch alles in Ordnung, mit ihren neuen Menschen hat sie sich super verstanden und war absolut freundlich. An der Leine benahm sie sich auch super, sie ist klug und lernt sehr schnell. Alleine bleiben kann sie noch nicht wirklich gut. Leider vertrug sie sich aber absolut nicht mit den Katzen. Sie ließ sie nicht in Ruhe und auch mit der vorhandenen Hündin war es nicht ideal, da spielte immer etwas Futterneid mit. Nun suchen wir erneut einen Platz für Diva – ohne Katzen. Ohne Katzen. Sie ist verspielt und verschmust, fährt gut im Auto mit, lernt täglich dazu und wünscht sich aktive Menschen, die viel mit ihr unternehmen und sie auslasten. Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Diva interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Diva (reserviert)

What life with Diva (reserviert) looks like

Diva (reserviert) is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 Diva (reserviert), answered.

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