Diva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Diva (born 06/2023) is a small, sweet, sensitive female dog who needs some time to build trust with her people. With strangers she is initially shy and anxious. But once she has gained trust, a very different Diva emerges: she is wonderfully cuddly and eager to please her people. Right now Diva needs a lot of support with the lead. As soon as she is put on a leash, she practically freezes and won't move. Walks are therefore not yet possible at the moment. Gentle training has already begun and will continue to require a lot of patience and empathy. It is also not yet possible to make a reliable statement about car travel. Diva is exceptionally social with other animals. She loves playing with other dogs and gets along well with both males and females. She also knows cats and chickens and proves to be a very uncomplicated companion in this regard. A confident, well-socialized first dog would be a great support for Diva. She could take cues from a calm dog and learn from it that the world is not so frightening after all. However, if her people can provide this sense of security themselves, that is not a requirement. Regular contact with other four-legged friends should still take place for her social well-being. For Diva we are looking for people who will give her time, put no pressure on her, and enjoy making small progress together with her. Several getting-to-know-you visits at the foster home are required so that Diva can get to know her future people at her own pace and build trust. Those who give Diva the time she needs will get a very special little dog who can show herself to be quite cuddly, lovable, and cheerful. If you are interested, please get in touch with a short introduction about yourself, your living situation, and a phone number. Diva is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive preliminary check. A safety harness (with 3 straps) is required when collecting the dog. Such a harness can be purchased for only 25€.

Diva (geb. 06/2023) ist eine kleine, liebe, sensible Hündin, die ihren Menschen zunächst etwas Zeit geben möchte, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Fremden gegenüber zeigt sie sich anfangs schüchtern und ängstlich. Hat sie aber erstmal Vertrauen gefasst, kommt eine ganz andere Diva zum Vorschein: total verschmust und möchte ihren Menschen gefallen.Besonders viel Unterstützung braucht Diva aktuell beim Thema Leine. Sobald sie angeleint wird, friert sie regelrecht ein und bewegt sich nicht. Spaziergänge sind deshalb momentan noch nicht möglich. Der behutsame Aufbau hat bereits begonnen und wird weiterhin viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen brauchen. Auch zum Autofahren lässt sich aktuell noch keine verlässliche Aussage treffen.Mit anderen Tieren ist Diva ausgesprochen sozial. Sie liebt es, mit anderen Hunden zu spielen und versteht sich sowohl mit Rüden als auch mit Hündinnen. Auch Katzen und Hühner kennt sie und zeigt sich dahingehend als sehr unkomplizierte Begleiterin. Ein souveräner und gut sozialisierter Ersthund wäre für Diva eine große Unterstützung. Sie könnte sich an einem sicheren Hund orientieren und von ihm lernen, dass die Welt gar nicht so beängstigend ist. Sofern ihre Menschen aber auch diese Sicherheit geben können, ist dies jedoch keine Voraussetzung. Kontakt mit anderen Vierbeinern sollte für das Sozialbefinden dennoch gerne regelmäßig stattfinden. Für Diva suchen wir Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, keinen Druck ausüben und Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihr kleine Fortschritte zu machen. Mehrere Kennenlernbesuche auf der Pflegestelle sind Voraussetzung, damit Diva ihre zukünftigen Menschen in ihrem Tempo kennenlernen und Vertrauen aufbauen kann.Wer Diva die nötige Zeit schenkt, bekommt eine ganz besondere kleine Hündin, die sich durchaus verschmust, liebenswert und fröhlich zeigen kann. Bei Interesse melde dich bitte mit einer kleinen Vorstellung zu dir, deinen Lebensumständen und der Angabe einer Telefonnummer. Diva ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung des Hundes notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3 Riemen) kann für nur 25€ mit erworben werden.

About Diva

What life with Diva looks like

Diva is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Diva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diva if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vierbeiner in Not 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Diva 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 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diva 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.
