Girella

German Shepherd · Female

Girella kommt ursprünglich von einem römischen Züchter. Ein Schäfer auf Sardinien hatte sich Girella angeschafft, damit sie seine Herde bewacht. Aber Girella entpuppte sich als verspielte, fröhliche Hündin, der es besser gefiel, mit den Schafen zu kuscheln, zu spielen und einfach fröhlich in den Tag zu leben. Das gefiel ihrem Besitzer überhaupt nicht. Schließlich brachte er sie in die LIDA, unser Kooperationstierheim, mit den Worten „nehmt sie oder sie kommt weg“! Nun ist die hübsche Girella im Tierheim und versteht die Welt nicht mehr. Sie hat doch nichts falsch gemacht – für sie war das Leben bunt und schön. Sie ist nun kurze Zeit hier und zeigt sich devot und ängstlich. Wir wissen nicht, was der Schäfer gemacht hat, um ihr beizubringen, wie sie zu funktionieren hat. Wenn wir ins Gehege kommen, versteckt sie sich, sie lässt sich aber anfassen und streicheln, kann es aber nicht genießen. Steht man vor dem Gehege, kommt sie und nimmt auch Leckerlis aus der Hand. Wir denken, dass sie mit ein wenig Zeit und Geduld schnell Vertrauen fassen wird. Wir suchen für die liebe, aber noch devote Hündin ein schönes Zuhause, wo sie zum ersten Mal Liebe und Geborgenheit erfährt. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Ihre Menschen sollten Hundeerfahrung und einen gut eingezäunten Garten haben. Haben sie Fragen zu Girella? Dann nehmen sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Gerne beantworten wir Ihre Fragen. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Girella

What life with Girella looks like

Girella is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Girella, answered.

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