Greta

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Greta was found on an abandoned and fenced-in property. Unfortunately, we do not know how she got there or if she was simply abandoned. Fortunately, she was spared the transfer to a municipal animal shelter and was taken directly to Gisela's private animal shelter. There, she can at least play with other dogs, interact with people, and not have to sit alone in a kennel all the time. Greta is a trouble-free dog, getting along well with other animals and showing no fear of people, with no hesitation in approaching the people there with great friendliness. Of course, everything is still new, but she is a young dog and adapts quickly to the new situation. It would be her wish to move into her own home soon, so she can finally experience what a dog's life can be like. If you are interested in Greta, please contact us.

DE·Show original

Greta wurde auf einem verlassenen und eingezäunten Grundstück gefunden. Wie sie dorthin kam, ob man sich einfach ihrer entledigen wollte, das wissen wir leider nicht. Zum Glück blieb ihr die Überstellung in ein städtisches Tierheim erspart, da sie ohne Umwege in das private Tierheim von Gisela gebracht wurde. Dort kann sie zumindest mit anderen Hunden toben, hat Kontakt zu Menschen und muss nicht die ganze Zeit alleine in einem Zwinger sitzen. Greta zeigt sich als unproblematische Hündin, sie kommt mit den anderen Vierbeinern gut zurecht und hat keine Angst vor Menschen, sie zeigt keinerlei Berührungsängste und begegnet den Menschen vor Ort mit großer Freundlichkeit. Natürlich ist alles noch neu, aber sie ist ein junges Hundemädchen und passt sich sehr schnell an die neuen Situation an. Es wäre ihr zu wünschen, dass sie schon bald in ihr eigenes Zuhause ziehen könnte, denn dann dürfte sie endlich erfahren, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Falls Sie Interesse an Greta haben sollten, dann melden Sie sich doch bitte bei uns.

About Greta

What life with Greta looks like

Greta is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Canalba e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Greta, answered.

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