Adopt Ida

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Born: ca. 2023/2024 Compatibility with others: Very good with male dogs and female dogs; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested. Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Surrender reason: Dog Ida is simply wonderful! She is very people-oriented, loving, clingy, friendly, and gets along well with other dogs. We don't know if Ida has lived in a house before, but we think she would learn quickly. The same goes for going on a leash. She is very people-friendly and has an open personality. She would also be ideal as a second dog. However, any children in the household should be a bit older. Ida wants to snuggle up to her people, please them, and do everything right. We have taken her directly from the shelter into our hearts.

Geboren: ca. 2023/2024 Verträglichkeit: Sehr gut mit Rüden und Hündinnen verträglich; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Ida ist einfach nur toll! Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen, lieb, anhänglich, freundlich und verträgt sich gut mit anderen Hunden. Ob Ida schon einmal in einem Haus gelebt hat, wissen wir nicht. Wir denken aber, dass sie es schnell lernen würde. Auch was das Gehen an der Leine angeht. Sie ist Menschen gegenüber sehr zugewandt und besitzt ein offenes Wesen. Sie wäre auch als Zweithündin ideal. Mögliche Kinder im Haushalt sollten allerdings etwas größer sein. Ida möchte sich ihren Menschen anschließen, ihnen gefallen und alles richtig machen. Wir haben sie direkt vor Ort in unser Herz geschlossen.

About Ida

What life with Ida looks like

Ida is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 Ida, answered.

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