Karla

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Karla, born circa 2023, spayed, estimated 29 cm shoulder height, with Georgiana since 2026 Karla did not have a particularly beautiful start in life. Together with her puppies, she was simply abandoned in Romania. Suddenly the little family was left to fend for itself - without protection, without security and without people who cared for them. Fortunately, Karla and her puppies were found in time and brought to Georgiana. There they are now in safety and are lovingly cared for. Karla is a small dog with a big heart, just 29 cm shoulder height. She is about 3 years old and is friendly, loving and pleasant to be around. She is also good with other dogs. Now a new chapter is to begin for Karla - one in which she is no longer just there for her puppies, but can finally be the center of attention herself. Karla has already experienced a lot and deserves people who show her how beautiful a home of her own can be. A cozy bed, regular walks, cuddling sessions and people with whom she can feel safe and secure. She does not have to be perfect and not be able to do everything from the start. What is more important are people who give her time to settle in quietly and let her trust grow further. With her manageable size of just 29 cm, Karla fits in wonderfully with people who want a small four-legged companion. But even if she is small, she naturally wants to discover the world, enjoy walks and participate in family life. It would be especially nice to have a home where Karla can finally experience what a carefree dog life feels like - without the responsibility for her puppies, without uncertainty and without fear of losing everything again. Karla cannot change her past. But together we can ensure that her future is very different. Maybe you are exactly the person who Karla can finally come to - as a beloved family dog who, after everything that lies behind her, now simply deserves one thing: a home of her own and a lot of love.

Karla, geboren ca. 2023, kastriert, 29 cm Schulterhöhe geschätzt, bei Georgiana seit 2026 Karla hatte keinen besonders schönen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit ihren Welpen wurde sie in Rumänien einfach ausgesetzt. Plötzlich war die kleine Familie auf sich allein gestellt – ohne Schutz, ohne Sicherheit und ohne Menschen, die sich um sie kümmerten. Zum Glück wurden Karla und ihre Welpen rechtzeitig gefunden und zu Georgiana gebracht. Dort sind sie nun in Sicherheit und werden liebevoll versorgt. Karla ist mit ihren gerade einmal 29 cm Schulterhöhe eine kleine Hündin mit einem ganz großen Herzen. Sie ist etwa 3 Jahre alt und zeigt sich freundlich, lieb und angenehm im Umgang. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist sie gut verträglich. Nun soll für Karla ein neues Kapitel beginnen – eines, in dem sie nicht mehr nur für ihre Welpen da sein muss, sondern endlich selbst im Mittelpunkt stehen darf. Karla hat bereits viel erlebt und verdient Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Ein gemütliches Körbchen, regelmäßige Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Kuschelstunden und Menschen, bei denen sie sich sicher und geborgen fühlen darf. Sie muss nicht perfekt sein und auch nicht von Anfang an alles können. Viel wichtiger sind Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und ihr Vertrauen weiter wachsen zu lassen. Mit ihrer handlichen Größe von nur 29 cm passt Karla wunderbar zu Menschen, die sich eine kleine vierbeinige Begleiterin wünschen. Doch auch wenn sie klein ist, möchte sie natürlich die Welt entdecken, Spaziergänge genießen und am Familienleben teilhaben. Besonders schön wäre ein Zuhause, in dem Karla endlich erfahren darf, wie sich ein sorgenfreies Hundeleben anfühlt – ohne die Verantwortung für ihre Welpen, ohne Unsicherheit und ohne Angst, wieder alles zu verlieren. Karla kann ihre Vergangenheit nicht ändern. Aber wir können gemeinsam dafür sorgen, dass ihre Zukunft ganz anders aussieht. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, bei dem Karla endlich ankommen darf – als geliebte Familienhündin, die nach allem, was hinter ihr liegt, nun einfach nur noch eines verdient: ein eigenes Zuhause und ganz viel Liebe.

About Karla

What life with Karla looks like

Karla is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Karla, answered.

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