Laila

Female · Senior · 11 years

I am Laila, a sweet but very insecure and anxious female dog looking for a wonderful home. This is me: I was seized for animal welfare reasons and am a rather quiet, sensitive dog lady who is quite anxious and insecure at first. However, once I have gained trust in a person, I show my loving and affectionate side. Until then, I need a bit more time and patience. I am very cautious around strangers. I need time to get to know someone and feel safe. I get along well with other dogs and let them pass me calmly. Therefore, I could easily share my new home with a suitable first dog. I am also housebroken and enjoy food games. I am quite vocal. Especially with strangers, I can also speak my mind for a while. But otherwise, I also like to comment on my surroundings loudly - there is a lot of uncertainty in that. A heart murmur was detected in me, for which I receive medication. I also had mammary tumors, but they were removed here at the shelter. I wish for... a loving home with dog-experienced people who have a lot of patience and understanding for me and gently conquer my heart. I am a sweet dog - just very insecure and anxious. A quiet living environment with as little hustle and bustle as possible is very important to me. A hectic household would not be for me. Children should not live in my new home. A friendly, suitable second dog would be possible, however. Please plan several visits to get to know each other at the shelter. Do you have a heart for a little anxious dog? If you are interested, please contact us via the application form below or by phone at Lassie-Haus (daily 1-4 pm except Saturdays). Maybe I can show you what a sweet dog is in me soon!

Ich bin Laila … eine liebe, aber sehr unsichere und ängstliche Hündin auf der Suche nach einem ganz tollen Zuhause. Das bin ich: Ich wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt und bin eine eher ruhige, sensible Hundedame, die anfangs ganz schön ängstlich und unsicher ist. Wenn ich Vertrauen zu einem Menschen gefasst habe, zeige ich aber meine liebe und zugewandte Seite. Bis dahin brauche ich allerdings etwas mehr Zeit und Geduld. Fremden Menschen gegenüber bin ich zunächst sehr vorsichtig. Ich brauche Zeit, um jemanden kennenzulernen und mich sicher zu fühlen. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich gut und lasse mich auch ruhig an ihnen vorbeiführen. Deshalb könnte ich mir mein neues Zuhause durchaus mit einem passenden Ersthund teilen. Außerdem bin ich stubenrein und mag Futterspiele. Ich bin ziemlich bellfreudig. Besonders bei fremden Menschen kann ich auch mal länger meine Meinung sagen. Aber auch sonst kommentiere ich meine Umgebung ganz gern mal lautstark – da steckt viel Unsicherheit drin. Bei mir wurde ein Herzgeräusch festgestellt, dafür bekomme ich Medikamente. Außerdem hatte ich Mammatumore, die aber hier im Tierheim entfernt wurden. Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die viel Geduld und Verständnis für mich haben und mein Herz behutsam erobern. Ich bin eine liebe Hündin – eben nur sehr unsicher und ängstlich. Besonders wichtig ist mir eine ruhige Wohnumgebung mit möglichst wenig Trubel. Ein hektischer Haushalt wäre nichts für mich. Kinder sollten nicht in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Ein freundlicher, passender Zweithund wäre dagegen durchaus möglich. Bitte plane mehrere Besuche zum Kennenlernen im Tierheim ein Hast du ein Herz für ein kleines Angsthündchen? Melde dich bei Interesse gern über das untenstehende Anfrageformular oder telefonisch im Lassie-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags). Vielleicht darf ich dir ja schon bald zeigen, was für eine liebe Hündin in mir steckt!

About Laila

What life with Laila looks like

Laila is a small senior dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Laila, answered.

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