How do I contact the shelter about Layla?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Layla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Layla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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 Layla 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 Layla 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Layla and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Layla

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Description Our animal welfare workers report: Layla is unstoppable, she is a true frognature, playful and active. Our strikingly beautiful Layla has a high energy level and loves to play, frolic, and snuggle – with fellow animals (Kleopatra, Mischa, Jack2 are in the same enclosure) and with people. That the young and exceptionally beautiful female dog so energetically and lively wags through life is not taken for granted, for Layla was rescued alongside 32 other dogs in a rescue operation from the city culling in Barlad, a dark place, after local, communal authorities ordered the culling of around 200 dogs in March 2025. Already at the first visit by the animal rescuers at the culling shelter, the open-nosed Layla successfully drew attention and was immediately taken in. Layla doesn’t much like feminine reserve, she is a true wild thing. Her pretty snout squeezes through all the bars and tries to gain the cuddles of the waiting animal caretaker’s hands, the enclosure is unfortunately far too cramped for the dogs living there, they especially lack stimulation and affection! As soon as a fellow animal (Kleopatra; Mischa) is placed on the roof of the hut for photos or petting in Layla’s enclosure, she wants to jump up too, she then impatiently works on her animal caretaker with her paws, nudges her distinctly, and fights her way forward – why should Layla settle for second place? ‘Layla first’ is her motto and has been so far. Layla belongs, along with Nuri and Ginger, who were also rescued, to the alpha females among the 32 rescued dogs, who are very present and desperately want to be seen. With Layla as the playful frognature, pure joie de vivre will be in the new home. The medium-sized, natural beauty is happy with suitable, caring applicants so she can finally start a new, carefree chapter and escape the confines of the enclosure. Update 13.03.2026 new photos. A club colleague was on site and reports: Layla is open and active, but at the same time also gentle. She approached me friendly and interested and sought contact.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Layla ist nicht zu stoppen, sie ist eine wahre Frohnatur, verspielt und aktiv. Unsere bildhübsche Layla hat ein hohes Energielevel und mag es sehr zu spielen, zu toben und zu schmusen – und zwar mit Artgenossen (Kleopatra, Mischa, Jack2 sind im selben Zwinger) und mit Menschen. Dass die junge und außergewöhnlich schöne Hündin so munter und fidel durchs Leben wedelt, ist nicht selbstverständlich, denn Layla wurde zusammen mit 32 anderen Hunden in einer Rettungsaktion aus der städtischen Tötung in Barlad gerettet, einem düsteren Ort, nachdem die örtlichen, kommunalen Verantwortungsträger die Tötung von ca. 200 Hunden im März 2025 anordneten. Bereits beim Besuch der Tierschützerinnen im Tötungsshelter hat die aufgeschlossene Fellnase sich erfolgreich ins Rampenlicht gerückt und wurde direkt mitgenommen. Layla hält nicht viel von damenhafter Zurückhaltung, sie ist ein echter Wildfang. Ihr hübsches Schnäuzchen zwängt sie durch alle Gitterstäbe und versucht die Streicheleinheiten der wartenden Tierpfleger-Hände zu ergattern, der Zwinger ist leider auch viel zu beengend für die hier lebenden Hunde, ihnen fehlen insbesondere Auslastung und Zuwendung! Sobald ein Artgenosse (Kleopatra; Mischa) in Laylas Zwinger auf das Dach der Hütte für Fotoaufnahmen oder zum Streicheln gesetzt wird, möchte Layla mit dazu hinaufspringen, sie bearbeitet dann ihre Tierpflegerin ungeduldig mit ihren Pfötchen, stupst sie deutlich an und kämpft sich vor – denn warum sollte Layla sich in der zweiten Reihe zufriedengeben? ‚Layla first‘ ist schließlich ihr Motto und das bislang erfolgreich. Layla gehört, zusammen mit Nuri und Ginger, die ebenfalls gerettet wurden, zu den Alpha-Weibchen unter den 32 Rettungshunden, die sich sehr präsent zeigen und dringend gesehen werden möchten. Mit Layla als verspielte Frohnatur zieht die pure Lebenslust im neuen Zuhause ein. Die mittelgroße, natürliche Schönheit freut sich über geeignete, fürsorgliche Bewerber, damit sie endlich ein neues, unbeschwertes Lebenskapitel aufschlagen und der Enge des Zwingers entfliehen kann. Update13.03.2026 neue Bilder. Eine Vereins-Kollegin war vor Ort und berichtet folgendes: Layla ist offen und aktiv, dabei aber gleichzeitig auch sanftmütig. Sie begegnete mir freundlich und interessiert und suchte den Kontakt. Eine wunderbare Mischung aus Energie und liebevollem Wesen. 30.12.2025 neue Bilder u.

About Layla

What life with Layla looks like

Layla is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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.
