Lea

Labrador Retriever · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Lea and her sister Liz were found in the middle of nowhere by local residents. It is almost always the same story: unwanted litters are abandoned in the countryside. If you're lucky, the puppies are found and taken to the animal shelter. Unfortunately, the topic of neutering is still very frowned upon. But Lea was lucky, and she now lives with her sister in quarantine. Shortly, they will be moved to the puppy enclosure. The two of them are simply sweethearts: lively, friendly, and up for any fun. Liz is the calmer of the two and needs a little time to come out of her shell. Sister Lea is carefree, curious, and fearless. She is also considerably larger than Liz. For the sisters, we are looking for a home each with a family that has dog experience and a garden, as they may have livestock guardian dog genes in them. A first-time dog may live in the home. Children should be 12 years or older. Liz and Lea know nothing and must be introduced to everything slowly. Please keep in mind that raising puppies/young dogs takes time and patience so that they become great family dogs and loyal companions. Do you have questions about Lea? Then feel free to get in touch. All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated upon export, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German Veterinary Office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Lea und ihre Schwester Liz wurden von Einheimischen im Nirgendwo gefunden. Eigentlich ist es immer dieselbe Geschichte: Ungewollter Nachwuchs wird ausgesetzt auf dem Lande. Wenn man Glück hat, werden die Welpen gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht. Leider ist das Thema Kastration noch immer sehr verpönt. Aber Lea hatte Glück und lebt jetzt mit ihrer Schwester in der Quarantäne. In Kürze werden sie umgesetzt ins Welpengehege. Die Beiden sind einfach nur Zucker – aufgeweckt, freundlich und für jeden Spaß zu haben. Liz ist die ruhigere von beiden und braucht ein wenig Zeit, um sich zu öffnen. Schwester Lea ist unbekümmert, neugierig und ohne Ängste. Sie ist auch deutlich größer als Liz. Wir suchen für die Schwestern je ein Zuhause in einer Familie mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten, da eventuell Herdenschutzhundgene in ihnen stecken könnten. Gerne kann ein Ersthund im Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten 12 Jahre oder älter sein. Liz und Lea kennen nichts und müssen an alles langsam herangeführt werden. Bitte bedenken Sie, dass die Erziehung von Welpen/Junghunden Zeit und Geduld benötigt, damit aus ihnen tolle Familienhunde und treue Begleiter werden. Haben Sie Fragen zu Lea? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Lea

What life with Lea looks like

Lea is a medium-sized puppy labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Lea, answered.

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