Leila

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

♀, born approx. 9/2018—loving, social, shy—in 12619 Berlin-Kaulsdorf. Leila is a female Podenco Andaluz mix dog, born around September 2018, with a shoulder height of approximately 40 cm. In November 2018, Leila was found wandering alone in the area of Punta Candor, together with another puppy, and taken to the animal shelter in Rota, Spain. She soon found a home in Germany, but now, after more than seven years, she is being given up again due to private circumstances of her owners. Leila is a cheerful dog who loves training, learning new tricks, and staying busy. She is also very well-groomed, cuddly, and social. She is highly sensitive and affectionate, adores children, loves playing immensely, and behaves friendly and calmly outdoors. She doesn't bark at other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them. She especially enjoys playing with her peers and thoroughly enjoys their company. Towards strangers, she is initially shy and prefers not to be pressured by them. She’s a dog who needs time to get to know new people, as she’s understandably somewhat distrustful due to her past experiences. Therefore, we’d like Leila to go to people who are willing to visit her frequently in order to slowly earn her trust. Once Leila has opened her heart to someone, she becomes an incredibly loving dog. As soon as she realizes there’s no danger, she reveals her gentle side. Leila loves lying in the sun in the garden, so we’d like her to find people who can provide her with just that. Leila is currently located in 12619 Berlin-Kaulsdorf. The adoption fee for Leila is 580 euros. Would you like to give Leila a forever home?

♀, geb. ca. 9/2018gut erzogen, für erfahrene Menschenin 12619 Berlin-Kaulsdorf Leila ist eine ca. 9/2018 geborene Podenco Andaluz-Mix-Hündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 40 cm. Im November '18 wurde Leila zusammen mit einem weiteren Welpen in der Gegend von Punta Candor verlassen umherirrend gefunden und ins Tierheim von Rota/Spanien gebracht. Sie fand bald ein Zuhause in Deutschland, das sie nun nach über sieben Jahren aufgrund privater Umstände der Halter wieder verliert. Wir haben erst kürzlich erfahren, dass Leila derzeit absolut nicht mehr ausgelastet ist und viele Stunden täglich alleine bleiben muss, was leider dazu beigetragen hat, dass sie ihr zuvor ausgeglichenes Wesen eingebüßt hat. Sie ist zwar sehr gut erzogen und gehorsam, aber dennoch wurden ihr binnen der letzten 2 Jahre kaum mehr Grenzen gesetzt sodass sie begonnen hat, Dinge selbst zu entscheiden. Sie fühlt sich in dem extrem turbulenten Umfeld mit zwei lebhaften Kleinkindern, in dem sie derzeit noch lebt, völlig gestresst und überfordert. So hat sie nach und nach begonnen, immer mehr die Führung zu übernehmen und jegliche vermeintliche Bedrohung von ihrer Familie fernzuhalten. Im Klartext heißt das, dass sie ihre Menschen und ihr Zuhause verteidigt. Wir werden Leila baldmöglichst aus der Familie herausnehmen und sie anderweitig unterbringen sodasss wir hoffen, ihr Verhalten dadurch wieder umzukehren und sie wieder zu der ursprünglich lebensfrohen, freundlichen und sozialen Hündin machen zu können, die gerne trainiert, neue Kunststücke lernt und beschäftigt wird. Für Leila suchen wir erfahrene Menschen, die in der Lage sind, ihr klare Grenzen und Strukturen vorzugeben, damit sie versteht, dass sie sich auf ihre Menschen verlassen kann und sich nicht um den Schutz ihrer Familie kümmern muss. Leila befindet sich derzeit noch in 12619 Berlin-Kaulsdorf. Die Schutzgebühr für Leila beträgt 380 Euro. Sie möchten Leila ein Zuhause geben?

About Leila

What life with Leila looks like

Leila is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An 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 Leila, answered.

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