Leila

Pit Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Unsere fröhliche Leila lebte von Geburt an auf der Straße und schlug sich durchs Leben. Irgendwann beschwerten sich jedoch die Anwohner und so kam es, dass Leila ins städtische Tierheim überstellt wurde. Nachdem dieses jedoch komplett überfüllt ist, wie so ziemlich jedes Tierheim in Italien, beschloss man die Hündin nach der Kastration wieder auf die Straße zu setzen, schließlich hatte sie dort ja all die Jahre überlebt. Allerdings störten sich die Bewohner der umliegenden Häuser an der Hündin. Eine Mitarbeiterin des städtischen Tierheims holte sie aus der Gefahrenzone und brachte sie zu unserer Tierschützerin Cornelia. Diese zögerte keine Minute, die Hündin in ihrem privaten Tierheim aufzunehmen. Dort ist sie erst einmal in Sicherheit, jedoch sollte dieser Ort nur eine Übergangslösung sein. Leila ist eine sehr fröhliche und menschenbezogene Hündin, die sich bestens mit allen anderen Hunden versteht. Sie geht sehr gut an der Leine, liebt Spaziergänge und hat extreme Freude am Spielen. Nichts an ihr deutet auf eine eher triste Vergangenheit hin, Leila ist ein völlig problemloser Hund. Aufgrund ihres Aussehens, gehen wir davon aus, dass in ihren Genen einer Rasse steckt, die die Einreise nach Deutschland nicht erlauben. Wir drücken der Hündin deshalb die Daumen, dass sie ein Zuhause in der Schweiz findet und schon bald dem Tierheim den Rücken kehren kann. Falls Sie Interesse an Leila haben sollten, dann melden Sie sich doch bitte bei uns. Ansprechpartner: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein.

About Leila

What life with Leila looks like

Leila is a medium-sized young adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at Rifugio Canalba 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.

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. Rifugio Canalba 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 — Rifugio Canalba 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 Rifugio Canalba 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.
