Adopt Nala - ältere Lady aus unserem

Female · Senior · 9 years

Our Nala (born 01.05.2014) has been at the animal shelter for far too long. Now she has also lost her best friend Yaman, with whom she shared the enclosure for the past years. Nala is initially a bit skeptical towards strangers, but once she has built trust, she is cuddly and (as can be seen in the photos) still quite silly. Nala walks well on a leash and enjoys shorter walks or activities on the dog field with her primary caregiver. Due to her age and to increase her chances of being adopted, we have taken Nala into our Nori project and hope very much that she will find a new home on this path. It should be a child-free home, without other dogs or small animals, and ideally with a garden. This wonderful female dog has so much deserved to leave the animal shelter.

Unsere Nala (geboren 01.05.2014) ist schon viel zu lange im Tierheim. Nun hat sie auch noch ihren besten Freund Yaman verloren, mit dem sie die letzten Jahre den Zwinger teilte. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist Nala erst einmal etwas skeptisch, wenn sie dann aber Vertrauen gefasst hat ist sie verschmust und (wie man auf den Fotos sehen kann) durchaus auch noch albern. Nala geht ordentlich an der Leine und macht mit ihrer Bezugsperson auch gerne kleinere Spaziergänge oder Beschäftigungen auf der Hundewiese. Aufgrund ihres Alters und um die Vermittlungschancen zu erhöhen, haben wir Nala in unser Nori-Projekt aufgenommen und wünschen uns sehr, dass sie auf diesem Weg noch einmal ein Zuhause finden. Das sollte ebenerdig sein, ohne Kinder, andere Hunde oder Kleintiere, und im Idealfall mit einem Garten. Diese tolle Hündin hätte es so sehr verdient, das Tierheim endlich verlassen zu dürfen.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nala - ältere Lady aus unserem, answered.

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

Is Nala - ältere Lady aus unserem 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 Nala - ältere Lady aus unserem 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 Düsseldorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala - ältere Lady aus unserem 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.
