Nala

Female · Adult · 4 years

Nala came to us in April because her owner was overwhelmed – something that Nala, the female dog, had absolutely nothing to do with. The lovely Nala is very sweet, but seems to have not seen much of the world yet. She is a bit stormy, which is also due to the fact that she hasn’t been well-exercised recently. We are looking for nice people who are familiar with the nature and care of Huskies, have plenty of time, and enjoy being outdoors. And not just to take a quick walk around the block. Nala needs a lot of movement and exercise to be a happy dog. If you are interested in adopting Nala, please write us a detailed email.

Nala kam im April zu uns, weil ihre Besitzerin überfordert war – wofür die Hündin aber absolut nichts konnte. Die hübsche Nala ist sehr lieb, scheint aber noch nicht allzu viel von der Welt gesehen zu haben. Sie ist etwas stürmisch, was aber auch daran liegt, dass sie in letzter Zeit nicht gut ausgelastet war. Wir suchen für die zauberhafte Hündin nette Menschen, die sich mit dem Wesen und der Haltung von Huskys auskennen, viel Zeit haben und gerne an der frischen Luft sind. Und das nicht nur, um mal eben um den Block zu gehen. Nala braucht viel Bewegung und Auslastung, um ein glücklicher Hund zu sein. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Nala interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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 Nala, answered.

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