How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Schkortitz 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 Schkortitz 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.

Adopt Nala

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Terriermix Nala (2010) now finally has the Tasso registration and is considered rehomed as of April 2015, almost at the same time as Chandro, the mouse was able to move out. She is the heir of our former Minibernersennenmix Schnappi, lives in a rural area with a retired couple who are available for Nala around the clock. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… I am female, spayed, microchipped and born around 2010. I have been waiting for a new home since December 2014. I am about 30cm tall. This is what my caretakers say about me: Nala came to us together with Chandro. Both came from another club, lived together so far and prefer a new home together. They are very attached to each other, Nala is Chandro's shadow. We have set a deadline, only after that will both be rehomed separately. Nala is the more sensitive of the two. Initially shy, but she quickly gains trust. She is gentle in handling and in temperament, the terrier is still evident. She is watchful and barks frequently in the yard, otherwise pleasant and calm. She walks well and very gladly and is pleasant and quiet indoors. Also car rides are no problem, being alone is nothing she can't already do, especially together with Chandro. We think that after an appropriate acclimation phase, it will also work as a single dog. At our place she runs well on a leash, and also works well with children. Despite initial shyness, Nala loves people, the size doesn't matter. She gets along with male dogs, with female dogs it would have to be tried out. According to the previous owner, Nala is often a bit snappy with other dogs, as she gets overwhelmed quickly, we assume. To be safe, they will show their teeth first. Also other unknown situations stress her at first. After building up trust, you can work on that, Nala can still take a good portion of self-confidence. Anyone interested in both, we would be happy to place Chandro and Nala together. But also interested parties for Nala as a single dog can contact us, the shelter life is not the ideal place for the sensitive mouse, maximum to find the right one with our help…. ftp:

Terriermix Nala (2010) hat nun auch endlich die Tassoanmeldung und gilt ab April 2015 als vermittelt, fast zeitgleich zu Chandro hat die Maus ausziehen können. Sie ist Erbe unseres ehemaligen Minibernersennenmixes Schnappi, lebt in ländlicher Umgebung bei einem Rentnerehepaar, welches rund um die Uhr für Nala da ist. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Ich bin weiblich, kastriert, gechipt und circa 2010 geboren. Ich warte seit dem Dezember 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 30cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Nala kam gemeinsam mit Chandro zu uns. Beide stammen von einem anderen Verein, lebten bislang zusammen und suchen vorzugsweise ein gemeinsames, neues Zuhause. Sie hängen sehr aneinander, Nala ist Chandros Schatten.Wir haben uns eine Frist gesetzt, erst danach werden beide getrennt vermittelt. Nala ist die sensiblere von Beiden.Anfänglich schüchtern, fasst sie aber schnell Vertrauen.Sie ist zart im Umgang und auch im Wesen, der Terrier ist trotzdem nicht zu verleugnen. Sie ist wachsam und bellfreudig im Auslauf, ansonsten angenehm und ruhig.Sie läuft gut und sehr gerne und ist im Haus angenehm ruhig.Auch Autofahrten sind kein Problem, gemeinsam mit Chandro ist auch das Alleinbleiben nichts, was sie nicht schon kann.Wir denken, nach entsprechender Eingewöhnungsphase klappt das auch als Einzelhund. Bei uns läuft sie super an der Leine, auch bei Kindern funktioniert das prima.trotz anfänglicher Schüchternheit liebt nala Menschen, die Größe spielt dabei keine Rolle. Mit Rüden ist sie verträglich, bei Hündinnen müßte man das ausprobieren.Laut Aussage der Vorbesitzerin ist nala gern zickig mit anderen Hunden, da sie schnell überfordert ist, vermuten wir.Sicher ist sicher, da werden eben versuchsweise erst mal die Zähne gezeigt.Auch andere unbekannte Situationen stressen sie im ersten Moment.nach dem nötigen Vertrauensaufbau kann man daran ruhig noch arbeiten, Nala kann noch eine gute Portion Selbstbewusstsein vertragen. Wer Interesse für Beide hat, wir würden uns freuen, Chandro und Nala zusammen vermitteln zu können.Aber auch Interessenten für Nala als Einzelhund können gern Kontakt mit uns aufnehmen, der Tierheimalltag ist für die sensible Maus nicht der ideale Platz, maximal, um den passenden zu finden mit unserer Hilfe…. ftp:///stories/vermittlung_2015/nala

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
