Nala

Kangal · Female · Young · 3 years

Nala is a friendly giant. She enjoys people and walking is her highlight. At the same time, she also enjoys cozy hours cuddling with her favorite people. She is used to being outside and living according to her nature, so she would need a large garden or yard. A flat without a garden would not suit her. Since Nala is still in a governmental process, she will be available for foster care only. Once the approval is given, her foster family can then adopt her permanently.

DE·Show original

Nala ist eine freundliche Riesin. Sie mag Menschen gerne und spazieren gehen ist ihr Highlight. Gleichzeitig genießt sie auch gemütliche Stunden kuschelnd mit ihren Lieblingsmenschen. Sie ist es gewohnt draußen zu sein und ganz ihrer Natur, sollte sie einen großen Garten oder Hof ihr eigen nennen dürfen. Eine Wohnung ohne Garten würde ihr nicht gefallen. Da sich Nala noch in einem behördlichen Verfahren befindet, wird sie vorerst ausschließlich auf Pflegevergeben. Sobald die Freigabe erfolgt, darf ihre Pflegefamilie sie dann fix adoptieren.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a large young adult kangal dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

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 Arche Noah 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 Arche Noah 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Arche Noah 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.
