Nala

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 3 years

Nala is a friendly, open-minded, and agile female dog. She came to the animal shelter because her owners separated and neither could take her. She is generally good with male dogs but usually doesn't like female dogs. Although she is quite the foodie and very playful, this makes her easy to motivate for joint activities. Nala could be rehomed with a family with children. She is no couch potato; she wants to be challenged by her people. We are happy that you are interested in Nala. Please send us a direct application to become her guardian. Of course, Nala also appreciates individual monetary and goods donations.

DE·Show original

Nala ist eine freundliche, aufgeschlossene und agile Hündin. Sie kam ins Tierheim, weil ihre Besitzer sich getrennt haben und beide den Hund nicht mitnehmen konnten. Mit Rüden ist Nala in der Regel gut verträglich. Hündinnen mag sie meistens nicht. Typisch Labrador ist sie sehr verfressen, aber auch verspielt. Aufgrund dessen kann man sie gut für gemeinsame Aktivitäten motivieren. Nala könnte in eine Familie mit Kindern vermittelt werden. Sie ist kein Couch-Potatoe. Sie möchte von ihren Menschen gefordert werden. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Nala interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Nala. Natürlich freut sich Nala auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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 Nala, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nala?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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.
