How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzengel Nordhorn 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 — Tierschutzengel Nordhorn 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 Tierschutzengel Nordhorn 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.

Nala

Maltese · Female · Puppy

Nala Name: Nala Born: 2022 Sex: Female Breed: Maltese Size/Weight: 26 cm Location: Castellbisbal Animal Shelter June 2026 - A friend rescued Nala from a puppy mill. So she ended up in our shelter, where she learns what life is like outside the factory where she had to live before. It's clear that she never experienced love before. Now she learns how nice it is to be important, to be lovingly taken into her arms and to experience security. She discovers many new things every day - and she does it all very well, step by step. Nala has already been spayed and had dental work done. At the same time, a small benign mammary tumor was completely removed. In addition, Nala has patellar luxation in one knee, although she currently moves normally on all four paws. Currently, she should still lose some weight and continue to learn how to walk on a leash. Then it will be decided whether an operation on the knee is sensible or not. We are very happy to help this little sweet Maltese and we will be thrilled when she finds her forever people!

Nala Name: Nala Geboren: 2022 Geschlecht: Hündin Rasse: Malteser Größe/Gewicht: 26 cm Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Castellbisbal Juni 2026 – Eine Bekannte hat Nala aus einer Vermehrerhaltung gerettet. So ist sie nun bei uns im Tierheim gelandet, wo sie lernt, wie das Leben außerhalb der Welpenfabrik aussieht, in der sie bisher leben musste. Man merkt ihr an, dass sie früher nie Liebe erfahren durfte. Nun lernt sie, wie schön es ist, wichtig zu sein, liebevoll in den Arm genommen zu werden und Geborgenheit zu erfahren. Sie entdeckt jeden Tag viele neue Dinge – und sie macht das ganz prima, Schritt für Schritt. Nala wurde bereits kastriert und zahnsaniert. Gleichzeitig konnte ein kleiner gutartiger Mammatumor vollständig entfernt werden. Außerdem hat Nala eine Kniescheibenluxation an einem Knie, auch wenn sie sich derzeit ganz normal auf allen vier Pfoten fortbewegt. Momentan sollte sie noch etwas Gewicht verlieren und weiter lernen, an der Leine zu laufen. Anschließend wird entschieden, ob eine Operation am Knie sinnvoll ist oder nicht. Wir sind sehr glücklich, dieser kleinen süßen Malteserin helfen zu dürfen, und werden uns riesig für sie freuen, wenn sie ihre Für-immer-Menschen findet!

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a extra-large puppy/kitten maltese dog waiting at Tierschutzengel Nordhorn in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
