Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Nala is looking for a calm home where she can settle in and feel at ease. We are sorry to say that we are looking for a new, loving home for our Nala with a heavy heart. Due to a changed family situation with small children, the environment has unfortunately become too loud, anxious, and stressful for her. This decision was not easy for us, and it is made solely with her well-being in mind. After all the years we spent together, Nala has now actually been given up. For her, a familiar world is falling away, which makes it all the more important that she now finds people who can offer her safety and stability. Nala is a 10-year-old mixed-breed female dog, standing 62 cm at the shoulder and weighing approximately 23 kg. She currently lives in Winsen (Luhe). She is a calm, sensitive, and incredibly cuddly soul who greatly enjoys being close to her people. Her favorite pastimes are relaxing in the garden, lying in the sun, digging, or snuggling up comfortably with her favorite people. Nala is very sociable with other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them. Cats, on the other hand, are not among her favorite housemates. Older, calm children pose no problem for her, but toddlers cause her fear and stress through their loudness and often unpredictable energy. That is why we wish for her to live in a home without small children. Nala can be left alone without any problems and, due to her age, is pleasantly relaxed in everyday life. She walks well on a leash, knows the basic commands, and when it comes to recall, her mood sometimes gets a say too – simply with her own special charm. She is neutered and vaccinated. Six years ago, a heartworm treatment was successfully completed. Additionally, due to a past injury, her right hind knee is stiff, but this does not prevent her from enjoying life at her own pace. She no longer climbs many stairs. For Nala, we wish for a loving, rather quiet home – preferably with a garden – with people who understand her sensitive nature and give her the security she deserves. Nala will be placed after a positive preliminary check, vaccinated and microchipped, through the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e.V.

Nala sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause zum Ankommen und Wohlfühlen - denn schweren Herzens suchen wir für unsere Nala ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause. Aufgrund einer veränderten familiären Situation mit kleinen Kindern ist das Umfeld für sie leider zu laut, ängstlich und stressig geworden. Diese Entscheidung fällt uns nicht leicht und geschieht ausschließlich in ihrem Sinne.Nach all den gemeinsamen Jahren wurde Nala nun tatsächlich abgegeben. Für sie bricht damit eine vertraute Welt weg, und umso wichtiger ist es, dass sie jetzt Menschen findet, die ihr Sicherheit und Stabilität schenken.Nala ist eine 10‑jährige Mischlingshündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von 62 cm und einem Gewicht von ca. 23 kg. Aktuell lebt sie in Winsen (Luhe). Sie ist eine ruhige, sensible und unglaublich kuschelige Seele, die die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr genießt. Am liebsten verbringt sie ihre Zeit entspannt im Garten, liegt in der Sonne, buddelt oder kuschelt sich gemütlich an ihre Bezugspersonen.Mit anderen Hunden ist Nala sehr sozial und kommt wunderbar zurecht. Katzen gehören dagegen eher nicht zu ihren Lieblingsmitbewohnern. Ältere, ruhige Kinder sind für sie kein Problem, allerdings machen ihr Kleinkinder durch Lautstärke und die oft unvorhersehbare Dynamik Angst und Stress. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder.Nala kann problemlos alleine bleiben und ist altersbedingt angenehm entspannt im Alltag. Sie läuft gut an der Leine, kennt die Grundkommandos und beim Rückruf entscheidet manchmal auch ihre Stimmung mit – eben mit ihrem ganz eigenen Charme.Sie ist kastriert und geimpft. Vor sechs Jahren wurde eine Herzwurmbehandlung erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Außerdem hat sie aufgrund einer früheren Verletzung ein versteiftes rechtes Hinterknie, was sie im Alltag aber nicht daran hindert, ihr Leben in Ruhe zu genießen. Nur viele Treppen steigt sie nicht mehr.Für Nala wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles, eher ruhiges Zuhause – gerne mit Garten – bei Menschen, die ihre sensible Art verstehen und ihr die Geborgenheit schenken, die sie verdient.Nala wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft und gechippt über den Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e.V. vermittelt.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 — Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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.
