Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Female dog, approx. 5 months old (as of October 2026), approx. 35 cm, still growing, origin Bulgaria Nala was found on the street together with her sister Lilli. But Nala had particularly bad luck: she was hit by a car, breaking her right thigh bone, and the head of her left femur also popped out of the hip socket. Nala has since undergone surgery and has recovered well from the procedure. Personality: Nala is initially a bit shy and reserved around unfamiliar people. She needs a moment to build trust, but she lets herself be touched and, after a short while, really starts to enjoy being petted. Nala already knows how to walk on a leash and wear a harness. What's especially lovely is that she gets along with cats and even enjoys cuddling with them. For Nala, we wish for a loving home with people who understand her story and will accompany her on her continued journey. Who will give Nala a home or a foster placement? *We expressly point out that behaviors in a new environment can change after some time. This should be taken into account with every adoption!

Hündin – ca. 5 Monate alt (Stand: Oktober 2026) – ca. 35 cm, im Wachstums – in Bulgarien Herkunft Nala wurde gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Lilli auf der Straße gefunden. Doch Nala hatte besonders großes Pech: Sie wurde von einem Auto angefahren und brach sich dabei den rechten Oberschenkelknochen auch der linke Femurkopf sprang aus der Gelenkpfanne. Mittlerweile wurde Nala operiert und hat sich gut von ihrem Eingriff erholt. Wesen Nala ist bei fremden Menschen zunächst etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Sie braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen, lässt sich aber anfassen und fängt kurze Zeit später an Streicheleinheiten richtig zu genießen. Das Laufen an der Leine und das Tragen eines Geschirrs kennt Nala bereits. Besonders schön ist, dass sie sich mit Katzen versteht und sogar gerne mit ihnen kuschelt. Für Nala wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Verständnis für ihre Geschichte haben und sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg begleiten.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. in Germany (national, Bulgaria rescue focus).

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. 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. Kleine & große Pfoten 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 — Kleine & große Pfoten 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 Kleine & große Pfoten 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.
