Natalia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Natalia - A Mixed-Breed Female Puppy - Looking for Her Safe Haven Natalia is new to the shelter and, just like her two siblings, is still very anxious and reserved. She will need time, patience, and understanding people to settle in and gain trust. Unfortunately, we do not know why Natalia ended up in the shelter or what her life was like before. Perhaps she has had little experience with human interaction - perhaps many things that are part of our dogs' daily lives are still completely foreign to her. Maybe she has not had good experiences with humans before. Like many rescue dogs, Natalia brings her own invisible backpack. Therefore, her new family should not expect her to "function" from day one. Housebreaking, leash training, staying alone or the little dog ABC she will certainly need to learn. She needs people who show her with time, patience, calmness and loving structure how beautiful and safe life can be by her side. Since Natalia is currently very uncertain, a confident first-time dog could be a wonderful support for her. A four-legged companion by her side can give her orientation and security and show her that the world does not have to be so scary. If you would like to take Natalia by the paw, please contact her responsible mediator. A foster home would also be a valuable stepping stone to a new life for Natalia. Here is Natalia's video

Mischlingshündin Natalia – Auf der Suche nach ihrem sicheren Hafen Natalia ist neu im Tierheim und zeigt sich dort, genau wie ihre beiden Geschwister, noch sehr ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Sie wird Zeit, Geduld und verständnisvolle Menschen brauchen, um in Ruhe anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Warum Natalia im Tierheim gelandet ist und wie ihr bisheriges Leben ausgesehen hat, wissen wir leider nicht. Vielleicht durfte sie bisher nur wenig vom Zusammenleben mit Menschen kennenlernen – vielleicht ist ihr vieles, was für unsere Hunde zum normalen Alltag gehört, noch völlig fremd. Möglicherweise hat sie mit dem Mensch auch keine guten Erfahrungen bisher machen dürfen. Wie so viele Tierschutzhunde bringt auch Natalia ihren ganz eigenen, unsichtbaren Rucksack mit. Deshalb sollte ihre neue Familie nicht erwarten, dass sie vom ersten Tag an „funktioniert“. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, Alleinbleiben oder das kleine Hunde-ABC muss sie sicherlich erst kennenlernen. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr mit Zeit, Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Struktur zeigen, wie schön und sicher ein Leben an ihrer Seite sein kann. Da Natalia sich momentan noch sehr unsicher zeigt, könnte ein souveräner Ersthund eine wunderbare Unterstützung für sie sein. Ein Vierbeiner an ihrer Seite kann ihr Orientierung und Sicherheit geben und ihr zeigen, dass die Welt gar nicht so gruselig sein muss. Wenn Sie die sensible Natalia ans Pfötchen nehmen möchten, melden Sie sich gerne bei ihrer zuständigen Vermittlerin. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre für Natalia ein wertvolles Sprungbrett in ein neues Leben. Hier geht’s zu Natalias Video

About Natalia

What life with Natalia looks like

Natalia is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Natalia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Natalia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Natalia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Natalia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SALVA Hundehilfe 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Natalia 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 Natalia 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Natalia 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.
