How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Freiburg 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 — Tierschutzverein Freiburg 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 Tierschutzverein Freiburg 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

American Staffordshire Terrier · Unknown

Our sweet Nala is a sensitive female dog who is very attached to her trusted people and initially keeps strangers at arm's length. She is characterized by a playful and creative nature that constantly brings her new people laughter. Nala does not particularly like other dogs – she prefers to have her family all to herself. Due to her heart condition DCM, she is less active on hot or particularly cold days. Her new people should familiarize themselves with this heart condition and, of course, receive tips from the animal shelter on how to handle it in everyday life. Nala takes her medication very well and without any problems. Regularly, currently annually, Nala needs to undergo an echocardiogram to check her organ function. Her new people should be very strong because Nala is a small tractor among the dogs – and if she has a goal in mind, it takes a corresponding counterweight to hold her back. Her behavioral assessment, which the crazy noodle had to undergo due to her breed, she passed with flying colors and charmed the assessors with her individual charm. She now longs for a quiet home where she can finally arrive and hang her soul. She will never lose the mischief in her back and so her new people can look forward to a varied and colorful everyday life with this inventive power dog.

Unsere süße Nala ist eine sensible Hündin, die sehr auf ihre Bezugspersonen fixiert ist und fremde Menschen erst mal links liegen lässt. Sie zeichnet sich durch ein lustiges und kreatives Wesen aus, das ihre neuen Menschen immer wieder zum Lachen bringen wird. Andere Hunde mag Nala nicht allzu sehr – am liebsten hat sie ihre Familie ganz für sich allein. Aufgrund ihrer Herzerkrankung DCM ist sie an heißen oder besonders kalten Tagen weniger leistungsfähig. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten sich mit dieser Herzerkrankung auseinandersetzen und bekommen natürlich zudem vom Tierheim Tipps über den Umgang damit im Alltag. Durch die Medikation geht es Nala sehr gut und sie nimmt die Tabletten ohne Probleme. Regelmäßig, aktuell einmal jährlich, muss Nala zum Herzultraschall, um die Organfunktion zu überprüfen.Ihre neuen Menschen sollten sehr kräftig sein, denn Nala ist ein kleiner Traktor unter den Hunden – und wenn sie ein Ziel vor Augen hat, braucht es ein entsprechendes Gegengewicht, um sie zurückzuhalten. Ihren Wesenstest, den die verrückte Nudel aufgrund ihrer Rasse ablegen musste, hat sie mit Bravour bestanden und die Prüfer mit ihrem individuellen Charme um den Finger gewickelt. Sie sehnt sich nun nach einem ruhigen Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen und ihre Seele baumeln lassen kann. Den Schalk im Nacken wird sie garantiert nie verlieren und so können sich ihre neuen Menschen auf einen abwechslungsreichen und bunten Alltag mit dieser einfallsreichen Powerhündin freuen. Liebe Interessenten, schön, dass Sie sich für einen unserer Hunde interessieren! Bitte beantworten Sie alle Fragen vollständig und gewissenhaft, damit wir Ihre Anfrage direkt bearbeiten können.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a small adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Freiburg in Freiburg.

An 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.
