How do I contact the shelter about Nela?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nela if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Nela 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 Nela 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nela and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Nela

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

♀, born ca. 7/2020 friendly - cuddly - gentle Nela is a ca. 7/2020 born Podenco Andaluz female dog with a shoulder height of ca. 42 cm. She weighs about 9 kg. Nela was taken in by animal welfare officers from a killing station in Linares/Spain and temporarily housed in their small shelter near our area. In early May '26, the region was hit by severe floods with extreme rainfall. The animal shelter was completely flooded and destroyed. Fortunately, they managed to get the dogs into their huts, and since the disaster happened during the day, helpers were on hand to rescue and distribute them to foster homes. Nela now lives with a foster family and, after a short period of reticence, shows friendliness to all people and dogs of both sexes. She likes to be in the garden, is house-trained, and enjoys being stroked. She does not like cats. With a look from her beautiful green eyes, Nela can wrap anyone around her paw. Due to her age, she is no longer playful, but she still enjoys nice walks. We are looking for a home with people who like to do something with their dog and enjoy cuddling with him. Nela is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for Mediterranean diseases. She is in a foster home in 31832 Springe. The adoption fee for Nela is 460 Euro. Would you like to give Nela a home? Then please contact us via our following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♀, geb. ca. 7/2020freundlich - verschmust - ruhigin 31832 Springe Nela ist eine ca. 7/2020 geborene Podenco Andaluz-Hündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 42 cm. Sie wiegt etwa 9 kg. Nela wurde von Tierschützern aus einer Tötungsstation in Linares/Spanien übernommen und vorübergehend in ihrer kleinen Auffangstation in der Nähe untergebracht. Anfang Mai '26 wurde die Region von schweren Unwettern mit extremen Regenfällen betroffen. Das Tierheim wurde komplett überflutet und zerstört. Zum Glück konnten sie Hunde sich vorerst auf ihre Hütten retten, und da die Katastrophe am Tage geschah, waren schnell Helfer vor Ort, die sie retten und auf Pflegestellen verteilen konnten. Nela lebt inzwischen bei einer Pflegefamilie und zeigt sich dort nach kurzer Zurückhaltung freundlich zu allen Menschen und Hunden beiderlei Geschlechts. Sie hält sich gerne im Garten auf, ist stubenrein und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Katzen mag sie nicht. Mit einem Blick aus ihren wunderschönen grünen Augen wickelt Nela jeden um die Pfote. Aufgrund ihres Alters ist sie nicht mehr verspielt, freut sich aber über schöne Spaziergänge. Wir wünschen uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die gerne etwas mit ihrem Hund unternehmen und gerne mit ihm kuscheln. Nela ist bereits kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, und negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet worden. Sie befindet sich in einer Pflegestelle in 31832 Springe. Die Schutzgebühr für Nela beträgt 460 Euro. Sie möchten Nela ein Zuhause geben? Dann melden Sie sich bitte über unser nachfolgendes Kontaktformular. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V..

About Nela

What life with Nela looks like

Nela is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
