Nela

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Female, spayed, born approximately December 2025, Podenco mix, height approximately 51 cm / weight approximately 14 kg. Foster home Spain: Refugio Amposta. On August 18, 2026, the two Podenco sisters Nela and Dotty arrived from the Perrera in Vinaros to Monika in her shelter. Nela immediately showed herself to be very open, people-oriented, friendly, and even a bit pushy towards humans. She is a fun, playful young lady, who likes to move and is curious about new things. She approaches other dogs with confidence, rather than being aloof, and can sometimes defend her resources a bit. However, this all happens within the normal framework of communication among themselves. Anais was able to meet the lively Nela during her visit to the shelter and really likes the beautiful female dog. We are looking for people who enjoy being outdoors, taking long walks, and experiencing new adventures together for Nela. The young female should also be able to set clear boundaries. Nela still needs to learn the whole 1x1 of good behavior and also wants to be mentally challenged. If you would like to give the cheeky Nela a forever home, please contact us by email.

Weiblich, reist kastriert Geboren ca. Dezember 2025 Podenco Mischling Höhe ca. 51 cm / Gewicht ca. 14 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaAm 18. August 2026 kamen aus der Perrera in Vinaros die beiden Podenco Schwestern Nela und Dotty zu Monika in ihr Refugio. Sehr offen, menschenbezogen, freundlich, ja schon etwas aufdringlich zeigte sich Nela da gleich von Anfang an den Menschen ge- genüber. Sie ist eine lustige, dem Alter entsprechend verspielte junge Dame, die sich gerne bewegt und neugierig auf Neues zugeht. Den anderen Hunden gegenüber tritt sie selbstsicher, eher distanzlos auf und kann schon mal ihre Ressourcen etwas verteidigen. Dies geschieht jedoch alles im normalen Rahmen der Kommunikation untereinander. Anais durfte die aufgeweckte Nela im Rahmen ihres Besuches im Refugio kennenlernen und mag die schöne Hündin sehr. Für Nela wünschen wir uns Menschen, die gerne draussen sind, lange Spaziergänge unternehmen und gemeinsam neue Abenteuer erleben wollen. Der Junghündin sollten auch klare Grenzen gesetzt werden können. Nela muss noch das ganze 1x1 des guten Benehmens lernen und möchte auch geistig gefordert werden. Möchtest du der fre- chen Nela ein für immer zu Hause schenken, dann melde dich gerne per E-mail bei uns.

About Nela

What life with Nela looks like

Nela is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nela, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nela?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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 — ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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 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 ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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?: 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.
