Pearl

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

We have taken in Pearl together with several other dogs from our bmt-partner shelter in Brașov, Romania. At first, she was quite shy, but she is warming up every day and showing us her charming nature. When you come to her, she is happy and winks with her white eyelashes. She shares her room with two male dogs and seems to have no problems at all with friendly fellow animals. She could therefore also be a good second dog in a new home, but it is not necessarily required. We would like to see nice people, preferably a family with older children, take Pearl into their home and teach her everything a dog needs to know. Since she comes from Romania, we know nothing about her past. We also do not know whether she is used to living in an apartment. But even if she isn't, she will surely adapt quickly and appreciate her new life. If you are interested in Pearl, feel free to write us a detailed email.

Wir haben Pearl zusammen mit weiteren Hunden aus unserem bmt-Partnertierheim in Brașov, Rumänien, übernommen. Anfangs war sie noch recht schüchtern, aber sie taut täglich mehr auf und zeigt uns ihr entzückendes Wesen. Wenn man zu ihr kommt, freut sie sich und klimpert mit ihren weißen Wimpern. Sie teilt sich ihr Zimmer mit zwei Rüden und scheint mit freundlichen Artgenossen überhaupt keine Probleme zu haben. Sie könnte also auch als Zweithund in ein neues Zuhause ziehen, es ist aber nicht zwingend notwendig. Wir wünschen uns für Pearl nette Menschen, gerne auch eine Familie mit größeren Kindern, die sie in ihre Mitte nehmen und ihr alles beibringen, was man als Hund wissen muss. Da sie aus Rumänien stammt, wissen wir nichts über ihre Vergangenheit. Wir wissen auch nicht, ob sie das Leben in einer Wohnung kennt. Aber selbst wenn nicht, wird sie sich bestimmt schnell daran gewöhnen und ihr neues Leben zu schätzen wissen. Wenn Sie sich für Pearl interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Pearl

What life with Pearl looks like

Pearl is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

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 Pearl, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pearl?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Köln handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pearl on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pearl if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Köln 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 Pearl 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 Pearl 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 Tierheim Köln early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pearl 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.
