Pila

Mixed Breed · Female

Pila is a cute, very curious female dog who constantly seeks the company of her human. Initially a bit shy, she quickly shows her sociable side, as cuddling and snuggling are at the top of her list. The young lady is very active, and already walks nicely on a leash. Dog companions or pedestrians are greeted politely, but not in an intrusive way. Our Pila is a pleasant female dog, who doesn't have any problems with longer car rides. Although the little one is very clingy, she stays well alone for an appropriate period of time at home. Our sunshine is a nature lover, and would like to have a loving home in a rural area or on the edge of town, as long as there is lots of green! Children are welcome, but should be somewhat older and not too rambunctious.

DE·Show original

Pila ist ein putziges, noch sehr neugieriges Hundemädchen, das ständig die Nähe ihres Menschen sucht. Anfänglich etwas schüchtern, zeigt sie sich schnell von ihrer geselligen Seite, denn schmusen und kuscheln steht für die Süße ganz oben auf ihrer Wunschliste. Die junge Lady ist sehr bewegungsfreudig, wobei sie schon schön an der Leine läuft. Hundekumpels oder Spaziergänger werden zwar freundlich, aber nicht aufdringlich begrüßt. Unsere Pila ist eine angenehme Hündin, der auch längere Autofahrten keine Probleme bereiten. Obwohl die Kleine unheimlich anhänglich ist, bleibt sie bereits eine angemessene Zeit brav alleine zuhause. Unser Sonnenschein ist ein Naturfreak, und hätte gerne ein liebevolles Zuhause in einer ländlichen Gegend oder am Stadtrand, Hauptsache viel Grün! Kinder sind willkommen, allerdings sollten diese schon etwas größer und nicht zu stürmisch sein.

About Pila

What life with Pila looks like

Pila is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pila, answered.

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