Pony

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

We have taken in Pony along with ten other dogs from our partner animal shelter in Brașov, Romania. Initially she was quite shy but has now thawed and is enjoying life. She looks forward to her daily walk through the woods and already walks very well on a leash. She gets along well with other dogs and could be considered as a second dog for adoption. We think there may be a small amount of herding instinct in Pony, which should be taken into consideration before adopting. It is possible but not certain that she will develop some protective instinct when she grows up. This doesn't have to happen but if it does, you need to be able to handle it. It might be a good idea to take her to dog school now. If you are interested in the charming Pony please send us an email with more details.

Wir haben Pony zusammen mit zehn weiteren Hunden aus unserem Partnertierheim in Brașov, Rumänien, übernommen. Anfangs war sie recht scheu, aber mittlerweile ist sie aufgetaut und freut sich des Lebens. Sie freut sich täglich auf den Spaziergang durch den Wald und läuft bereits sehr gut an der Leine. Mit Artgenossen ist sie gut verträglich und könnte auch als Zweithund vermittelt werden. Wir denken, dass in Pony ein kleine Portion Herdenschutzhund stecken könnte, was man vor der Adoption beachten sollte. Es ist möglich, aber nicht sicher, dass sie, wenn sie erwachsen ist, einen gewissen Schutzinstinkt entwickeln wird. Das muss nicht sein, aber wenn, dasnn sollte man damit umgehen können. Vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll, jetzt schon mit ihr eine Hundeschule zu besuchen. Wenn Sie sich für die bezaubernde Pony interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Pony

What life with Pony looks like

Pony 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 Pony, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pony?
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 Pony on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pony 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 Pony 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 Pony 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 Pony 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.
