PRIYA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

PRIYA mixed breed • 06/2025 • female, spayed, medium-sized • Portugal Priya was rescued from a chain with the help of our colleague, where she had spent her life until now. As a result, she doesn't know much about the world yet – but she is eager to catch up. At first, she appears shy and submissive when there are quick movements. She gets along well with other dogs, is generally very active, and incredibly curious. It's clear that she has had very few experiences so far – which makes her joy in discovering new things even greater. Once she gains trust, she becomes very cuddly, attentive, and eager to learn. She wants to please and loves working with her people. Currently, she is still very excited during walks and pulls on the leash, which is due to her past. However, she already does many things well: she quickly learned to climb stairs with us and now manages them without any problems. Walking on a leash also works well in general – it's just that her enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of her. For Priya, we are looking for active people who enjoy patiently and lovingly showing her the world. With calm, time, and understanding, she will develop into a wonderful companion. She brings everything with her – curiosity, love of life, and the desire to learn. Now she just needs the right home.

Priya haben wir gemeinsam mit unserer Kollegin aus einer schwierigen Lebenssituation gerettet. Viel von der Welt durfte sie bisher nicht kennenlernen, weshalb ihr manche Dinge noch fremd sind. Nun ist es an der Zeit, dass Priya all die schönen Seiten des Lebens entdeckt – ein liebevolles Zuhause, Geborgenheit und Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön die Welt sein kann. Anfangs begegnet Priya neuen Situationen noch etwas vorsichtig. Schnelle Bewegungen verunsichern sie manchmal, sodass sie sich zunächst eher zurückhaltend und unterwürfig zeigt. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine ausgesprochen neugierige und aktive Hündin, die mit großer Begeisterung ihre Umgebung erkundet. Man merkt ihr an, dass sie bisher nur wenig kennenlernen durfte – und wie sehr sie nun dabei ist, all die versäumten Erfahrungen nachzuholen. Hat Priya erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie ihre besonders liebevolle Seite. Sie genießt Nähe, ist verschmust, aufmerksam und möchte ihren Menschen gefallen. Dabei bringt sie viel Lernfreude mit und arbeitet gerne mit ihren Bezugspersonen zusammen. Auch im Alltag macht sie tolle Fortschritte. Beim Spazierengehen ist sie derzeit noch schnell aufgeregt und zieht dann gelegentlich an der Leine. Angesichts ihrer Vorgeschichte ist das jedoch nicht überraschend und wird sich mit etwas Übung weiter verbessern. Wie lernfähig sie ist, hat sie bereits bewiesen: Treppensteigen hat sie in kurzer Zeit gelernt und meistert es inzwischen ganz selbstverständlich. Auch das Laufen an der Leine klappt bereits gut – nur ihre Freude und Neugier sind manchmal noch etwas größer als ihre Geduld. Für Priya wünschen wir uns aktive und einfühlsame Menschen, die Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihr die Welt zu entdecken. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und liebevoller Begleitung wird sie sich zu einer wundervollen Begleiterin entwickeln. Sie bringt alles mit, was es dafür braucht: Neugier, Lebensfreude, einen klugen Kopf und ein großes Herz. Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch ein Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf.

About PRIYA

What life with PRIYA looks like

PRIYA is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4 Happy Paws e.V. in Saal an der Donau.

An 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 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 PRIYA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about PRIYA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Happy Paws e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PRIYA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt PRIYA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4 Happy Paws 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 PRIYA 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 PRIYA 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 4 Happy Paws e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know PRIYA 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.
