Soraya

Mixed Breed · Female · 1 year

Soraya came to us together with her parent dogs. She and her siblings were secured because the owner did not have a kennel license, and the dogs were obviously not well-treated there. As the three do not get along particularly well, we are fostering them separately. Soraya did not learn much in her previous home, so her real life is just beginning. She is still a bit wild on the leash and together with her mother, they are pure chaos. An ideal home for her would be one with a confident, balanced second dog who can take her by the lead. She is a great female dog, a rough diamond that still needs to be polished. Dog training classes would be fantastic. For Soraya, we are looking for kind people who can bring a lot of time and patience, spend a lot of time outdoors, and have some dog experience. If you are interested in Soraya, please send us a detailed email.

Soraya kam zusammen mit ihren Elterntieren zu uns. Sie wurden sichergestellt, da der Besitzer keine Haltegenehmigung hatte und die Hunde dort offenbar nicht gut behandelt wurden. Da sich die drei nicht besonders gut verstehen, vermitteln wir sie getrennt voneinander. Soraya hat in ihrem früheren Zuhause nicht viel kennengelernt, jetzt geht ihr also Leben erst richtig los. Sie ist noch etwas wild an der Leine und zusammen mit ihrer Mutter Chaos pur. Ideal für sie wäre ein Zuhause mit einem souveränen, ausgeglichenen Zweithund, der sie an die Pfote nimmt. Sie ist eine tolle Hündin, ein Rohdiamant, der noch etwas geschliffen werden muss. Eine Hundeschule wäre super. Das Einmaleins wird sie bestimmt ganz schnell lernen. Für Soraya suchen wir nette Menschen, die viel Zeit und Geduld mitbringen, viel Zeit draussen verbringen und über etwas Hundeerfahrung verfügen. Wenn Sie sich für Soraya interessieren, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Soraya

What life with Soraya looks like

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

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 Soraya, answered.

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