Tara

Cane Corso · Female

Our Bollerkopf Tara came to us in August this year and brings a sad story with her. According to the shelter she was rehomed to before, she was already abandoned and left alone twice in her young years… simply tied up and left, not just once. At one of her owners, she reportedly spent almost 8 months almost exclusively in the bathroom, which explains her impulsive reactions in crowded situations. When she came to us, she was given as a found dog, allegedly found tied up, by people who turned out to be her last owners. We hope we are all in agreement that at two years old, it’s finally time for the beautiful part of life to begin for Tara!? Do you see it too and are interested in the big, pretty female dog? Cool, then let me tell you a little more in advance…… We wish for Tara people with patience and energy, because she can already do pretty well on her own out of the crate, so she definitely needs a quiet counterpart, a real partner, a rock in the storm when it starts to get rough with her and it will at first. But Tara is the biggest cuddle mouse with her trusted people, she would like to crawl into her favorite people, and she doesn’t have too few of them. To gain trust, Tara needs a little time, and one should be aware of that, as well as the fact that she brings a lot of work with her, but one must not forget what one gets, because just as intensely as she can throw a tantrum, she shows her affection just as intensely. What Tara does not need is a hard hand! She shows in some situations that she has already had experience with this, and it does not contribute at all to gaining her trust, which is much more important than anything else with her. When Tara trusts, she lets herself be led, asks questions, is cooperative, and is overjoyed by a simple verbal praise or physical closeness. So, if you haven’t fallen in love now, you’re on your own! We hope you can imagine getting to know our little big Italian girl and giving her a chance to meet new people she can trust!. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Unser Bollerkopf Tara ist im August diesen Jahres zu uns gekommen und bringt eine traurige Geschichte mit.Laut dem Verein, über den sie vorher vermittelt wurde, wurde sie in ihren jungen Jahren bereits zweimal ausgesetzt…einfach angebunden und allein gelassen und das nicht nur einmal. Bei einem ihrer Halter hat sie laut Aussagen 8 Monate fast ausschließlich im Bad gelebt, was ihre impulsiven Reaktionen bei dichter Reizlage erklärt. Bei uns wurde sie dann als Fundhund abgegeben, angeblich angebunden gefunden, von Menschen, die sich im Nachhinein als die letzten Besitzer herausstellten.Wir hoffen, wir sind uns einig, dass jetzt mit zwei Jahren endlich der schöne Teil des Lebens für Tara starten sollte!? Seht ihr auch so und seid interessiert an der großen hübschen Hündin? Cool, dann erzählen wir euch noch ein wenig im Vorfeld……wir wünschen uns für Tara Menschen mit Geduld und Spucke, denn aus der Buxe fliegen kann sie allein schon ganz gut, daher braucht sie definitiv einen ruhigen Gegenpart, einen richtigen Partner, einen Fels in der Brandung, wenn es mal stürmisch wird und das wird es anfangs mit ihr werden.Aaaber Tara ist die allergrößte Kuschelmaus mit ihr vertrauten Menschen, sie würde am liebsten in ihre Lieblingsmenschen reinkriechen und davon hat sie nicht mal so wenige. Um Vertrauen zu gewinnen braucht Tara allerdings ein wenig Zeit und darüber sollte man sich bewusst sein, auch darüber, dass sie viel Arbeit mit sich bringt, aber bei all dem darf man nicht vergessen, was man bekommt, denn genauso intensiv wie sie an die Decke gehen kann, genauso intensiv zeigt sie ihre Zuneigung.Was Tara nicht braucht, ist eine harte Hand! Sie zeigt in einigen Situationen deutlich, dass sie damit schon Erfahrung gemacht hat und dies überhaupt nicht dazu beiträgt, ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen und das ist viel wichtiger, als alles andere bei ihr. Wenn Tara vertraut, dann verlässt sie sich auch, fragt ab, ist kooperativ und freut sich riesig über ein einfaches verbales Lob oder körperliche Nähe.So, wer sich jetzt nicht verliebt hat, ist selber Schuld! Wir hoffen, ihr könnt euch vorstellen, unsere kleine große Italienerin kennenzulernen und ihr eine Chance zu geben, neue Menschen zu treffen, denen sie vertrauen kann!

About Tara

What life with Tara looks like

Tara is a extra-large adult cane corso dog waiting at Tierheim Wuppertal in Wuppertal.

An 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 Tara, answered.

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