Tobala

Mixed Breed · Male

Tobala was brought to the shelter by its owner. He simply no longer had any interest in this dog. Tobala was used in racing, thus assigned to the bindery. Probably, he no longer had what it took to be a winner and was therefore given up. But he is a super great dog. At first, he is shy and reserved, and Tobala needs to earn trust. One must give him the time to win his heart. An experienced leader dog would be a great help for Tobala, as he could look to them for guidance. He loves the company of other dogs with whom he can run and play. Sighthounds are wonderful family dogs, so bigger kids are no problem. They love a soft, warm spot in the middle of their people and they are great companions!. Suitable only for households with older children.

DE·Show original

Tobala wurde von seinem Besitzer ins Refugium gebracht. Er hatte einfach kein Interesse mehr an diesem Hund. Tobala wurde bei Rennen eingesetzt, also der Buchbinderei verschrieben. Wahrscheinlich hat er nicht mehr das Zeug zum Sieger gehabt und deshalb abgegeben. Aber er ist ein super toller Hund. Anfangs ist er schüchtern und zurückhaltend, Tobala muss erst Vertrauen gewinnen. Man muss ihm die Zeit geben, um sein Herz zu erobern. Ein souveräner Ersthund würde Tobala eine große Hilfe sein, an ihn könnte er sich orientieren . Er liebt die Gesellschaft anderer Hunde, mit denen er laufen und spielen kann. Windhunde sind wunderbare Familienhunde, deshalb sind größere Kinder kein Problem. Sie lieben ein weiches warmes Plätzchen im Kreise seiner Menschen und sie sind tolle Begleiter!

About Tobala

What life with Tobala looks like

Tobala is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Tobala, answered.

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