Tora

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Our animal rescuers report: In a wooded area near the resort town of Borsec, a mother dog raised her puppies. Maria, our dear local animal rescuer, and her sister provided food for the dog family and caught and spayed the mother dog when the puppies were about 8 weeks old. They were already starting to leave their den and were in danger of being discovered by people who would either take them to chain them up on their farm as guard dogs or by dog catchers who would bring them to a killing station to collect money. About 2 weeks after her spaying, the mother dog did not return to her puppies. She is probably a victim of a wild attack. Maria and her sister took care of the 4 remaining sisters, placed them in a private foster home and gave them the names Tora, Tea, Trixie and Tia. There they were safe, had contact with people and were cared for. Tora and her sisters lived in a fenced property, played with each other and dozed off into the day. They gave each other support and developed a strong bond with each other. What they lacked for their development were any environmental stimuli. They did not know life in a house or an apartment, nor life in a city. But they also had no bad experiences. They are therefore raw diamonds that still need to be carefully polished. Tora and her sisters are reserved to suspicious towards strangers. However, familiar reference persons are greeted with joy and enjoy the caresses from them. When Tora and her sisters just turned 6 months old, the living situation of the foster family changed, and they were temporarily accommodated in a pet hotel. Tia was successfully placed, and Tea made it to a foster home in Bocholt on July 25. Tora and Trixie remained in Romania and are suffering greatly from the separation from their sisters. In order for Tora to develop positively, she needs a home in the near future, where she is given a framework with rituals and routines in which she can develop her potential under guidance. The imprinting by her caring mother and the positive experiences with people are very good prerequisites that Tora can develop into a friendly, social and cooperative everyday companion. She is still growing and will reach an estimated medium size of about 55 cm. We wish for Tora that she finds people who encounter her with patience and love and who take on the beautiful task of accompanying and guiding her on her further way. Who lets this gentle puppy into his heart, gives her security and a happy future? Please note: The feedback from the animal shelters and foster homes reflects the current behavior of those here to

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: In einem Waldstück in der Nähe des Ferienortes Borsec zog eine Hundemutter ihre Welpen auf. Maria, unsere liebe Tierschützerin vor Ort, und ihre Schwester haben die Hundefamilie mit Futter versorgt und die Mutterhündin einfangen und kastrieren lassen, als die Welpen etwa 8 Wochen alt waren. Sie begannen bereits, sich von ihrem Wurflager zu entfernen, und gerieten so in Gefahr, von Menschen entdeckt zu werden, die sie entweder mitnahmen, um sie dann auf ihrem Hof anzuketten und als Wachhund zu halten oder von Hundefängern, die sie in eine Tötungsstation brachten, um dafür Geld zu kassieren. Ungefähr 2 Wochen nach ihrer Kastration ist die Mutterhündin nicht mehr zu ihren Welpen zurückgekehrt. Sie ist vermutlich einem Wildangriff zum Opfer gefallen.Maria und ihre Schwester nahmen sich der 4 verbliebenen Schwestern an, brachten sie auf einer privaten Pflegestelle unter und gaben ihnen die Namen Tora, Tea, Trixie und Tia. Dort waren sie in Sicherheit, hatten Kontakt zu Menschen und wurden versorgt. Tora und ihre Schwestern lebten dort in einem eingezäunten Grundstück, spielten miteinander und dösten in den Tag hinein. Sie gaben einander Halt und entwickelten eine starke Bindung zueinander. Was ihnen für ihre Entwicklung fehlte, waren jegliche Umweltreize. Sie lernten weder das Leben in einem Haus oder einer Wohnung kennen, noch das Leben in einer Stadt. Sie haben aber auch keine schlechten Erfahrungen gemacht. Sie sind also Rohdiamanten, die erst noch behutsam geschliffen werden müssen. Gegenüber fremden Personen verhalten sich Tora und ihre Schwestern zurückhaltend bis misstrauisch. Vertraute Bezugspersonen werden jedoch freudig begrüßt und Streicheleinheiten von ihnen genossen.Als Tora und ihre Schwestern gerade 6 Monate alt wurden, änderte sich die Lebenssituation der Pflegefamilie, und sie wurden vorübergehend in einem Tierhotel untergebracht. Tia ist erfolgreich vermittelt worden, und Tea hat es am 25. Juli auf eine Pflegestelle nach Bocholt geschafft. Tora und Trixie blieben in Rumänien zurück und leiden sehr unter der Trennung von ihren Schwestern.Damit sich Tora weiter positiv entwickeln kann, braucht sie zeitnah ein Zuhause, in dem ihr mit Ritualen und Routinen ein Rahmen vorgegeben wird, in dem sie ihr Potenzial unter Anleitung entfalten kann. Die Prägung durch ihre fürsorgliche Mutter und die positiven Erfahrungen mit Menschen sind sehr gute Voraussetzungen, dass sich Tora zu einer freundlichen, sozialen und kooperativen Alltagsbegleiterin entwickeln kann. Sie befindet sich noch im Wachstum und wird schätzungsweise eine mittlere Größe um die 55 cm erreichen. Wir wünschen uns für Tora, dass sie Menschen findet, die ihr mit Geduld und Liebe begegnen und die schöne Aufgabe übernehmen, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu begleiten und anzuleiten. Wer lässt diese sanfte Junghündin in sein Herz, gibt ihr Sicherheit und eine glückliche Zukunft?

About Tora

What life with Tora looks like

Tora is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Tora, answered.

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