Wayona (groß)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

friendly, people-oriented, initially shy Wayona was rescued from being killed at the end of 2023. We cannot say how she ended up there, but if we hadn't taken her, it would have been a sure death for her. Barely skin and bones, with dull fur, she lay huddled in a corner and could barely lift her head. Look at how Wayona is doing today: she is a magnificent hound, with great fur and shining eyes, it is a joy to see her. Wayona hopes for a life with a comfortable dog bed in Germany. She is friendly and social with other dogs, but with strangers, she needs a moment to warm up, but then she lets herself be enthusiastically petted. Wayona would be happy to find a family where she can learn her doggy lessons and where she spends a lot of time in nature and cuddling.

freundlich, menschenbezogen, anfangs schüchtern Wayona haben wir Ende 2023 aus der Tötung geholt. Wie sie dort gelandet ist, können wir nicht sagen, doch hätten wir sie nicht mitgenommen, wäre es ihr sicherer Tod gewesen. Nur noch Haut und Knochen und mit stumpfen Fell lag sie als Häuflein Elend in einer Ecke und konnte kaum den Kopf heben. Schaut euch an, wie es Wayona heute geht: sie ist eine Prachthündin, hat tolles Fell und glänzende Augen, es ist eine Freude, sie anzusehen. Wayona hofft auf ein Leben mit einem gemütlichen Körbchen in Deutschland. Sie ist freundlich und sozial mit anderen Hunden, bei fremden Menschen braucht sie einen Moment, um aufzutauen, aber dann lässt sie sich begeistert durchkraulen.Wayona würde sich freuen, eine Familie zu finden, bei der sie das Hundeeinmaleins lernen darf und die viel Zeit mit ihr in der Natur und beim Kuscheln verbringt.

About Wayona (groß)

What life with Wayona (groß) looks like

Wayona (groß) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOKO Streuner e.V. in Bochum.

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 Wayona (groß), answered.

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