Wila

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 4 years

Wila und ihre Tochter Kicka hatten ursprünglich ein gutes Zuhause. Als ihre Besitzerin umziehen musste, ließ sie die beiden Hündinnen bei ihrer Mutter in dem Glauben, dass es ihnen dort gut ginge. Bei der Mutter mussten die beiden aber draußen im Müll leben und wurden auch beide gedeckt. Wila ist eine sehr selbstbewusste Hündin, die aber mit anderen Hunden aber gut zurechtkommt. Bei Spaziergängen mit anderen Hunden gibt es keine Probleme oder Gezicke. An der Leine geht sie vorbildlich. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist sie erst einmal vorsichtig und lässt sich nicht bedrängen, taut aber schnell auf und liebt es zu schmusen. Wenn Menschen an ihrem Zwinger vorbeikommen, macht sie mit Gekläffe auf sich aufmerksam. Wila hat zwar schon einmal in einem Haus gelebt, trotzdem wird sie Zeit benötigen, sich in einer neuen Umgebung zurechtzufinden.

About Wila

What life with Wila looks like

Wila is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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 Wila, answered.

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