Blackie

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Blackie was allowed to move to a foster home in North Hesse at the end of June! Here he learns everything a house dog needs to know. Blackie proves to be very teachable, and optically and in terms of behavior he could be a Mudi. He learns very quickly, has understood wearing a harness and leash within two days, including going for a walk, and now walks with it quite naturally. Blackie is a sunbeam, always in a good mood and enjoys people! April 2025 Blackie was found in a ditch near Ditrau in a bag at the end of February. The little dog boy was about 3-4 months old and was simply thrown away 🙁 Initially, Blackie was very anxious, but it has gotten much better. He is currently about 35cm tall, playful in a puppy-typical way (he shares the kennel with Loki) and is becoming more and more friendly with people.

Juli 2025 Blackie durfte Ende Juni auf Pflegestelle nach Nordhessen umziehen! Hier lernt er nun alles, was ein Haushund wissen muss. Blackie stellt sich als sehr gelehrig heraus, rein optisch und vom Verhalten her könnte er ein Mudi sein. Er lernt sehr schnell, hat innerhalb von zwei Tagen Geschirr und Leine tragen samt Gassi gehen verstanden und läuft nun ganz selbstverständlich mit. Blackie ist ein Sonnenschein, immer gut gelaunt und freut sich über Menschen! April 2025 Blackie wurde Ende Februar in einem Straßengraben in der Nähe von Ditrau in einem Sack gefunden. Der kleine Hundejunge ist etwa 3-4 Monate alt gewesen und wurde gemein einfach entsorgt 🙁 Anfangs war Blackie sehr ängstlich, inzwischen ist das sehr viel besser geworden. Momentan ist er um die 35cm groß, welpentypisch verspielt (er teilt sich mit Loki den Zwinger) und freundet sich mehr und mehr mit Menschen an.

About Blackie

What life with Blackie looks like

Blackie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Initiative Karpatenstreuner e.V. in Romania.

An young 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 Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blackie, answered.

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