Blacky

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 12 years

Opa Blacky sucht dringend ein Zuhause! Blacky musste leider bei uns bleiben, weil sein Besitzer schwer erkrankt ist. Für beide ein harter Schlag. Jetzt suchen wir dringend ein Zuhause für ihn, so dass er seinen Lebensabend nicht bei uns verbringen muss. Blacky ist ein rüstiger Rentner, der noch gerne spazieren geht. Er liebt alle Menschen und auch Kinder, die wissen wann ein alter Hund mal seine Ruhe braucht, sollten kein Problem sein. Blacky mag andere Hunde und spielt manchmal auch noch gerne. Aktuell bekommt er Schilddrüsentabletten, ist sonst altersentsprechend aber fit. Wer gibt unserem lieben Blacky ein Zuhause auf seinen alten Tage?

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Blacky, answered.

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