Blacky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Blacky is a male dog approximately 5.5 years old (born around January 15th, 2021), standing at 28 cm tall and weighing 5 kg. He has been neutered and tested negative for Leishmaniasis on May 29th, 2026; he will be retested before adoption. Blacky is currently in a Spanish animal shelter, ready to give his heart away. Blacky is an all-around great dog who immediately wins hearts with his friendly and balanced nature. He is very affectionate, outgoing, and open to people and other dogs alike. His small underbite gives him a special charm that makes him unmistakable.😉 Blacky walks nicely on a leash and shares his space in the open without any issues, showing himself to be social and uncomplicated. He shares his kennel with his friend Capone, who came from the city's Perrera to our partner animal shelter. The two get along well together. When Blacky arrived at the shelter, his fur was heavily matted. A volunteer patiently removed all the knots, and Blacky calmly let it happen without complaining. This shows how trusting and good-natured he is. Unfortunately, we don't know what Blacky experienced in his past. Like many dogs, he left the city's Perrera when a spot became available at our partner animal shelter. His past remains a mystery; all we want for him now is a future filled with love, security, and beautiful shared experiences. Blacky doesn't make big demands. He just needs people who love him and show him that he has finally arrived. Thanks to his balanced and social nature, he is also suitable for dog beginners. Whoever adopts Blacky will gain a loyal friend who will surely give his heart to his family. Video: July 26

Ca. 5,5 Jahre (geb. ca. 15.01.2021) 28 cm, 5 kg männlich, kastriert Leishmaniosetest negativ am 29.05.2026, wird vor der Ausreise nochmals getestet Noch im Tierheim in Spanien Blacky – bereit, endlich sein Herz zu verschenken Blacky ist ein rundum toller Hund, der mit seinem freundlichen und ausgeglichenen Wesen sofort die Herzen erobert. Er ist sehr lieb, verschmust, aufgeschlossen und begegnet Menschen sowie Artgenossen offen und freundlich. Sein kleiner Unterbiss verleiht ihm dabei einen ganz besonderen Charme und macht ihn einfach unverwechselbar.😉 An der Leine läuft Blacky bereits sehr angenehm. Im Freilauf teilt er sich den Platz problemlos mit vielen anderen Hunden und zeigt sich dabei sozial und unkompliziert. Seinen Zwinger teilt er mit seinem Freund Capone, mit dem er gemeinsam aus der städtischen Perrera in unser Partnertierheim gekommen ist. Die beiden verstehen sich ausgezeichnet. Als Blacky im Tierheim ankam, war sein Fell stark verfilzt. Eine freiwillige Helferin befreite ihn geduldig von den vielen Knoten, und Blacky liess die ganze Prozedur ruhig und gelassen über sich ergehen, ohne sich zu beschweren. Das zeigt, wie vertrauensvoll und gutmütig er ist. Was Blacky in seinem bisherigen Leben erlebt hat, wissen wir leider nicht. Wie so viele Hunde durfte er die städtische Perrera verlassen, als in unserem Partnertierheim ein Platz frei wurde. Seine Vergangenheit bleibt ein Geheimnis, umso mehr wünschen wir ihm nun eine Zukunft voller Liebe, Geborgenheit und schöner gemeinsamer Erlebnisse. Blacky stellt keine grossen Ansprüche. Er braucht einfach Menschen, die ihn lieben und ihm zeigen, dass er endlich angekommen ist. Dank seines ausgeglichenen und sozialen Wesens eignet er sich auch für Hundeanfänger. Wer Blacky adoptiert, gewinnt einen treuen Freund, der sein Herz mit Sicherheit an seine Familie verschenken wird. Video Juli 26

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at home4dogs in Home4dogs.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

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. home4dogs 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 — home4dogs 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 home4dogs 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.
