How do I contact the shelter about Blacky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Lucky Dog Hostel 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 — Lucky Dog Hostel 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 Lucky Dog Hostel 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.

Blacky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 19 years

RIP dear Blacky 13.5.2019 Blacky went over the rainbow bridge on 13.5.2019…… we are unspeakably sad and unfortunately there was no other alternative, due to a widespread carcinoma in the upper jaw. We cannot find the words…… the sky has a new star. Yesterday our "BLACKY" also went over the rainbow bridge, we are coming out of our mourning right now. Blacky was sedated by the vet yesterday and a rapidly growing widespread carcinoma in the oral cavity was confirmed, which had already spread to the upper jaw. We then did not let the little treasure wake up again…… Dear Blacky, we have held you very close in our hearts during the 14 months you were with us, and we are very, very sad that you followed Shilla and Biton so quickly. Run free, you little sweet lump, it will be very quiet here without you, we miss you already and will carry you in our hearts always. It is beautiful that we got to know and appreciate you, your special character will always be remembered and we will meet again someday.

RIP lieber Blacky 13.5.2019 Blacky ging am 13.5.2019 über die Regenbogenbrücke….. wir sind unsagbar traurig und leider gab es keine andere Alternative, aufgrund eines großflächigen Karzinom im Oberkiefer. Wir finden keine Worte….. der Himmel hat einen neuen Stern. Gestern ist nun auch noch unser „BLACKY“ über die Regenbogenbrücke gegangen,wir kommen aus dem trauern derzeit nicht raus. Blacky wurde gestern vom Tierarzt sediert und es wurde ein schnell wachsendes breitflächiges Karzinom im Mundraum festgestellt, was sich schon im Oberkiefer ausgebreitet hatte. Wir haben den kleinen Schatz dann nicht mehr aufwachen lassen…… Lieber Blacky, wir haben dich in den 14 Monaten, die du bei uns warst , sehr in unser Herz geschlossen und wir sind sehr sehr traurig, das du Shilla und Biton so schnell gefolgt bist. RUN FREE, du kleiner süßer Lump, es wird hier sehr ruhig werden ohne dich, wir vermissen dich jetzt schon und werden dich immer in unserem Herzen tragen. Schön, das wir dich kennen- und schätzen lernen durften, dein spezieller Charakter wird uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben und irgendwann treffen wir uns wieder.

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lucky Dog Hostel in Osterholz Scharmbeck.

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.
