Blacky

Rottweiler · Male · Senior · 9 years

Blacky - Cuddly Rottweiler mix seeks a new home Blacky is a loving and loyal Rottweiler mix who shows himself to be a real cuddle bear after a short introduction. Once he has gained trust in his people, he builds a close bond with them. He loves to cuddle, enjoys long petting sessions and likes to be close to his caregivers. On walks, Blacky proves to be a pleasant companion. He walks very well on a leash and encounters with people, other dogs, horses and cars have been problem-free so far. How Blacky behaves in direct contact with other dogs will be clarified in the next few days. The coexistence with cats is also not known and would have to be tested accordingly. A loving home is sought for Blacky with people who give him enough time to build trust and appreciate his loyal and cuddly nature. Blacky is not given away as a first dog and there should also be no children in the household. Since his previous owner could no longer keep him for health reasons, Blacky is now looking for a new, suitable home where he can arrive and build a close bond with his people.

Blacky – Verschmuster Rottweiler-Mix sucht ein neues Zuhause Blacky ist ein liebevoller und loyaler Rottweiler-Mix, der sich nach kurzer Kennenlernzeit als richtiger Schmusebär zeigt. Sobald er Vertrauen zu seinen Menschen gefasst hat, baut er eine enge Bindung zu ihnen auf. Er liebt es zu kuscheln, geniesst ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten und sucht gerne die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Auf Spaziergängen zeigt sich Blacky als angenehmer Begleiter. Er läuft sehr gut an der Leine und Begegnungen mit Menschen, anderen Hunden, Pferden und Autos verlaufen bisher problemlos. Wie sich Blacky im direkten Kontakt mit anderen Hunden verhält, wird in den nächsten Tagen noch genauer abgeklärt. Auch das Zusammenleben mit Katzen ist bisher nicht bekannt und müsste entsprechend getestet werden. Für Blacky wird ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen gesucht, die ihm genügend Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und seine treue und verschmuste Art zu schätzen wissen. Blacky wird nicht als Ersthund abgegeben und es sollten auch keine Kinder im Haushalt leben. Da sein bisheriger Besitzer ihn aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr halten konnte, sucht Blacky nun ein neues, passendes Zuhause, in dem er ankommen und eine enge Bindung zu seinen Menschen aufbauen darf.

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is an extra-large senior rottweiler dog waiting at Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde in Hunde Hilfe.

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 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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blacky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blacky?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde whether they will for Blacky, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Blacky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde lists Blacky as not yet neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Blacky isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
