Ebony

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Ebony was rescued from a Romanian killing station in 2018 and found a safe place in our Namaco partner animal shelter. Since then, she has lived in a kennel with other dogs and has become noticeably more relaxed and friendly. Initially, Ebony only barked and did not want people to approach her. This is another sad story of a broken dog soul who must not have had any positive experiences with humans in her life and has already escaped death twice at a young age. Ebony has now understood that nothing bad will happen to her and comes to the fence to sniff and eats from her hand. This is a sign that she has not completely lost trust in humans, and we can build on that and work with it. The black beauty will need time to fully trust her new humans. The recipe for her is: calm, patience, time, and a lot of love! An age-appropriate bed would be ideal for our Ebony. She should also be allowed to have a few more great years away from bars. Ebony travels fully vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, spayed, tested for Mediterranean diseases, and with an EU pet passport to her new home.

DE·Show original

Ebony wurde 2018 aus einer rumänischen Tötungsstation gerettet und fand somit einen sicheren Platz in unserem Namaco Partnertierheim. Ebony bewohnt seit dem einen Zwinger mit weiteren Artgenossen und zeigt sich vom Wesen her mittlerweile deutlich entspannter und zutraulicher. Ebony hatte anfänglich nur gebellt und wollte nicht, dass man ihr näher kommt. Wieder ein trauriges Schicksal einer zerbrochenen Hundeseele, die in ihrem Leben zuvor sicherlich keine positiven Erlebnisse mit uns Menschen gehabt haben muss und bereits im jungen Alter dem Tod zweimal entkommen war. Ebony hat mittlerweile verstanden, dass ihr nichts schlimmes mehr zustoßen wird und kommt mittlerweile auch an den Zaun zum beschnuppern und frisst aus der Hand. Ein Zeichen, dass sie das Vertrauen zu uns Menschen doch nicht komplett verloren hat und daran kann man aufbauen und arbeiten. Die schwarze Schönheit wird Zeit benötigen, um ihren neuen Menschen ganz und gar Vertrauen schenken zu können. Auch bei ihr heißt das Rezept: Ruhe, Geduld, Zeit und eine ordentliche Portion Liebe! Ein altersgerechtes Körbchen wäre ideal für unsere Ebony. Auch sie soll noch ein paar tolle Jahre haben dürfen, fernab von Gitterstäben. Ebony reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause.

About Ebony

What life with Ebony looks like

Ebony is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ebony, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ebony?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ebony on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ebony if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ebony 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 Ebony 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 Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ebony 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.
