Ferry *20

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Country of origin: Romania Breed: Mixed breed Gender: Male Color: Beige-black Shoulder height: approx. 60–65 cm Date of birth: approx. 2023/2024 Location: Romania Update July 2026: Ferry is a special male dog who still approaches the world with great caution. At the moment, he doesn’t yet allow himself to be touched—his trust simply isn’t there yet. However, he’s already taking small but valuable steps: he’ll take treats from your hand, demonstrating that his curiosity is growing and that he’s slowly starting to open up to people. Ferry needs time—time to settle in, time to understand that no one means him any harm. His future family should not rush him but instead meet him with patience, calmness, and understanding. Because trust doesn’t grow overnight for Ferry—but once it’s there, it’s truly something very special. Ferry gets along well with other dogs and likes to orient himself toward them. They give him security and help him become braver. Ferry is looking for people who don’t expect the “perfect” dog, but who are ready to celebrate every single little step he takes together with him. Because behind his shy exterior lies a dog who finally longs to experience what it feels like to be safe and to have a loving home. —————– This relatively young male dog shows considerable fearfulness. He avoids any contact with humans. Under pressure, he has even snapped at times. With the other dogs in the kennel, he gets along well. Contact: Our dogs are vaccinated (against rabies and with two basic vaccinations), chipped, and equipped with an EU pet passport. At our expense (we cover the lab fees), they are tested for common Mediterranean diseases: babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, leishmaniasis, rickettsiosis, filariasis, hepatozoonosis, and anaplasmosis. They are only placed into new homes after a positive pre-check (home visit) and against a protection fee, accompanied by a protection contract. Important documents: Self-disclosure form for adopters Self-disclosure form for foster homes *The information provided about the dogs (especially those still in Romania) is given without guarantee. The records reflect snapshots only. The dogs were documented by volunteer helpers to the best of their knowledge and belief. Therefore, discrepancies may occur regarding age, size, gender, health, and even behavior. We are an active alliance partner! Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V.

Herkunftsland: Rumänien Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: männlich Farbe: beige-schwarz Schulterhöhe: ca. 60 – 65 cmGeburtsdatum: ca. 2023/2024Standort: Rumänien Update Juli 2026: Ferry ist ein besonderer Rüde, der die Welt noch mit großer Vorsicht betrachtet. Anfassen lässt er sich derzeit noch nicht – dafür fehlt ihm das Vertrauen. Doch er zeigt bereits kleine, wertvolle Schritte: Leckerchen nimmt er aus der Hand und beweist damit, dass seine Neugier größer wird und er sich langsam auf den Menschen einlässt. Ferry braucht Zeit. Zeit, um anzukommen. Zeit, um zu verstehen, dass ihm niemand etwas Böses möchte. Seine zukünftige Familie sollte ihn nicht drängen, sondern ihm mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis begegnen. Denn Vertrauen wächst bei Ferry nicht über Nacht – aber wenn es einmal da ist, ist es etwas ganz Besonderes. Mit anderen Hunden ist Ferry verträglich und orientiert sich gerne an ihnen. Sie geben ihm Sicherheit und helfen ihm dabei, mutiger zu werden. Ferry sucht Menschen, die nicht den perfekten Hund erwarten, sondern bereit sind, gemeinsam mit ihm jeden noch so kleinen Fortschritt zu feiern. Denn hinter seiner schüchternen Fassade wartet ein Hund, der endlich erfahren möchte, wie sich Geborgenheit und ein liebevolles Zuhause anfühlen. —————– Dieser noch recht junge Rüde zeigt sich sehr ängstlich. Er geht jeglichem Kontakt mit dem Menschen aus dem Weg. Unter Bedrängung hat er auch schon mal geschnappt. Mit den anderen Hunden im Kennel zeigt er sich verträglich. Kontakt: Unsere Hunde sind geimpft (Tollwut und 2x Grundimmunisierung) sind gechippt und mit dem EU-Heimtierausweis ausgestattet werden auf unsere Kosten (wir übernehmen die Labor-Gebühren) auf die gängigen Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet: Babesiose, Ehrlichiose, Leishmaniose, Rickettsien, Filarien, Hepatozoonose, Anaplasmose werden nur nach positiver Vorkontrolle (Hausbesuch) gegen eine Schutzgebühr mit Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Ferry *20

What life with Ferry *20 looks like

Ferry *20 is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. in Oberwies.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Ferry *20, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ferry *20?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ferry *20 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ferry *20 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Lebenswert 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 Ferry *20 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 Ferry *20 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 Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ferry *20 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.
