Fly

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Fly (born 04/2017, approx.) has developed wonderfully in her foster home and is showing more and more of what she's made of. Despite her gray beard, we would estimate her to be about 2-3 years younger, because Fly is really mobile, agile and full of enthusiasm on walks. She is a true top walking dog: Fly sniffs, explores and takes an interest in everything she comes across on the way. She has also gotten to know car travel by now and handles it well. Toward other dogs she tends to bark a bit at first, but she remains friendly and does nothing. With the right introduction, Fly is generally imaginable living with a second dog. She currently lives with a female dog who will soon be moving out. After that, Fly is to be socialized with another dog. Whether Fly will ultimately be happiest as a second dog or as a single princess, we can imagine both. Regular contact with other dogs should definitely be part of her future life, for example through walks with dog buddies, a dog school, or a suitable play group. Fly needs some time to warm up to her people. Trust does not come overnight with her. But once she has taken a person into her heart, she shows clearly how happy she is: when her primary caregiver arrives, Fly is "over the moon." Fly hit the jackpot at the beginning of July and was finally able to move to a loving foster home in Lübeck. In Romania she was described as a shy but curious female dog with a fine, quiet nature. She still shows this cautious side, but at the same time she displays more joy in life and self-confidence every day in her foster home. For Fly, we hope for people who communicate with her clearly and kindly and give her the time she needs. Several getting-to-know-you meetings should be planned. Those who do not rush Fly, but give her the chance to build trust, will gain an exceptionally wonderful companion for shared walks. If you are interested, and for easier communication, please provide a short description of yourself and your living situation, along with a telephone number. Fly is patiently waiting for love letters. Fly is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and, after a positive preliminary check, will be placed with a protection contract. A safety harness (3 straps) is required when collecting the dog. Such a harness can be purchased for only 25€.

Fly (lt. Pass geb. 04/2017) hat sich auf ihrer Pflegestelle richtig toll entwickelt und zeigt immer mehr, was in ihr steckt. Trotz ihres grauen Bärtchens würden wir sie etwa 2-3 Jahre jünger einschätzen, denn Fly ist richtig mobil, agil und beim Spaziergang mit großer Begeisterung unterwegs.Sie ist ein echter Top-Spaziergeh-Hund: Fly schnüffelt, erkundet und interessiert sich für alles, was ihr unterwegs begegnet. Auch Autofahren hat sie inzwischen kennengelernt und meistert es gut. Anderen Hunden gegenüber pöbelt sie anfangs gerne einmal ein bisschen – dabei bleibt sie aber freundlich und tut nichts. Mit der richtigen Annäherung ist Fly grundsätzlich gut mit einem Zweithund vorstellbar. Sie lebt aktuell mit einer Hündin zusammen, die bald ausziehen wird. Danach soll Fly mit einem anderen Hund vergesellschaftet werden.Ob Fly am Ende als Zweithund oder als Einzelprinzessin glücklich wird, können wir uns beides vorstellen. Regelmäßiger Kontakt zu anderen Hunden sollte in ihrem zukünftigen Leben aber auf jeden Fall dazugehören, beispielsweise durch Spaziergänge mit Hundekumpels, eine Hundeschule oder eine passende Spielgruppe.Bei ihren Menschen braucht Fly ein wenig Zeit zum Warmwerden. Vertrauen gibt es bei ihr nicht von jetzt auf gleich. Hat sie einen Menschen aber erst einmal ins Herz geschlossen, zeigt sie deutlich, wie sehr sie sich freut: Bei ihrer Bezugsperson freut sich Fly „wie Bolle“, wenn sie kommt.Fly hat Anfang Juli den Volltreffer gelandet und durfte endlich auf eine liebevolle Pflegestelle in Lübeck ausreisen. In Rumänien wurde sie als scheue, aber neugierige Hündin mit einem feinen, stillen Wesen beschrieben. Diese vorsichtige Seite bringt sie weiterhin mit – gleichzeitig zeigt sie auf ihrer Pflegestelle jeden Tag mehr Lebensfreude und Selbstvertrauen.Für Fly wünschen wir uns Menschen, die klar und freundlich mit ihr kommunizieren und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Mehrere Kennenlerntermine sollten eingeplant werden. Wer Fly nicht überstürzt, sondern ihr die Möglichkeit gibt, Vertrauen aufzubauen, bekommt eine ausgesprochen tolle Begleiterin für gemeinsame Spaziergänge.Bei Interesse und für eine einfachere Kommunikation bitte eine kurze Beschreibung zur eigenen Person und Wohnverhältnissen sowie eine Telefonnummer angeben. Fly wartet geduldig auf Liebesbriefe.Fly ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechippt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung des Hundes notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3 Riemen) kann für nur 25€ mit erworben werden.

About Fly

What life with Fly looks like

Fly is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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 Fly, answered.

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