Ghana

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Imagine the following story: A woman enters an animal clinic with her two large, beautiful, healthy, and young female dogs and asks the veterinarian to euthanize her two female dogs. You listen, and you hear the woman explain that both female dogs have been on a chain on her property since puppyhood. Chained because the female dogs would otherwise run away and hunt the neighbor’s animals. You listen as the veterinarian explains that he cannot euthanize these healthy female dogs so easily, especially not because they are not sick, which would justify it. You also listen as the woman explains that she needs the dogs dead by the following Sunday because she has already ordered a backhoe to dig a hole to bury the dogs. Imagine stepping in at this point and trying to convince the woman to seek alternative solutions for the two female dogs. For example, finding each a new beautiful and, most importantly, loving home. A home with family connections and not on a chain. And imagine the woman responding that she does not want to seek alternative solutions. This is exactly what happened in an animal clinic in Spain. The veterinarian refused to euthanize the female dogs, and another loving woman stepped in to take the dogs to the animal shelter Mi Fiel Amigo, so they were not buried and now have the chance to find a new loving home. The female dogs were named Ghana and Guinea and likely received their first names in their lives. Whether these names stay or if they receive even more beautiful names, it will be up to their new favorite people. Ghana and Guinea are wonderful, heart-warm, social, and peaceful young female dogs who get along well with everyone in the animal shelter. They do not present themselves as guard dogs but have more calm and balanced personalities.

Stellen Sie sich einmal folgende Geschichte vor: Eine Frau betritt mit ihren beiden großen, schönen, gesunden und jungen Hündinnen eine Tierarztpraxis und bittet den Tierarzt darum, ihre beiden Hündinnen einzuschläfern. Sie hören zu und sie hören auch, wie die Frau erzählt, dass beide Hündinnen seit der Welpenzeit angekettet auf ihrem Grundstück leben. Angekettet, weil die Hündinnen ansonsten weglaufen würden und die Tiere des Nachbarn jagen würden. Sie hören zu, wie der Tierarzt erklärt, dass er diese gesunden Hündinnen nicht einfach so einschläfern könne, vor allem auch nicht, weil sie keine Krankheiten hätten, was dies gerechtfertigten würde. Sie hören auch zu, als die Frau erzählt, dass sie die Hunde bis zum kommenden Sonntag tot bräuchte, weil sie bereits einen Bagger bestellt hätte, der ihr das Loch graben würde, um die Hunde dort zu begraben. Stellen Sie sich vor, sie greifen an dem Punkt ein und versuchen die Frau zu überzeugen, doch nach alternativen Lösungen für die beiden Hündinnen zu suchen. Zum Beispiel, je ein neues schönes und vor allem liebevolles Zuhause für die Hündinnen zu finden. Ein Zuhause mit Familienanschluss und nicht an der Kette. Und stellen Sie sich vor, die Frau antwortet Ihnen, dass sie nicht nach alternativen Lösungen suchen wolle. Genau so ist dies passiert, in einer Tierarztpraxis in Spanien. Der Tierarzt weigerte sich die Hündinnen einzuschläfern und eine andere tierliebe Frau sprang ein und übernahm die Hunde ins Tierheim Mi Fiel Amigo, sodass sie nicht begraben wurden und nun die Chance haben, ein neues liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Die Hündinnen wurden Ghana und Guinea getauft und haben wahrscheinlich zum ersten Mal einen Namen in ihrem Leben. Ob diese Namen so bleiben, oder ob sie nochmal andere schöne Namen erhalten, obliegt ihren neuen Lieblingsmenschen. Ghana und Guinea sind wundervolle, herzensgute, gesellige und friedliche Junghündinnen, die sich im Tierheim mit allen gut verstehen. Sie präsentieren sich nicht als Wachhunde, sondern sie haben eher ruhige und ausbalancierte Charaktereigenschaften.

About Ghana

What life with Ghana looks like

Ghana is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ghana, answered.

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