Katy

Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Katy is a white-brown, spayed Dalmatian mix female born on 05.10.2015. She is currently living in a temporary foster home in Dresden. Update 02.10.2026: On Tuesday, the city administration of Katy's owners called us. Both are severely ill and are in the hospital and cannot keep Katy. Katy is currently alone in the house and is very anxious and does not let anyone in. The next shelters are all overcrowded. Through the entry in the EU pet passport, we were contacted. So all levers were set in motion after the first shock and Simone in Dresden, who actually did not want to take a dog for a long time, said yes spontaneously and so Katy came to her in the evening. The original description of Katy still fits. She is traumatized and also neglected due to what she has experienced in the last few weeks. The owners tried everything to avoid separating from her. Since Simone only jumped in as a last resort, she would move to Sonja's boarding kennel in Rüsselsheim at the end of October. We would like to spare her this. Katy is an insecure, anxious female who likes to have her people to herself, but can live with handling with dogs in the foster home. Something calmer and more settled would be optimal or single place. Maybe someone would like to become a lifeline for Katy. Whoever wants to give Katy a home and/or foster home with the option of adoption, please contact: SOS-Dalmatinerrettung e.V. Nicole Breitholz or www.sos-dalmatinerrettung.de Please read the process and conditions of the placement on the placement page

Katy ist eine weiß-braune, kastrierte am 05.10.2015 geborene Dalmatiner Mix Hündin Aktuell lebt sie auf einer Not Pflegestelle in Dresden update 05.10.2026:Katy ist gebadet worden udn seht selber, wie sie es genossen hat. Dann war gestern ihr 11. Geburtstag und der wurde gefeiert. update 02.10.2026:Am Dienstag rief uns die Stadtverwaltung Wohnort der Besitzer von Katy an. Beide sind schwer erkrankt und sind im Krankenhaus und können Katy nicht behalten. Katy ist aktuell alleine im Haus und ist voll durch den Wind und lässt keinen ins Haus rein. Die nächsten Tierheime sind alle überfüllt. Über den Eintrag im EU-Heimtierausweis kam man auf uns. Also alle Hebel, nach dem ersten Schock in Bewegung gesetzt und Simone in Dresden, die eigentlich für längere Zeit keinen Hund aufnehmen wollte, sagte spontan zu und so kam am Abend noch Katy zu ihr. Die Ursprungs Beschreibung von Katy passt immer noch. Sie ist durch das erlebte und das war in den letzten Wochen nicht schön, traumatisiert und auch vernachlässigt. Die Besitzer versuchten alles um sich nicht von ihr trennen zu müssen. Da Simone nur als Notfall eingesprungen ist, würde sie gegen Ende Oktober zu Sonja in Pension nach Rüsselsheim ziehen. Wir würden ihr es gerne ersparen. Katy ist eine unsichere, ängstliche Hündin, die ihre Menschen gerne für sich alleine hat, aber in der Pflegestelle durchaus mit Handling mit Hunden zusammenleben kann. Etwas ruhigeres gesetztes wäre optimal oder Einzelplatz. Vielleicht möchte jemand der Rettungsanker für Katy werden. Wer Katy ein Zuhause und/oder Pflegestelle mit Option Übernahme geben möchte, der wende sich an: SOS-Dalmatinerrettung e.V.

About Katy

What life with Katy looks like

Katy is a senior dog waiting at SOS-Dalmatinerrettung e.V. in Neustad.

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. 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 Katy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS-Dalmatinerrettung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Katy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS-Dalmatinerrettung 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Katy 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 Katy 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 SOS-Dalmatinerrettung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Katy 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.
