Ledy &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

The Malinois female dog Ledy was rescued from Ancsa to prevent her from being killed. The holding period was over, and no one had searched for Ledy. Like most dogs in the kill shelter, Ledy was very distressed and traumatized. Not uncommonly, large dogs are brutally snared with nets. Even after her rescue, Ledy showed extreme aversion and aggression towards people. Since this behavior did not improve and we do not save dogs only to confine them for the rest of their lives, Ancsa sent Ledy to a dog shelter for re-socialization. She was intensively trained. Ledy learned to tolerate the proximity of people and gradually understood that no danger came from them. In the first days, no one could touch her, as she would immediately become openly aggressive and snap forward. Training on a leash was not even considered, and so the trainer initially only went into Ledy’s kennel. He managed to win Ledy’s trust and could handle her. Even training in the city with her was attempted. Unfortunately, the training did not yield lasting success, and Ledy generally remains aggressively and openly hostile towards people.

Die Malinois-Hündin Ledy wurde von Ancsa aus der Tötung gerettet. Die Aufbewahrungsfrist war um, niemand hatte nach Ledy gesucht. Ledy war, wie die meisten Hunde in der Tötung, sehr verstört und traumatisiert. Nicht selten werden gerade große Hunde brutal mit Fangschlingen eingefangen. Ledi zeigte sich auch nach ihrer Rettung sehr ablehnen und aggressiv gegenüber Menschen. Da sich dieses Verhalten nicht besserte und wir keine Hunde retten, um sie dann ihr Leben lang einzusperren, schickte Ancsa Ledy in ein Hundeinternat zur Resozialisierung. Es wurde intensiv mit ihr trainiert wurde. Sie lernte, die Nähe zu Menschen zu dulden und Schritt für Schritt, dass ihr keine Gefahr durch Menschen droht. In den ersten Tagen konnte niemand sie berühren, da Lady gleich offen aggressiv nach vorne ging und schnappte. An ein Training mit Leine war gar nicht zu denken und so setzte sich der Trainer zunächst nur zu ihr in den Zwinger. Er schaffte es, Ledys Vertrauen zu gewinnen und konnte sie händeln. Zum Training war er sogar mit ihr in der Stadt. Leider brachte das Training keinen nachhaltigen Erfolg und Ledy tritt Menschen generell ablehnend und offen aggressiv gegenüber. An eine

About Ledy &#8211

What life with Ledy &#8211 looks like

Ledy &#8211 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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 Ledy &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ledy &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ledy &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ledy &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fellfreunde 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 Ledy &#8211 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 Ledy &#8211 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 Fellfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ledy &#8211 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.
