Mekana, die tapfere Dame

Mixed Breed · Female

Mekana, the brave lady → Breed: Mixed breed → Gender: Female → Date of birth: approx. 2011 → Height: approx. 40–45 cm, approx. 24 kg → Spayed: Yes → Vaccinated: Yes → Identification: Microchip → Gets along with: Male and female dogs → Not compatible with: N/A Description: Mekana is a gentle and loving black mixed-breed dog who has unfortunately had a very difficult life so far. The brave lady was rescued from a kill shelter where dogs were severely mistreated and consequently became extremely shy around people. Despite all the negative experiences she’s had with us two-legged creatures, Mekana hasn’t given up on humans and, after an initial period of building trust, now happily lets herself be touched, petted, and loved again. Nevertheless, this brave dog needs a sensitive and, above all, understanding owner who can devote time to her. Due to the cruel method of capture using ropes, Mekana remains very timid when it comes to handling the leash. Nonetheless, this fighter is a dog who can form an exceptionally strong bond with her owner, making it impossible not to fall completely in love with her. Mekana gets along wonderfully with other dogs of her own species. Who would like to offer Mekana a loving home, a caring foster home, or a sponsorship? Note: This animal is still located abroad and is looking for a foster or permanent home. If you’d like to offer a foster home to increase its chances of being adopted...

Mekana, die tapfere Dame → Rasse: Mischling→ Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren am: ca. 2011 → Grösse: ca. 40-45cm, ca. 24kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.Beschreibung: Mekana ist eine sanfte und liebevolle schwarze Mischlingshündin, die es in ihrem Leben bisher leider ganz und gar nicht leicht hatte. Die tapfere Lady wurde aus einer Tötungsstation, in der die Hunde schwer misshandelt werden, gerettet und war in der Folge sehr scheu im Umgang mit Menschen. Trotz all der schlechten Erfahrungen, die sie im Umgang mit uns Zweibeinern gemacht hat, hat Mekana die Menschen nicht abgeschrieben und lässt sich nun, nach anfänglichem Vertrauensaufbau wieder gerne anfassen, streicheln und lieben. Dennoch benötigt die tapfere Hündin ein einfühlsamen und vor allem verständnisvolles Frauchen/Herrchen, das sich Zeit für sie nimmt. Durch das grausame Einfangen mit Stricken ist Mekana vor allem im Umgang mit der Leine noch sehr Scheu. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Kämpferin eine Hündin, die eine besonders starke Bindung zu ihrem Besitzer aufbauen kann, wodurch man sie einfach nur ins Herz schließen kann. Mit ihren Artgenossen verträgt Mekana sich sehr gut. Wer möchte Mekana ein liebevolles Zuhause, eine verständnisvolle Pflegestelle oder eine Patenschaft bieten?

About Mekana, die tapfere Dame

Frequently asked

Adopting Mekana, die tapfere Dame, answered.

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