Adopt NIGHT

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

NIGHT – a heart of gold in black fur❣ Hello, dear humans, my name is NIGHT. And yes, I live up to my name. My fur is as deep black as night, only the small brand on my nose tells of a past I’d like to leave behind. Not too long ago, I lay injured and alone in a street ditch. No one seemed to care for me, no one stopped to help. But then, loving animal welfare workers with big hearts didn’t give up on me. They brought me to the animal welfare hospital, where I was lovingly cared for. Today, I’m back to full health, full of joy, and ready for the best chapter of my life. I’m a friendly, outgoing male dog who enjoys the company of humans very much. Despite everything I’ve experienced, I’ve kept my cheerful nature. I look forward to every bit of attention, love shared activities, and simply belonging. Cuddles, exciting walks, and cozy snuggling hours top my wish list. What I still need is a forever home. People who love me, respect me, and show me that I’ll never be left or forgotten. A place where I can belong, feel secure, and slowly let my sad memories fade. If you want to give a loyal companion with a big heart a chance at a new life, don’t wait. Maybe I’m exactly the friend you’ve been waiting for.

NIGHT – ein Herz aus Gold im schwarzen Fell❣ Hallo, ihr lieben Menschen, mein Name ist NIGHT. Und ja, ich mache meinem Namen alle Ehre. Mein Fell ist tiefschwarz wie die Nacht, nur die kleine Brandmarke auf meiner Nase erzählt von einer Vergangenheit, die ich gern hinter mir lassen möchte. Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit lag ich verletzt und allein in einem Straßengraben. Niemand schien sich für mich zu interessieren, niemand hielt an, um mir zu helfen. Doch dann hatten liebe Tierschützer ein großes Herz und gaben mich nicht auf. Sie brachten mich ins Tierweichenhospital, wo ich liebevoll versorgt wurde. Heute bin ich wieder fit, voller Lebensfreude und bereit für den schönsten Abschnitt meines Lebens. Ich bin ein freundlicher, aufgeschlossener Rüde, der die Nähe zu Menschen sehr genießt. Trotz allem, was ich erlebt habe, habe ich mir mein fröhliches Wesen bewahrt. Ich freue mich über jede Aufmerksamkeit, liebe gemeinsame Unternehmungen und möchte einfach dazugehören. Streicheleinheiten, spannende Spaziergänge und gemütliche Kuschelstunden stehen bei mir ganz oben auf der Wunschliste. Was mir jetzt noch fehlt, ist ein Zuhause für immer. Menschen, die mich lieben, mich respektieren und mir zeigen, dass ich nie wieder verlassen oder vergessen werde. Ein Ort, an dem ich ankommen darf, Geborgenheit finde und meine traurigen Erinnerungen langsam verblassen können. Wenn du einem treuen Begleiter mit einem großen Herzen die Chance auf ein neues Leben schenken möchtest, dann warte nicht zu lange. Vielleicht bin genau ich der Freund, auf den du schon so lange gewartet hast.

About NIGHT

What life with NIGHT looks like

NIGHT is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young 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 NIGHT, answered.

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