Ozzy *20

Mixed Breed · Female

Country of origin: Romania Breed: Mixed breed Gender: Male Color: White-gray Shoulder height: approx. 70–75 cm Date of birth: approx. 2019/2020 Location: Romania Special feature: Livestock guardian dog Medical special feature: Watery eyes Sometimes you meet a dog who touches you deeply simply through his calm demeanor. OZZY is exactly such a dog. This large male dog is friendly, gentle, and genuinely devoted to humans. Despite his living conditions, he has retained his loving nature. Once again, OZZY visibly delighted in the treats we brought along and every little bit of affection. He thoroughly enjoyed the attention, sought closeness, and once more showed just how much he values human company. What’s particularly impressive about OZZY is his remarkable balance. Day after day, he lives in a very confined space without the mental stimulation and physical activity that a dog of his size so desperately needs. And yet, he faces his world with a serenity and composure that almost leaves one speechless. No reproach, no resignation—just that gentle look and quiet hope for better times. It was precisely this look that touched our hearts especially this time. OZZY’s eyes were noticeably watery, as if they were telling all the stories he himself cannot put into words. Whether it’s due to physical causes or simply the marks left by a life that hasn’t given him much so far remains only a guess. What’s certain, however, is that OZZY more than deserves finally to be seen. He’s not asking for much—not even a soft spot to rest on, loving hands, or people who’ll give him the attention he longs for so deeply. Above all, though, OZZY is waiting for the chance to finally feel at home and experience what a real home really feels like. Contact: Our dogs are vaccinated (against rabies and with two basic vaccinations), chipped, and equipped with an EU pet passport. They are tested—at our expense (we cover the lab fees)—for common Mediterranean diseases: babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, leishmaniasis, rickettsiosis, filariasis, hepatozoonosis, and anaplasmosis. They are placed for adoption only after a positive pre-check (home visit) and against a protection fee, accompanied by a protection contract. Important documents: Self-disclosure form for adopters Self-disclosure form for foster homes *The information provided about the dogs (especially those still in Romania) is given without guarantee. The records reflect snapshots in time only. The dogs have been documented by volunteer helpers to the best of their knowledge and belief. Therefore, discrepancies may occur regarding age, size, gender, health, and even behavior. We are an active alliance partner! Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V.

Herkunftsland: Rumänien Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: männlich Farbe: weiß-grau Schulterhöhe: ca. 70 – 75 cmGeburtsdatum: ca. 2019/2020Standort: Rumänien Besonderheit: HerdenschutzhundMedizinische Besonderheit: Tränende Augen Manchmal begegnet man einem Hund, der einen allein durch seine ruhige Ausstrahlung tief berührt. OZZY ist genau so ein Hund. Der große Rüde ist freundlich, sanft und dem Menschen von Herzen zugewandt. Trotz seiner Lebensumstände hat er sich seine liebevolle Art bewahrt. Auch diesmal freute sich OZZY wieder sichtlich über die mitgebrachten Leckerchen und jede noch so kleine Streicheleinheit. Er genoss die Aufmerksamkeit, suchte die Nähe und zeigte einmal mehr, wie sehr er die Gesellschaft von Menschen schätzt. Was an OZZY besonders beeindruckt, ist seine bemerkenswerte Ausgeglichenheit. Tag für Tag lebt er auf engstem Raum, ohne die Beschäftigung und Auslastung, die ein Hund seiner Größe eigentlich so dringend bräuchte. Und dennoch begegnet er seiner Welt mit einer Ruhe und Gelassenheit, die fast sprachlos macht. Kein Vorwurf, keine Resignation – nur dieser sanfte Blick und die stille Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten. Gerade dieser Blick ging diesmal besonders ans Herz. OZZYS Augen tränten auffallend stark, als würden sie all das erzählen, was er selbst nicht in Worte fassen kann. Ob es körperliche Ursachen sind oder einfach die Spuren eines Lebens, das ihm bisher nicht viel gegeben hat, lässt sich nur vermuten. Sicher ist jedoch: OZZY hat es mehr als verdient, endlich gesehen zu werden. Er wartet nicht auf viel. Auf ein weiches Plätzchen. Auf liebevolle Hände. Auf Menschen, die ihm die Aufmerksamkeit schenken, nach der er sich so sehr sehnt. Vor allem aber wartet OZZY auf die Chance, endlich anzukommen und zu erfahren, wie sich ein echtes Zuhause anfühlt. Kontakt: Unsere Hunde sind geimpft (Tollwut und 2x Grundimmunisierung) sind gechippt und mit dem EU-Heimtierausweis ausgestattet werden auf unsere Kosten (wir übernehmen die Labor-Gebühren) auf die gängigen Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet: Babesiose, Ehrlichiose, Leishmaniose, Rickettsien, Filarien, Hepatozoonose, Anaplasmose werden nur nach positiver Vorkontrolle (Hausbesuch) gegen eine Schutzgebühr mit Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Ozzy *20

What life with Ozzy *20 looks like

Ozzy *20 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. in Oberwies.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ozzy *20, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ozzy *20?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ozzy *20 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ozzy *20 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Lebenswert 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ozzy *20 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 Ozzy *20 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 Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ozzy *20 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.
