Rottweiler Ambra &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

Ambra came to us because her owner, due to age, could no longer adequately care for Ambra. Originally, a family member was going to take her in, but their efforts were short-lived when he acquired new dogs with whom Ambra was not compatible. She moped around, and her light moment was her granddaughter, who from time to time, with her small male dog, freed Ambra from her melancholy. A complete takeover was not possible, and so she made it her mission to find Ambra a chance. Here, she has adapted well in a short time. Ambra has greeted all people kindly so far, even though she is typically watchful—sometimes in a noticeable and impressive volume. Some veterinary examinations are still pending, and due to her age, she receives joint supplements with her food, and an indoor home is sought. Although no obvious complaints are present, one can see from her gait that Ambra is no longer young. An X-ray revealed that both of her hind knee joints have arthritis, likely due to untreated cruciate ligament injuries. Currently, we do not feel that Ambra is in pain. More serious is the sad diagnosis of a metastatic cancer, turning the lovable female dog into an emergency in need of a foster home to possibly spend a happy retirement. Of course, an adopter who is up to the task would be even better. She is on medication to slow the tumor growth. Ambra is a great female dog, even though other female dogs do not count as friends. With male dogs, one should try, and cats are not her thing. Ambra is leash-trained, and with dog experience, she can be corrected in situations where she shows off her muscles. She is house-trained, and she is accustomed to being left alone. Children should be older and stable, as she has no experience with handling small children. A home with a house and garden, of course with access to the house, is desirable, but not a condition. We consistently refuse outdoor-only housing for all our shelter animals. Who would like to give Ambra the chance to be a beloved family member for the rest of her life?.

Ambra kam zu uns, da sich ihr Herrchen aus Altersgründen nicht mehr ausreichend um Ambra kümmern konnte. Eigentlich wollte sich ein Familienmitglied ihrer annehmen, das Bemühen war jedoch von kurzer Dauer und vorbei, als er sich neue Hunde anschaffte, mit denen Ambra nicht kompatibel war. Sie dümpelte Ambra vor sich hin und ihr Lichtblick war die Enkelin, die Ambra gemeinsam mit ihrem kleinen Rüden von zu Zeit zu Zeit aus Ihrer Tristesse befreite. Eine gänzliche Übernahme war nicht möglich und so kümmerte Sie sich darum, für Ambra eine Chance zu suchen. Bei uns bekommt sie eine, Ambra hat sich in kurzer Zeit gut eingelebt. Bisher begegnet sie allen Menschen freundlich, auch wenn sie rassetypisch wachsam ist- das auch in hörbarer und beeindruckender Lautstärke. Einige Tierarztuntersuchungen stehen noch aus, altersbedingt wird Gelenkzusatz mit dem Futter verabreicht und ein eher ebenerdiges Zuhause gesucht. Auch wenn noch keine offensichtlichen Beschwerden vorliegen, kann man am Gangbild sehen, das Ambra nicht mehr zum jungen Gemüse zählt. Ein Röntgenbild ergab, das beide hinteren Kniegelenke Arthrosen aufweisen, deren Ursache vermutlich unbehandelten Kreuzbandrissen zu Grunde liegen. Aktuell haben wir nicht das Gefühl, das Ambra Schmerzen hat. Schwerwiegender ist der traurige Befund einer Krebsdianose, so wird die liebenswerte Hündin zum Notfall, der ab sofort Paten sucht, um eventuell auf einer Pflegestelle einen schönen Lebensabend verbringen zu dürfen. Noch schöner wäre natürlich ein Adoptant, der sich dieser Aufgabe gewachsen sieht. Sie wurde auf Medikamente eingestellt, der den Tumorwachstum hemmen soll. Ambra ist eine tolle Hündin, auch wenn andere Hündinnen nicht zu ihrem Freundeskreis zählen. Mit Rüden müsste man es versuchen, Katzen sind nicht ihr Ding. Ambra ist gut leinenführig, mit Hundeerfahrung auch in Situationen korrigierbar, in denen sie mal die Muskeln spielen lässt. Sie ist stubenrein, das Alleinbleiben ist sie gewohnt. Kinder sollten schon älter und standfest sein, den Umgang mit Kleinkindern kennt sie bisher nicht. Ein Zuhause mit Haus und Garten, natürlich mit Zugang zum Haus ist wünschenswert, jedoch nicht Bedingung. Reine Aussenhaltung lehnen wir für alle unsere Schützlinge konsequent ab. Wer möchte Ambra für den Rest ihres Lebens die Chance geben, ein geliebtes Familienmitglied zu sein…..?

About Rottweiler Ambra &#8211

What life with Rottweiler Ambra &#8211 looks like

Rottweiler Ambra &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Rottweiler Ambra &#8211, answered.

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