Sabatina

Rottweiler · Female

Sabatina was, as her name suggests, found on a Saturday and brought to our cooperating animal shelter, the LIDA. After her quarantine period she was moved, and she is currently living with a dominant male dog. But Sabatina is not impressed by anything. She meets his dominant behavior with complete calm and even manages to make him a bit more sociable. Sabatina is simply first class! At no more than 50 cm in size, she is reminiscent of a Segugio, but she has the head of a small Rottweiler. We went for walks with her and it was simply lovely and relaxing. Sabatina walks wonderfully on the leash, showed herself to be cuddly and affectionate during breaks, understood small commands, and it seemed as if she had known us forever. We are looking for a family with dog experience for Sabatina; a small garden would also be nice. Children should be 10 years or older. We do not know whether Sabatina is familiar with living in a house. You should be aware that she still has a lot to learn. A social male first-time dog may live in her home, if desired. Children should be older, as we have not seen her in a busy household. Do you have questions about this beautiful female dog? Do you have a (foster) basket available? If so, we look forward to hearing from you. Attention: Special regulations apply to keeping dogs in Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg! All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated upon departure, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office. All dogs travel with TRACES.

Sabatina wurde, wie der Name schon sagt, an einem Samstag gefunden und in unser Kooperationstierheim, die LIDA gebracht. Nach der Quarantänezeit wurde sie verlegt und lebt im Moment mit einem dominanten Rüden zusammen. Aber Sabatina lässt sich durch nichts beeindrucken. Ganz gelassen begegnet sie seinem dominanten Verhalten und schafft es sogar, dass er auch etwas umgänglicher wird. Sabatina ist einfach nur Klasse! Mit ihrer Größe von höchstens 50 cm erinnert sich an einen Segugio, sie hat aber den Kopf eines kleinen Rottweiler. Wir sind mit ihr spazieren gegangen und es war einfach schön und entspannend. Sabatina geht super an der Leine, zeigte sich bei den Pausen verschmust und anhänglich, verstand kleine Kommandos und es schien, als würde sie uns schon ewig kennen. Wir suchen für Sabatina eine Familie mit Hundeerfahrung, schön wäre auch ein kleiner Garten. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre oder älter sein. Wir wissen nicht, ob Sabatina das Leben in einem Haus kennt. Sie sollten sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass sie einiges noch lernen muss. Gerne kann ein sozialer männlicher Ersthund in ihrem Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten schon älter sein, da wir sie nicht in einem trubeligen Haushalt sehen. Haben Sie Fragen zu der hübschen Hündin? Haben Sie ein (Pflege)-Körbchen frei? Dann freuen wir uns auf ihre Kontaktaufnahme. Achtung: Für Bayern, Hessen, NRW und Hamburg gelten besondere Vorschriften bei der Haltung! Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Alle Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Sabatina

What life with Sabatina looks like

Sabatina is a medium-sized adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Sabatina, answered.

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