Sad

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Sad arrived at the Romanian shelter in June 2016 because he was chasing chickens at his previous owner's home. As is often the case in Romania, the owner chose not to train him but instead simply abandoned him and got a new pet. Sad is a very dynamic, curious, friendly and lively dog, even though he is now one of our older dogs. He is very happy when someone enters his kennel and immediately claims it for himself. The order is then to cuddle and play. With his medium shoulder height, you can easily lose your balance during his enthusiastic greetings and bouncing around. Sad is looking for people who can provide him with physical and cognitive stimulation. The lively dog does not yet know any rules, so a loving and educational hand would be needed to guide him well in everyday life. We hope that this great dog can soon start a new exciting life and that we can find people who can meet his needs. Sad is fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, neutered, tested for Mediterranean diseases and has an EU pet passport for his new home.

Sad kam im Juni 2016 ins rumänische Shelter, weil er bei seinem früheren Besitzer die Hühner jagte. Wie in Rumänien oftmals ganz typisch wird nicht auf Erziehung gesetzt, sondern das Tier einfach ausgesetzt und ein neues angeschafft. Hundemann Sad hat ein sehr dynamisches, neugieriges, freundliches und aufgewecktes Wesen, auch wenn er nun schon zu unseren Oldie-Nasen zählt. Er freut sich sehr wenn ein Mensch den Zwinger betritt und nimmt diesen dann auch erst einmal für sich in Beschlag. Streicheln und rumtoben lautet dann die Devise. Mit seiner mittleren Schulterhöhe kann man bei seinen stürmischen Begrüßungen und seinem Rumspringen auch schon einmal leicht das Gleichgewicht verlieren. Sad sucht Menschen, die ihm körperliche und kognitive Auslastung bieten können. Noch kennt der quirlige Rüde keine Regeln, hier wäre also eine liebevolle erzieherische Hand nötig, um ihn gut im Alltag lenken zu können. Wir hoffen, dass dieser tolle Rüde ganz bald in ein aufregendes Leben starten darf und wir Menschen für ihn finden, die ihm gerecht werden können. Sad reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause.

About Sad

What life with Sad looks like

Sad is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Sad, answered.

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