SHADOW

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Name: SHADOW Sex: Female Born: 09/2024 In the Ark since: 23.09.2026 Origin: Kill shelter Shoulder height: 47 cm. Weight: 15 kg. Neutered: yes Handicaps: no Compatible with dogs: yes Compatible with children: has not yet met children Vaccinated and microchipped: yes EU pet passport: yes Adoption fee: €530 Shadow is a sensitive young female dog that we only recently rescued from the kill shelter. Fortunately, she has settled in wonderfully since then and is ready to set off in search of her forever people. Shadow already shows a strong attachment to people and is especially calm when she is near her trusted caregivers. She has also already gotten to know life in a home, and she did so exemplarily. In general, Shadow is still a rather startled and reserved dog, but her curiosity is gaining a little more ground against her fear with each passing day. Walking on a leash is currently being practiced, and there is still room for improvement here, as Shadow tends to lunge at other dogs. She also shows hunting tendencies, which make it harder for her to orient herself to people in these situations. Shadow is generally well tolerated with dogs, but she can occasionally be prone to minor "squabbles." A confident first dog in the new home would certainly not be a problem with good guidance from her people. We are looking for a home for Shadow with people who will show her, with loving consistency, what life as a family dog looks like. She may move in with motivated first-time dog owners, provided that support from a dog trainer is guaranteed from the start, in order to address the leash reactivity and prevent problems from creeping into her training. A shared hobby, for example mantrailing or another form of scent work, would surely be great fun for Shadow, strengthen her self-confidence, and at the same time help her manage her hunting instincts.

Name: SHADOWGeschlecht: Hündin. Geboren: 09/2024In der Arche seit: 23.09.2026Herkunft: Tötungsstation Schulterhöhe: 47cm. Gewicht: 15kg. Kastriert: jaHandicaps: nein Verträglich mit Hunden: jaKindern: kennt Kinder bisher nicht Geimpft und gechipt: jaEU-Heimtierausweis: jaSchutzgebühr: 530€ Shadow ist eine sensible junge Hündin, die wir erst kürzlich aus der Tötungsstation gerettet haben. Mittlerweile hat sie sich zum Glück wunderbar eingelebt und ist bereit, sich auf die Suche nach ihren Für-immer-Menschen zu machen. Shadow zeigt sich bereits sehr menschenbezogen und kommt besonders in der Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen prima zur Ruhe. Das Leben im Haus durfte sie auch schon kennenlernen und hat das vorbildlich gemacht. Allgemein ist Shadow weiterhin eine eher schreckhafte und zurückhaltende Hündin, doch die Neugier gewinnt von Tag zu Tag ein bisschen mehr im Kampf gegen die Angst. Das an der Leine laufen wird aktuell geübt und hier besteht noch Übungsbedarf, zur Zeit pöbelt Shadow ihre Artgenossen nämlich gerne an. Auch zeigt sie jagdliche Tendenzen, die ihr die Orientierung am Menschen in diesen Situationen erschweren. Mit Hunden ist Shadow allgemein gut verträglich, sie kann aber auch mal zu kleineren „Zickereien“ neigen. Ein souveräner Ersthund im neuen Zuhause wäre bei guter Anleitung durch ihre Menschen sicher kein Problem. Für Shadow suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr mit liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie das Leben als Familienhund aussieht. Gerne darf sie zu motivierten Hundeanfängern ziehen, sofern die Begleitung durch einen Hundetrainer von Anfang an gewährleistet ist, um die Leinenpöbelei anzugehen und zu verhindern, dass sich Probleme in die Erziehung einschleichen. Ein gemeinsames Hobby, bspw. Mantrailing oder eine andere Form der Nasenarbeit, würde Shadow sicher großen Spaß machen, ihr Selbstbewusstsein stärken und gleichzeitig hilfreich im Umgang mit ihrer jagdlichen Veranlagung sein.

About SHADOW

What life with SHADOW looks like

SHADOW is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪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 SHADOW, answered.

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