Shanty

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Cause incontinence. Infected with leishmaniasis. A clown, a cheeky one or a rascal would be exactly the right nicknames for me, because if you think that I have lost my joy of life due to my terrible past or my disabilities, then you are very much mistaken. Unfortunately, I did not have much luck in my past. I lived as a street dog in Hungary until one day I was hit by a car and simply left behind. Fortunately, Hungarian animal welfare workers found me and brought me to safety and to a veterinarian. Unfortunately, I had serious injuries and they tried to help me as best as they could with the means available. Afterwards, the animal lovers tried to find a good place for me in Germany, but unfortunately there were no interested parties for me. So I spent some months in a kennel in Hungary. Due to the hard ground in the kennel, I unfortunately got many additional painful wounds. However, these times are fortunately far behind me, because in January 2018 the animal shelter Herzsprung became aware of me and I was able to move there right away. I received many more examinations, intensive care and physiotherapy. In addition, I was equipped with a really cool dog wheelchair so that I can move again. Yay! The animal shelter Herzsprung has now become my home and I am doing really well these days. Every day I have a lot of fun with my two-leggers. We play together, cuddle wildly and explore nature happily. With my wheelchair I zoom around like a whirlwind, I like to dig for treasures or take a detour to the lake and splash around. My favorite toy is my Kong filled with great treats. I can occupy myself with it for hours - and playing with it can sometimes get quite wild. Otherwise, I'm always looking out for new adventures, planning funny mischief, making a little nonsense and surprising my two-leggers with some talent.

Inkontinenz verursachen. An Leishmaniose erkrankt. Pausenclown, Frechdachs oder Lümmel wären genau die richtigen Spitznamen für mich, denn wenn ihr denkt, dass ich durch meine schlimme Vergangenheit oder meine Handicaps meine Lebensfreude verloren habe, dann irrt ihr euch gewaltig. Leider hatte ich in meiner Vergangenheit nicht so viel Glück gehabt. Ich lebte als Straßenhund in Ungarn, bis ich eines Tages von einem Auto angefahren und einfach liegen gelassen wurde. Zum Glück fanden mich ungarische Tierschützer und brachten mich in Sicherheit und zu einem Tierarzt. Ich hatte bedauerlicherweise schwere Verletzungen und man versuchte mir, mit den Mitteln, die ihnen zur Verfügung standen, so gut es geht zu helfen. Anschließend versuchten die Tierfreunde ein gutes Plätzchen in Deutschland für mich zu finden, doch gab es bedauerlicherweise keine Interessenten für mich. So verbrachte ich einige Monate im Zwinger in Ungarn. Durch den harten Boden im Zwinger habe ich mir schmerzhafter Weise viele zusätzliche Wunden zugezogen. Doch diese Zeiten liegen zum Glück schon lange hinter mir, denn im Januar 2018 wurde das Tierheim Herzsprung auf mich aufmerksam und ich durfte auch gleich dorthin umziehen. Ich bekam viele weitere Untersuchungen, eine intensive Pflege und Physiotherapie. Zudem wurde ich mit einem richtig coolen Hunderolli ausgestattet, damit ich wieder mobil bin. Juhu! Das Tierheim Herzsprung ist jetzt zu meinem Zuhause geworden und mir geht es inzwischen echt klasse. Jeden Tag habe ich viel Freude mit meinen Zweibeinern. Wir toben zusammen, kuscheln wie wild miteinander und erkunden fröhlich die Natur. Mit meinem Rolli flitze ich wie ein Wirbelwind durch die Gegend, buddle gerne mal nach Schätzen oder mache einen Abstecher zum See und plansche eine Runde. Mein Lieblingsspielzeug ist mein Kong, gefüllt mit tollen Leckereien. Mit ihm kann ich mich stundenlang beschäftigen – und das Spiel mit ihm kann auch manchmal ziemlich wild werden. Ansonsten halte ich immer Ausschau nach neuen Abenteuern, plane lustigen Unfug, stelle ein wenig Blödsinn an und überrasche meine Zweibeiner mit so manchem Talent.

About Shanty

What life with Shanty looks like

Shanty is a senior mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Shanty far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shanty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shanty?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herzsprung handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shanty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shanty if I live in another country?
Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Herzsprung what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Shanty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Herzsprung directly what is included and what Shanty still needs.
What happens if Shanty 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 Herzsprung early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shanty 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.
