Shy

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I am the shy lady Shy and was born in the Westerwald in 2018. I got my name from my original owners because I was very shy. In the Westerwald, in a very hot summer in 2020, the feed became scarce, and as a result, two sheep had to go. My owners put my companion Holly and me up for sale in classified ads. We both had the great fortune that at that time, there was space in the Hunsrück sheep herd at Schutzengel für Tiere. Petra Wintersohl was looking in classified ads for possibly slaughter-threatened sheep between Sauerland and Simmern and came across our ad. We sheep are very frugal, friendly herd animals. We can also be transported together in one trailer by several animals even though we don't know each other yet. The Schutzengel trailer had a partition to separate, but it was already occupied by the dwarf goat mom Carla with her babies Candy and Carlotta, who were saved from slaughter in Lower Saxony. On the way, Holly and I were the first to join. And in Dillenburg, Petra also picked up Heidschnucke mom Masha with her already large children Monja and Mucia. We got along well during the ride and could hardly believe our luck when we stepped out on the huge two-hectare meadow in Simmern. Our owner was also happy that we were allowed to continue living and donated the purchase price of a total of 200 € to Schutzengel für Tiere. That was a long time ago, and Holly and I still enjoy our life here in Simmern. The monthly boarding costs for a sheep now amount to 26.50 € in the summer and even 28 € in the winter. A sponsorship is possible from 15 € per month. Would you like to be my sponsor? Now fill out the sponsorship declaration.

Hallo, ich bin die Schnuckendame Shy und wurde 2018 im Westerwald geboren. Meinen Namen bekam ich von meinen ursprünglichen Besitzern, weil ich sehr scheu war. Im Westerwald wurde im sehr heißen Sommer 2020 das Futter arg knapp und deshalb mussten zwei Schafe gehen. Meine Besitzer boten meine Gefährtin Holly und mich auf Kleinanzeigen zum Kauf an. Wir beide hatten das Riesenglück, dass zu diesem Zeitpunkt gerade Platz in der Hunsrücker Schafherde von Schutzengel für Tiere war. Petra Wintersohl schaute deshalb in Kleinanzeigen nach möglicherweise von Schlachtung bedrohten Schafen zwischen Sauerland und Simmern und stieß auf unsere Verkaufsanzeige. Wir Schafe sind sehr genügsame, freundliche Herdentiere. Von uns kann man auch mit ruhigem Gewissen mehrere Tiere zusammen in einem Anhänger fahren, auch wenn wir uns noch nicht kennen. Der Schutzengel-Anhänger hatte zwar ein Abteil zum Abtrennen, aber das war schon besetzt von Zwergziegenmama Carla mit ihren Babys Candy und Carlotta, die in Niedersachsen vor der Schlachtung gerettet worden waren. Unterwegs stiegen also erst Holly und ich zu. Und in Dillenburg holte Petra dann auch noch die Heidschnuckenmama Masha mit ihren aber schon großen Kindern Monja und Mucia ab. Wir vertrugen uns alle gut während der Fahrt und konnten unser Glück kaum fassen, als wir in Simmern auf der riesigen zwei Hektar großen Wiese ausgestiegen waren. Auch unsere Besitzerin war glücklich, dass wir weiterleben durften und hat den Kaufpreis von insgesamt 200 € an Schutzengel für Tiere zurückgespendet. Das ist jetzt schon wieder lange her, Holly und ich genießen immer noch unser Leben hier in Simmern. Die monatlichen Pensionskosten für ein Schaf belaufen sich inzwischen auf 26,50 € im Sommer und sogar 28 € im Winter. Eine Patenschaft ist möglich ab 15 € im Monat.

About Shy

What life with Shy looks like

Shy is a medium-sized adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Shy 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 Shy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shy 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Shy 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. directly what is included and what Shy still needs.
What happens if Shy 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shy 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.
