Adopt Sky

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Hello, I am Sky, a 7-year-old Rottweiler lady with a relaxed temperament and a big weakness for cuddles, playtime, and probably the occasional snack too. It's said that I might be allowed to lose a bit of weight – I currently see myself a bit more generously, but with the right people, I'll definitely get there. I've lived my whole life in a family, know children, and get along very well with them. Due to my size and strength, however, children in my new home should be a bit older, around 10 years old. I am friendly, cuddly, and generally rather laid-back on the go. With other dogs, I am relaxed, although I don't necessarily like everyone – you have to be friendly, after all. I can be left alone for several hours without any problems and find car rides completely okay too. I know the basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and I reliably come when called. I've also had some dog training classes. Now to the point that's important: when it comes to food or things I "acquire," I sometimes don't take things too seriously. If something falls down or I find something, I don't want to give it back and would defend it. But with calm and fair exchanges, that works well, and I can be convinced. By the way, my passion isn't just for food: I also collect remote controls. To avoid me dictating the evening program, always have a good exchange ready. I am looking for people with dog experience who are clear, calm, and fair with me and who have a desire for a loyal companion who wants to cuddle and simply be a cozy part of the family. Name: Sky Number: 0 Gender: Female Born: ca. 01.05. Gets along with other dogs.

Hallo, ich bin Sky, eine 7-jährige Rottweiler-Dame mit entspannter Grundeinstellung und einer großen Schwäche für Kuscheln, Spielen und wahrscheinlich auch den einen oder anderen Snack zu viel. Man sagt, ich dürfte ruhig ein bisschen abspecken – ich sehe das aktuell noch etwas lockerer, aber mit den richtigen Menschen bekomme ich das bestimmt hin. Ich habe mein ganzes Leben in einer Familie gelebt, kenne Kinder und komme mit ihnen sehr gut klar. Wegen meiner Größe und Kraft sollten Kinder in meinem neuen Zuhause aber schon etwas älter sein, ungefähr ab 10 Jahren. Ich bin freundlich, verschmust und generell eher gelassen unterwegs. Mit anderen Hunden bin ich entspannt, auch wenn ich nicht jeden unbedingt mag – sympathisch muss man sich eben sein. Alleine bleiben kann ich problemlos für einige Stunden und Autofahren finde ich ebenfalls völlig okay. Ich kenne die Grundkommandos wie Sitz, Platz, Bleib und komme zuverlässig, wenn man mich ruft. Hundeschule hatte ich auch schon. Jetzt zum Punkt, der wichtig ist: Wenn es um Futter oder Dinge geht, die ich „erbeutet“ habe, verstehe ich manchmal weniger Spaß. Wenn etwas runterfällt oder ich etwas finde, möchte ich es ungern wieder hergeben und würde es auch verteidigen. Mit Ruhe und fairen Tauschgeschäften klappt das aber gut, ich lasse mich durchaus überzeugen. Übrigens beschränkt sich meine Leidenschaft nicht nur auf Futter: Fernbedienungen sammle ich ebenfalls gerne ein. Damit nicht am Ende noch ich das Abendprogramm bestimme, also besser immer ein gutes Tauschgeschäft parat haben. Aufgrund meines Alters tue ich mich mit dem Treppensteigen schwer. Mein zukünftiges Zuhause sollte also ebenerdig sein. Ich suche Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die klar, ruhig und fair mit mir umgehen und Lust auf eine loyale Begleiterin haben, die gern dabei ist, kuschelt und einfach ein gemütlicher Teil der Familie sein möchte. Name Sky Nummer H 182-26 Geschlecht Weiblich Geboren ca. 01.05.19 Im Tierheim seit 10.05.26 Kastriert Ja Verträglich mit Artgenossen Ja Kinderverträglich ab 10 Jahren Bleibt alleine Ja Rasse Rottweiler

About Sky

What life with Sky looks like

Sky is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. in Wunstorf.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sky if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sky 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 Sky 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 Wunstorf und Umgebung von 1934 e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sky 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.
