Stacy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

Stacy is a small, loving, and sweet female dog who gets along well with other dogs and cats. Stacy arrived at an animal shelter as a found animal. Her health condition deteriorated significantly there. By October 2010, she could no longer move her hind legs and could only move forward with the help of her front paws. Extensive examinations revealed that Stacy has arthritis in her knee joints. This is very painful for the animal without medical care. To properly care for Stacy, she moved in with us on April 10, 2011. She receives special food and medication from us to improve her quality of life. Currently, she can walk well again and has even secured a spot on the sofa. It is noticeable that movement is now fun for her, as she is always at the front of the pack when the dog group runs through the garden and is almost the fastest.

Stacy ist eine kleine liebe und süße Hündin, die mit anderen Hunden und Katzen gut verträglich ist. Stacy kam als Fundtier in ein Tierheim. Dort verschlechterte sich ihr Gesundheitszustand immer mehr. Im Oktober 2010 konnte sie dann die Hinterläufe nicht mehr bewegen und zog sich nur mit Hilfe ihrer Vorderpfoten vorwärts. Umfangreiche Untersuchungen ergaben, dass Stacy Artrose in den Kniegelenken hat. Dies ist ohne medizinische Versorgung sehr schmerzhaft für die Tiere. Um Stacy gut versorgen zu können, zog sie am 10.04.2011 bei uns ein. Sie bekommt bei uns Spezialfutter und Medikamente, um ihre Lebensqualität zu verbessern. Zur Zeit kann sie schon wieder gut laufen und einen Platz auf dem Sofa hat sie sich auch schon gesichert. Es ist ihr anzumerken, dass ihr die Bewegungen wieder richtig Spaß machen, denn immer wenn die Hundemeute durch den Garten fegt ist Stacy ganz vorne mit dabei und fast die Schnellste.

About Stacy

What life with Stacy looks like

Stacy is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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 Stacy, answered.

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