Sad story: 13-year-old Amila is urgently looking for a new home!

Things are particularly moving at the moment in the animal shelters in the Märkischer Kreis. In one of the most heartbreaking stories, 13-year-old dog Amila is urgently looking for a new home. Her owner, who for many years viewed her not just as a pet but as a member of the family, had to go into a nursing home. And now the loving and open-minded dog is sitting in the animal shelter's kennel and has lost the familiar home she has known for so long. Amila is used to being near her people around the clock and suffers greatly from the sudden loneliness, reports lokaldirekt.de.

Amila weighs 16 kilos, is female and neutered. She is particularly cuddly and urgently needs someone who understands her grief and can take good care of her due to her health problems. She currently has to take a tablet every day to support her heart. The risk of having new epileptic seizures also poses particular challenges. Due to the constant stress, the animal shelter is having difficulty carrying out further examinations, which is why it is particularly important that she finds a loving home soon.

A place for Amila

The Dornbusch animal shelter is desperately looking for a final home or foster home for Amila. She is not a dog who likes to live with other dogs - she would much rather be the "lone princess" in her new home. A placement should therefore take place in a cat and dog-free environment so that Amila can feel comfortable. In order to create a new place for Amila, interested parties have to consider a few things. The costs for adopting an animal shelter dog are usually between 50 and 350 euros, depending on the age and characteristics of the animal, describes tierschutzliga.de.

Especially with older dogs like Amila, it is important that the potential new owners can respond sensitively to their special needs. A personal conversation and preliminary inspections in the new home are standard. It is also very important not to leave the dog alone for more than six hours. For an active home, the Animal Welfare League also has special requirements for the garden fence in terms of height and quality. Amila absolutely needs the necessary care and understanding in her new home.
