... I had while making photos in the animal shelter. Who could concentrate on the other cats, which were to photograph, while little Tarzan is climbing arount on one knees. Tarzan is one of the lucky once that already has found a new home and only has to wait until he's ready to leave his mum.
I'm not the postman! Little Momchil could help you not receiving bills from the postman :o). No, he's just a baby and still in play mood. By the way, he's looking for a new home.
This is his brother Doni... he too is looking for a new home.
And this one is the third of the group... but don't fall in love with him, because he already seems to have found new owners. He was allowed to visit his new home for the first time.
Really hard conditions did have Amande...
Adonis and...
... Tina. They were kept in a cellar! I really know that there are many stupid people around, but that is too much to believe. How lucky they are, that they finally ended up in the animal shelter, were the staff now is looking for a real good home for them.
Did I ever mention that I love thick cats? Shakira is a real bundle of joy. She can't have enought of cuddling.
Sara ist ne aufgestellt und verspielte Hündin. Ich finde immer, dass diese Art Hund hälter aussieht als sie sind. Sara ist nämlich gerade mal zwei Jahre jung.
Sara is a young and playful dog. I alway find that dogs of her kind looks so old, but she's only two years old.
Roxy is a bit shy at the begin, but she's only half a year old. She loves playing and running around with Brandy.
And that cool guy is Brandy.
Marty is a dog that put a smile in my face. He's young, playful, sometimes a bit nuts but full of joy and life. I have no idea what kind of dogs is mixed up in him. Because of the big ears I thought maybe a bit of Podengo. But who cares, nature did right with him.
Linda had hard conditions too. She's for the second time in the animal shelter. Only in April/May she left it but the owners couldn't handle her young temperament. She's only 9 month old and has lot of noncence in her head... but hey, she's young! I hope so much for her that this time she will find her perfect owners.
Sweet Lexi: she's nosy, playful and greedy... a real Beagel, what shall I say more. Sweet isn't she?
And those guys here really don't have hard conditions. Because of their sweetness the brothers and sisters of Tarzan have already found new homes.
So don't look to close into those big eyes... it won't work... you won't get them for yourself :o).
Real hard conditions has this guy called Fuchur. Well, not that I think he had to stay for a long time in the animal shelter... for that he's too nice. He's such a sweet guy and a bit clumsy. No, I think the problem is the Mix of his breed: Welsh Corgi and St. Bernard. The head is enormous, the weight high... for such little legs. But if I had to choose one of todays dogs, I would have chosen him. He really remembers me to the dragon from the unending Story.
Merlin (above) and Dani (below)... are really sweet with each other. They only know each other from the shelter but it seems to be true love :o). By the way, Merlin is a girl... despit of her name.
Dieser süsse Glückspilz durfte bereits einen Tag nach dem Fototermin Schwanzwedelnd ausziehen.
This lucky girl was already allowed to move into her new home the day after the photoshooting.
No, this isn't my cat Noah... but he's got the same thoroughful view. He's name is Billi and he's looking for a new home together with...
... Tina.
Hard conditions will this boxer dog, named Brutus, have. Because more than "Sit" he hadn't learned from is owner before. He loves people that much, that he tries to just run over them (for licking their faces? I don't know and didn't want to give it a try). Nearly twice he managed to knock me down and I'm not really a flyweight. But I really have to say, that this guy is very kind and that he likes other dogs and that he did have an easy game with me, because I've got no dogs experiences.
A little boy had told my work mate, that this kind of dog is called "D'Ovalmatian" (from Ovaltine). Well I couldn't find a better description of a Dalmatian with brown dots... why not using it officially. Above you see Lucky and beneath Akyra.
And when we are already talking about drinks, let's talk about Amaretto :o). She's still shy but together with Merlin and Dani she feels fine. I'm sure that with the right people she soon will loose her shyness, but in the animal shelter there is so much barking, so much noise, so many people and that is probably too much for a sensitive dog. But be assured, dear Amaretto, everything will turn out great for you.
At the end, I really had hard conditions! You know, I'm really, really afraid of spiders and I'm a real girl about that. Because when I see a big spider somewhere in our house I can run away screaming as if a monster was trying to eat me. So I wasn't really amused when I heard that I should make pictures from tarantulas. But the girls and boys from the animal shelter were very kind with me and cleaned the windows from the terrarium very proper so that I was able to make the photos through them. I know, I'm a coward. Those animals may be fascinating but we won't become friends... sorry.
Übrigens, die Tiere brauchen nicht Euer Mitleid, denn sie sind nun in einem gutgeführten Tierheim, wo man für sie ein Zuhause sucht und zu 99 % auch findet. Leider gibt es noch viele, viele andere Tiere, die immer noch unter erschwerten Bedingungen leben und es "noch" nicht soweit geschafft haben.
So, that was it from a great day in the animal shelter. If you like more information about one of the shown pets, you found them on the homepage from Strubeli.
By the way, those animals don't need your pity, because they are now in a good place, where people care about them and are looking for good homes for them. There are a lot more pets, who aren't that lucky and who still live in places, where I even wouldn't put a spider in.
Habt ein tierisch gutes Wochenende!
I wish you a beastly good Weekend!
Alex

AntwortenLöschenJö wie herzig..... Alle sind ja zum Verknuddeln süss! Was heisst alle.... na ja, die Spinnen.... die könnte ich definitiv nicht verkunddeln. Ich glaube, die hätte ich nicht mal fotografieren können!
Hab ein schönes Wochenende und sei ganz lieb gegrüsst Yvonne
Liebe Alex, einmal mehr ein grosses Dankeschön an Dich, die Fotos sind einfach toll und die Texte bringen mich immer wieder zum schmunzeln :-)

Hallo Alex,
AntwortenLöschendanke für die Fotos und Berichte. So traurig es ist, daß Tiere im Tierheim landen, gut ist es zu lesen, daß es ein vorbildliches Tierheim ist.
Mir fehlt auch jegliches Verständnis dafür, wie manche Menschen mit Tieren umgehen.
Ich wünsche mir immer, wenn es einen Gott gibt, dann gleich ein paar kräftige Watschen für die schlechte Behandlung von Tieren.
Diese Vogelspinnen hätte ich liebend gerne ohne Scheibe fotografiert, die sind doch faszinierend.
LG
Brigitte
Hi Alex, wunderschöne Bilder von den Fellnasen, die das Herz berühren. Hoffentlich finden sie alle bald ein neues und auch schönes Zuhause. Ich halte auf jeden Fall fest die Daumen!
AntwortenLöschenGanz viel Spaß auf der Hochzeit,
lg Sandra
Hi Alex! Die sind ja alle zum knuddeln und "Gopen" - da hast du aber einen wunderbaren Beruf, wenn du jeden Tag mit so netten Gesellen umgeben bist! Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht dir Rita
AntwortenLöschenHallo Alex,
AntwortenLöschenwieder mal alles Haben-wollen-Bilder.
Shakira hätte ich auch genommen, die wäre aber erstmal auf Diät gesetzt worden.

Wir waren nur einen Tag in Zürich. Nach der langen Anreise an den Bodensee hatten wir keine Lust mehr auf Autofahren und sind mit dem Zug von Konstanz nach Zürich gefahren, daher waren wir etwas eingeschränkt mobil. ;-)
AntwortenLöschenBericht über Zürichs botanische Sehenswürdigkeiten folgt noch.
Schönen Sonntag!
Elke
Hallo Alex,
AntwortenLöschendu bist wirklich eine ganz tolle Tierfotografin. Beim Ansehen der Bilder geht einem richtig das Herz auf...ich hoffe, dass alle ein schönes, neues Zuhause bekommen werden. Spinnen kann ich auch nur durch die Glasscheibe fotografieren. Ich habe mal bei einer Ausstellung viele Bilder dieser "possierlichen" Tierchen machen können. Mein Sohn möchte so eine Vogelspinne als Haustier haben. Zum Glück hat er eine eigene Wohnung! :-))
LG Angelika
