How do I contact the shelter about Brezel &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brezel &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Brezel &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Brezel &#8211 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 Brezel &#8211 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 Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brezel &#8211 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.

Brezel &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Brezel was handed over for foster care along with her siblings. They come from a breeding facility with far too many dogs in one place. This is unfortunately very evident with Brezel and her siblings. They have missed out on countless learning experiences that significantly set the litter back in development. With the exception of a few individuals, all are difficult to handle directly. Harnesses, collars, leashes, and training—everything is new and instills fear and panic. Additionally, the typical terrier-dachshund mix temperament comes to the fore, making them stubborn and resistant to handling. They persistently show their aversion and fear, clearly demonstrating what they do not want. Here, a great deal of patience, consistency, understanding, and dog experience is necessary to make up for these missed learning experiences. Empathy and the classic "aww, sweetie" are absolutely out of place, as is a chaotic large family with young children. If present, the parents must manage the interaction between dog and child accordingly, otherwise, disaster is programmed. Only confident first-time dog owners are suitable for the insecure Brezel. If he feels pressured, he tends to have panic reactions. Behaviorally, he is in the middle of the litter, never at the front, but definitely not at the back when something happens. We see the incredibly sensitive brown bear as a single dog with the possibility of 24/7 care in the coming period. Dog training classes and lots of playful training are indispensable. Experienced dog owners are sought for unafraid mixed breeds, also with knowledge in the field of anxiety dogs. With lots of love, work, and consistency, the curious panic-prince can become the sweet companion that can be discerned at first glance. For those with a lot of relationship work and who want to patiently explain to Brezel what true trust means, we look forward to meeting them. We are looking forward to knowledgeable interested parties for our little brown bear...

Brezel wurde samt Geschwistern zur pfleglichen Betreuung übergeben. Sie stammen aus einer Haltung mit viel zu vielen Hunden an einem Ort. Das zeigt sich leider sehr deutlich bei Brezel und seinen Geschwistern. Sie haben Unmengen an Lernerfahrung verpasst, die den Wurf in der Entwicklung ordentlich zurückwirft. Bis auf einzelne Tiere sind alle schwierig im direkten Handling. Gurt, Halsband, Leine und Leinelaufen, Tierarztuntersuchungen – alles ist Neuland und versetzt sie in Angst und Schrecken. Dabei kommt erschwerend der rassetypische Bums zum Vorschein, den Dackel und Terrier in sich vereinen. Hartnäckig wird auf der Unlust und der Angst beharrt und deutlich wird gezeigt, worauf man gerade keine Lust hat. Hier ist entsprechend viel Geduld, Konsequenz, Verständnis und Hundeerfahrung nötig, um diese fehlenden Lernerfahrungen auszugleichen. Mitleid und das klassische „Achwiesüß“ sind absolut fehl am Platz, ebenso die Großfamilie mit viel Trubel und Kleinkindern. Wenn vorhanden, dann müssen die Eltern das Zusammenspiel von Hund und Kind entsprechend managen, andernfalls ist das Unglück vorprogrammiert. Nur souveräne Ersthunde kommen für den unsicheren Brezel in Frage. Fühlt er sich bedrängt, neigt er zu Panikreaktionen. Charakterlich bewegt er sich im Mittelfeld des Wurfs, nie ganz vorn dran, aber keinesfalls der hintere Platz, wenn irgendwo was los ist. Wir sehen das unglaublich sensible Braunbärchen als Einzelhund mit der Möglichkeit zur 24/7 Betreuung in der kommenden Zeit. Hundeschule und viel spielerisches Training sind unerlässlich. Gesucht werden erfahrene Hundehalter für unerschrockene Rassemixe, auch mit Kenntnissen im Angsthundebereich. Mit viel Liebe, Arbeit und Konsequenz kann aus dem neugierigen Panikprinz der sweete Begleiter werden, den man auf den ersten Blick erahnen kann. Wer Lust auf richtig viel Beziehungsarbeit hat und Brezel geduldig erklären möchte, was wirkliches Vertrauen bedeutet, bekommt sein Date mit ihm. Wir freuen uns auf sachkundige Interessenten für unseren kleinen Braunbär…

About Brezel &#8211

What life with Brezel &#8211 looks like

Brezel &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.
