We don't know why the pretty little dog was left there on her own. Luckily, she was discovered and brought to safety. Curly is a Croatian Shepherd who not only stands out with her extraordinary curly coat and her big erect ears, but also with her very own personality. Typical of her breed, she initially encounters unknown people with a certain skepticism. She prefers to observe from a safe distance first and wants to decide for herself when to trust. However, once she has been given some time and has gotten to know her, she shows herself to be friendly and open. As a Croatian Shepherd, Curly brings with her the predispositions of an intelligent, attentive and hardworking herding dog. That's why we're looking for people who enjoy spending time together, offer her both physical and mental stimulation and at the same time understand that rest and relaxation are part of a dog's life. A home in a rather quiet, preferably rural or suburban environment would be especially nice for Curly. People with dog experience, patience and a good sense of her needs would be just the thing for her. Who will give our pretty curly mouse the time she needs to gain trust and a home where she can finally arrive? ❤️ .fusion-body .fusion-button Interested in an adoption?

Warum die hübsche Hündin dort auf sich allein gestellt war, wissen wir nicht. Zum Glück wurde sie entdeckt und in Sicherheit gebracht. Curly ist eine Kroatische Schäferhündin, die nicht nur mit ihrem außergewöhnlichen Lockenfell und ihren großen Stehohren auffällt, sondern auch mit ihrer ganz eigenen Persönlichkeit. Typisch für ihre Rasse begegnet sie unbekannten Menschen zunächst mit einer gewissen Skepsis. Sie beobachtet lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung und möchte selbst entscheiden, wann sie Vertrauen fasst. Hat man ihr jedoch etwas Zeit gegeben und sie kennengelernt, zeigt sie sich freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Als Kroatische Schäferhündin bringt Curly die Veranlagungen eines intelligenten, aufmerksamen und arbeitsfreudigen Hütehundes mit. Deshalb suchen wir für sie Menschen, die Freude an gemeinsamer Beschäftigung haben, ihr sowohl körperliche als auch geistige Auslastung bieten und gleichzeitig verstehen, dass auch Ruhe und Entspannung zum Hundealltag gehören. Ein Zuhause in einer eher ruhigen, möglichst ländlichen Umgebung oder am Stadtrand wäre für Curly besonders schön. Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, Geduld und einem guten Gespür für ihre Bedürfnisse wären genau das Richtige für sie. Wer schenkt unserer hübschen Lockenmaus die Zeit, die sie braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen, und ein Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf? ❤️ .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Curly

What life with Curly looks like

Curly is a small young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

A young 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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Curly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Curly?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Nordic Strays e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Curly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Curly if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. whether they will for Curly, what they require (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 Curly already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Nordic Strays e.V. lists Curly as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Nordic Strays e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Curly isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Curly 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.
