Adopt Dexter (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Over 800 dogs live in this shelter. Over 800 lives, each one fighting for survival every day. Especially for sensitive dogs, life there is far from easy. Noise, stress, crowding, and far too little human affection are part of their daily lives. 😔 Of course, we can't introduce every single dog. But sometimes, there are dogs that the people on site just can't let go. Dexter is one of those dogs. ❤️ Currently, a German team is on site, visiting the dogs, spending time with them, and getting to know them better. And with Dexter, it was immediate. Everyone fell in love with him. 🥹 Dexter is estimated to be around 5 to 6 years old and is about 40-45 cm tall. He is an incredibly friendly, affectionate dog who gets along well with other dogs and simply adores people. Even strangers were able to pet him without any hesitation or suspicion. As soon as someone sits with him and gives him attention, Dexter enjoys every second. ❤️ He just loves that someone is there. That someone takes the time for him. And when the petting hands finally reach him, he prefers to simply stand there and probably thinks: "Yes, that's perfect." 🥰 These little moments mean a lot to him. It's hard to imagine how little attention a single dog in a shelter with over 800 dogs can actually receive. Before any travel arrangements, Dexter will of course be examined by a veterinarian. 🩺 What we wish for Dexter is a home full of love. People who appreciate his friendly and uncomplicated nature. People who show him that life has more to offer than bars, concrete, and the daily struggle for attention. ℹ️ Dexter is already vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and naturally in possession of an EU passport. He is not yet neutered at this age. 📍 Contact: Dexter will be rehomed through Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. – with ✅ The association of course has the §11 (Animal Protection Act). 🤝 Even after adoption, we will continue to support you – for both human and animal. 🚐 Dexter will travel to Germany and arrive in 91278 Pottenstein, where he will also be picked up. There is a secured premises available.

Über 800 Hunde leben in diesem Shelter. Über 800 Schicksale, die jeden Tag ums Überleben kämpfen. Besonders für sensible Hunde ist das Leben dort alles andere als leicht. Lärm, Stress, Enge und viel zu wenig menschliche Zuwendung gehören zum Alltag. 😔 Natürlich können wir nicht alle Hunde vorstellen. Aber manchmal gibt es Hunde, die die Menschen vor Ort einfach nicht mehr loslassen. DEXTER ist so ein Hund. ❤️ Aktuell ist wieder ein deutsches Team vor Ort, das die Hunde besucht, Zeit mit ihnen verbringt und sie besser kennenlernt. Und bei DEXTER war es sofort um alle geschehen. Alle haben sich in ihn verliebt. 🥹 DEXTER wird auf etwa 5 bis 6 Jahre geschätzt und ist ungefähr 40-45 cm groß. Er ist ein unglaublich freundlicher, lieber Hund, der sich mit anderen Hunden gut versteht und Menschen einfach toll findet. Selbst fremde Personen durfte er problemlos streicheln. Keine Skepsis, kein Misstrauen. Sobald sich jemand zu ihm setzt und ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, genießt DEXTER jede einzelne Sekunde. ❤️ Er freut sich einfach nur, dass jemand da ist. Dass sich jemand Zeit für ihn nimmt. Und wenn die streichelnden Hände einmal bei ihm angekommen sind, bleibt er am liebsten einfach stehen und denkt sich vermutlich: “Ja, genau so ist es perfekt.” 🥰 Diese kleinen Momente bedeuten ihm offensichtlich unglaublich viel. Dabei ist es kaum vorstellbar, wie wenig Aufmerksamkeit ein einzelner Hund in einem Shelter mit über 800 Hunden überhaupt bekommen kann. Vor einer möglichen Ausreise wird DEXTER selbstverständlich tierärztlich untersucht. 🩺 Was wir uns für DEXTER wünschen? Ein Zuhause voller Liebe. Menschen, die seine freundliche und unkomplizierte Art zu schätzen wissen. Menschen, die ihm zeigen, dass das Leben noch mehr bereithält als Gitter, Beton und den täglichen Kampf um Aufmerksamkeit. ℹ️ DEXTER ist bei Ausreise mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises. Altersentsprechend ist sie zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt noch nicht kastriert. 📍 Kontakt: DEXTER wird über die Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt – mit Vorkontrolle und Schutzvertrag. ✅ Der Verein verfügt selbstverständlich über den §11 (Tierschutzgesetz). 🤝 Auch nach der Adoption stehen wir euch weiterhin unterstützend zur Seite – für Mensch und Tier. 🚐 DEXTER reist nach Deutschland und kommt in 91278 Pottenstein an, wo er auch abgeholt werden möchte. Dort steht ein gesichertes Gelände zur Verfügung.

About Dexter (m)

What life with Dexter (m) looks like

Dexter (m) is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dexter (m), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dexter (m)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dexter (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dexter (m) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dexter (m) 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 Dexter (m) 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 Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dexter (m) 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.
