How do I contact the shelter about Farina &#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 Farina &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Farina &#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 Farina &#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 Farina &#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 Farina &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Farina &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

Farina was taken in by us due to an upcoming relocation, and the remaining family members are no longer capable of caring for the chocolate schnauzer. Farina is an enthusiastic friend to humans, which she expresses with a joyful greeting. After her first happy dance, she quickly becomes a pleasant companion for both young and old. Farina lives with us alongside a small, older male dog and is basically compatible. Although she has a healthy self-confidence, a cautious approach should still be taken during the introduction to new fellow animals. If necessary, compatibility with other animals must be tested. A small discrepancy in her blood values causes her no problems and will be rechecked; if you are interested, we would be happy to advise you on this. She is always concerned with indoor cleanliness, a pleasant passenger, and can certainly stay alone for some time after getting used to it. Although she would always prefer to be included. Who would like to give our always cheerful chocolate schnauzer a sweet doggy life?

DE·Show original

Farina wurde von uns übernommen, da eine Auswanderung ansteht und die verbleibenden Familienangehörigen sind der Betreuung der Schokonase nicht mehr gewachsen. Farina ist ein ausgesprochener Menschenfreund, was sie mit Schmackes zur Begrüßung zum Ausdruck bringt. Nach dem ersten Freudentanz mutiert sie flott zum angenehmen Begleiter für Groß und Klein. Farina wohnt bei uns mit einem kleinen, älteren Rüden zusammen und ist grundlegend verträglich. Da sie ein gesundes Selbstbewusstsein besitzt, sollte beim Kennenlernen neuer Artgenossen trotzdem eine gesunde Umsichtigkeit an den Tag gelegt werden. Ob sie sich mit anderen Tieren vertragen könnte, muss bei Notwendigkeit getestet werden. Eine kleine Unstimmigkeit der Blutwerte macht ihr keinerlei Probleme, wird noch einmal geprüft und bei Interesse beraten wir dazu gern. Sie ist stets bemüht um Stubenreinheit, ein angenehmer Beifahrer und kann nach Eingewöhnung bestimmt einige Zeit allein bleiben. Obwohl sie am Allerliebsten immer mit von der Partie ist. Wer möchte unserem stets fröhlichen Schokonäschen ein süßes Hundeleben ermöglichen?

About Farina &#8211

What life with Farina &#8211 looks like

Farina &#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.

🇩🇪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.
