Garik (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 14 years

Here we would like to introduce you to our old Garik, who has been with us since 2011 and is now approximately 13 – 14 years old. Garik was brought to us by an employee from the Death Camp, who apparently had pity on him. He is a wonderful dog around people, always getting wild with joy when someone comes to see him, and it’s best if they have a treat or two. Our old boy would be very happy to have someone thinking about him.

Hier möchten wir Ihnen unseren alten Garik vorstellen, der schon seit 2011 bei uns ist und inzwischen ca. 13 – 14 Jahre alt ist. Garik wurde von einem Arbeiter aus dem Todeslager zu uns gebracht, der wohl Mitleid mit ihm hatte. Zu Menschen ist er ein wunderbarer Hund, der sich immer wie wild freut, wenn man zu ihm kommt und am besten noch ein Goodie dabei hat. Unser alter Bub würde sich über jemanden, der an ihn denkt, sehr freuen.

About Garik (m)

What life with Garik (m) looks like

Garik (m) is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Garik (m), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Garik (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 Garik (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Garik (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 Garik (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 Garik (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 Garik (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.
