Adopt Gecko (m)

Mixed Breed · Male

Gecko (born 1.10.18, approx. 55cm tall) and his siblings were found abandoned and exposed. Mada took them into the shelter, where they were transformed into proper and handsome puppies. Gecko is more of the quieter type. He neither wants to draw attention nor cause trouble and enjoys affection without demanding it. He is absolutely dog-friendly, very good-natured, and gets along well with the quiet demeanor, also getting along well with cats. Thus, a life as a second dog wouldn’t stand in his way. We are looking for a home with understanding people who have a heart for this wonderful male dog who has grown up in the shelter and hasn’t had much to learn yet. Maybe he finds a home with you?!?! Gecko has been vaccinated and dewormed multiple times in Romania, microchipped, treated for fleas, neutered, and will be released with a Mediterranean test and in possession of an EU passport.

Gecko (geb. 1.10.18, ca. 55cm groß) und seine Geschwister sind verlassen und ausgesetzt aufgefunden worden. Mada hat sie mit ins Shelter genommen und dort wurden sie zu propperen und bildhübschen Junghunden. Gecko ist eher einer von der ruhigeren Sorte. Will weder auffallen, noch stören und geniesst Zuwendung ohne sie einzufordern. Er ist absolut rudeltauglich, sehr gut verträglich und kommt mit der ruhigen Art auch sehr gut mit Katzen zurecht. Einem Leben als Zweithund stünde somit also nichts im Weg. Wir suchen ein verständnisvolles zuhause bei Menschen mit Herz für diesen tollen Rüden, der im Shelter aufgewachsen ist und noch nicht viel lernen durfte. Vielleicht findet ers bei Euch?!?! Gecko wird Rumänien mehrfach geimpft und entwurmt, gechipt, entfloht, kastriert und mit Mittelmeertest ,in Besitz eines EU-Passes verlassen. Email:

About Gecko (m)

What life with Gecko (m) looks like

Gecko (m) is a medium-sized 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 Gecko (m), answered.

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