How do I contact the shelter about Geroni?

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 Geroni on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Geroni 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 Geroni 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 Geroni 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 Geroni 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.

Geroni

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Our super snuggler Geroni found his permanent home in March 2018 as a second dog with a former dog grandma from the Schkortitzer animal shelter. ………………………………………………………………….. My name is Geroni. I am male, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and born around 2012. I am approximately 60 cm tall. I have been waiting since November 2017 for a home. This is what my caretakers say about me: Geroni is a foster dog from a friendly association. Geroni is a very friendly and accommodating dog looking for his fortune. He greets every two-legged being kindly and openly, is cuddly, and enjoys being agile. He also likes other animals and enjoys playing and doing exercise classes with you as well as their company in quiet situations. Then, being alone is no problem. He would like to move out as a second dog. Of course, he can also be rehomed as a single dog, and we can also imagine the princely life for him if the appropriate accommodation is ensured and he can maintain contact with four-legged friends on dog runs or in dog schools. A house with a garden would be nice, but is not a condition. Ideally, in a family with children under appropriate supervision and guidance by adults. Who would like to give the uncomplicated and friendly Geroni a chance at his own home?

Unser Superschmuser Geroni hat im März 2018 sein endgültiges Zuhause bei einer ehemaligen Hundedame aus dem Schkortitzer Tierheim als Zweithund gefunden. ………………………………………………………………….. Mein Name ist Geroni. Ich bin männlich, kastriert, gechipt, geimpft und circa 2012 geboren. Ich bin circa 60 cm groß. Ich warte seit November 2017 auf ein Zuhause Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Geroni ist ein Übernahmehund von enem befreundeten Verein. Geroni ist ein sehr freundlicher und verträglicher Hund, der sein Glück sucht. Er begegnet jedem Zweibeiner freundlichcccc und offen, ist verschmust und angenehm agil. Auch Artgenossen mag er und genießt Spiel und Sporteinheiten mit Ihnen ebenso wie deren Gesellschaft in ruhigen Situationen. Dann ist das Alleinbleiben kein Problem.Er würde gern als Zweithund ausziehen. Natürlich kann er auch in Einzelhaltung vermittelt werden, auch das Prinzendasein können wir uns für Ihn gut vorstellen, wenn die entsprechende Auslastung gewährleistet ist und er auf Hundewiesen oder in Hundeschulen den weiteren Kontakt zu vierbeinigen Freunden pflegen kann. Ein Haus mit Garten wär schön, ist aber nicht Bedingung.Gern in eine Familie mit Kindern unter entsprechender Aufsicht und Anleitung der Erwachsenen.Idealerweise schon etwas standfester. Wer möchte dem unkomplizierten und freundlichen Geroni eine Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause bieten?

About Geroni

What life with Geroni looks like

Geroni is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.
