When you reach out, mention you saw Gnocchi (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gnocchi (m) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases.

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 Gnocchi (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 Gnocchi (m) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Adopt Gnocchi (m)

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

data-cycle-paused="true" data-cycle-prev="" data-cycle-next="" data-cycle-pager="" data-cycle-pager-template=" " data-cycle-speed="750" Gnocchi was born on the street in Romania in November 2019, ended up in a killing shelter, and was then taken to a private animal shelter. At seven months old, he was rehomed to Germany. Currently, he is a sturdy male dog measuring 60 cm and weighing 25 kg. His arrival in Germany didn't go well because he was completely overwhelmed by the situation in his new family and reacted with stress and aggression towards strangers. This left his family overwhelmed, and after just five days, he returned to a foster home where he has been for almost half a year. Gnocchi is now house-trained, leash-friendly, and gets along well with the mixed pack in the foster home, and he also remains problem-free when left alone at home with the pack for a few hours. In some situations, he is still a very insecure dog, but he explores his environment confidently and is not easily impressed by loud noises. He now trusts the people in his foster home. With strangers, he is still hesitant and very skeptical. Additionally, it is also difficult for him when strangers approach him, as he feels very threatened and responds by moving forward. At home, it was introduced that he goes into his crate when guests arrive, which he does willingly. Gnocchi can be a normal, playful, and lively young dog in a relaxed atmosphere. However, when he becomes overwhelmed, he may fall back into old behavioral patterns and find it hard to differentiate in the presence of familiar people. Gnocchi therefore needs very patient, confident, active, and problem-dog experienced people without children who understand his insecurities and can provide him with support and guidance. A confident second dog would also be beneficial, as he likes to orient himself towards a familiar dog. Gnocchi has learned a lot in the past months, but more training is needed for him to become more relaxed and calm. He is very trainable and attentive, and training with him is enjoyable. He is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and not yet neutered (currently has the spay chip) and is waiting in Nuremberg for a kind visitor who will treat him fairly. An in-depth getting-to-know-you period (multiple visits, walks, etc.) until the handover is essential to build trust with Gnocchi. Email:. Walks well on a leash.

data-cycle-paused="true" data-cycle-prev="" data-cycle-next="" data-cycle-pager="" data-cycle-pager-template=" " data-cycle-speed="750" Gnocchi ist im November 2019 in Rumänien auf der Straße geboren, in einer Tötungsstation gelandet und von dort in ein privates Tierheim gekommen. Mit 7 Monaten wurde er dann nach Deutschland vermittelt. Inzwischen ist er ein stattlicher Rüde von 60 cm und 25 kg. Sein Start hier in Deutschland war leider nicht gut, weil er mit der Situation in seiner neuen Familie komplett überfordert war und auf Stress mit Angstaggression reagierte. Damit war die Familie komplett überfordert und bereits nach 5 Tagen kam er zurück und ging auf eine Pflegestelle, wo er jetzt seit einem knappen halben Jahr ist. Gnocchi ist inzwischen stubenrein, leinenführig, kommt gut mit dem gemischten Rudel in der Pflegestelle zurecht und bleibt auch mit dem Rudel problemlos ein paar Stunden alleine zuhause. In manchen Situationen ist er noch ein sehr unsicherer Hund, seine Umwelt erkundet er allerdings selbstbewusst und ist auch von lauten Geräuschen nicht sehr beeindruckt. Seinen Menschen auf der Pflegestelle vertraut er mittlerweile. Im Kontakt mit fremden Menschen ist er noch handscheu und sehr skeptisch. Dazu kommt erschwerend, dass er es auch überhaupt nicht mag, wenn fremde Menschen auf ihn zugehen. Da fühlt er sich sehr schnell bedrängt und reagiert mit nach vorne gehen. Zuhause wurde daher eingeführt, dass er bei Besuch in seine Box geht, was er auch gerne tut. Gnocchi kann in entspannter Atmosphäre ein ganz normaler, lustiger und verspielter Junghund sein. Wenn es aber zu einer Überforderung kommt, kann es auch im Umgang mit den ihm vertrauten Menschen vorkommen, dass er in alte Verhaltensmuster fällt und es ihm dann schwerfällt in dem Moment zu differenzieren. Gnocchi braucht daher sehr geduldige, souveräne, aktive und problemhunderfahrene Menschen ohne Kinder, die um seine Unsicherheiten wissen und ihm Halt und Führung geben. Auch ein souveräner Zweithund wäre von Vorteil, da er sich gerne an einem ihm vertrauten Hund orientiert. Gnocchi hat schon viel gelernt in den letzten Monaten, aber es ist noch viel Training nötig, damit er gelassener und entspannter wird. Er ist sehr gelehrig und aufmerksam und das Training mit ihm macht viel Spaß. Er ist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und noch NICHT kastriert (hat aktuell den Kastrationschip) und wartet in Nü̈rnberg auf netten Besuch, der ihm gerecht wird. Ein ausführliches Kennenlernen (viele Besuche, Spaziergänge, etc.) bis zur Übergabe ist zwingend notwendig, um Vertrauen zu Gnocchi aufzubauen. Email:

About Gnocchi (m)

What life with Gnocchi (m) looks like

Gnocchi (m) is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

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.
