Joanna (w)

Mixed Breed · Female

Joanna, a beautiful female dog, born on 21.06.24, approximately 35 cm tall and weighing around 10 kg, arrived at the foster home in 91278 Pottenstein from a Romanian shelter some time ago. She has spent her entire life there and therefore, the first days were really scary for her. She didn't want any contact and was very insecure and stressed. This has changed quickly, because Joanna is generally open and funny. Unfortunately, men still scare her. But with treats, she can be bribed sometimes. She has integrated into the dog group without problems and is already forming bonds. Her foster mother has quickly joined her. Bathing, going out and wearing a harness are no longer a problem. She is now house-trained, if she is allowed to use the garden. Everything is still very new and exciting when she is out, so there is often no time for such "unimportant" things. She can already stay alone for a few hours and currently prefers to sleep downstairs in the living room, as the stairs are still a bit scary. For Joanna, we are looking for a dog-experienced home, with people who give her time to settle in and don't expect the perfect dog right away. She has given her heart away, she is sooo attached, funny and affectionate. A very submissive female dog, who can't stand loud words. These are not even necessary, because she listens well to her name, comes immediately when called and also goes nicely into the house when she has been outside. Joanna still has a lot to learn, she needs to conquer the world step by step and get used to the "life of luxury" gradually. But the mouse will master it and with the right person by her side, she will certainly become a great companion. We are looking for a rather quiet home, without children. Men are tolerated, but would not be their first choice as a point of reference. If there were a confident first dog, it would certainly be easier for her, because then she could learn a lot. Walks in the rural area are fun for her, there is a lot to sniff and running is also her thing, she gets stressed again when she is near the street, so it would be great if she could remain a country Pomeranian or slowly be introduced to city life. She is self-confident in the dog pack, she has also learned to assert herself in the shelter, so the first dog should be confident and not be deterred by initial "rumbling". If you trust her, she is also playful and playful in the pack and has a lot of fun with the others. If you have fallen in love, have dog experience and a lot of patience and love to give, don't have daily strangers coming and going at home and don't expect Joanna to jump onto your lap out of joy, then we are very happy about your visit. JOANNA has a short tail and therefore cannot be placed in Switzerland. JOANNA will be neutered, vaccinated, chipped, dewormed and placed with Snap4DTest and EU passport. She will be placed with a preliminary check and contract through the animal emergency shelter Casa Katharina e.V. Contact: or on fb. All our dogs travel with official Traces documents and of course we also have Paragraph 11.

auf Pflegestelle in 91278 Pottenstein Die hübsche Joanna, geb. 21.06.24, ca 35 cm und um 10 kg schwer, kam vor einiger Zeit aus einem rumänischen Shelter hier in der Pflegestelle an. Ihr ganzes Leben hat sie dort verbracht und deswegen waren die erste Tage richtig gruslig für sie. Sie wollte keinen Kontakt und war sehr unsicher und gestresst. Das hat sich schnell geändert, denn generell ist Joanna offen und lustig. Männer machen ihr leider nach wie vor Angst. Aber mit Leckerlies lässt sie sich schon manchmal bestechen. In die Hundegruppe hat sie sich problemlos eingefügt und knüpft bereits erste Bande. Ihre Pflegemama hat sie sich schnell angeschlossen. Baden, kämen und Geschirr anziehen, ist überhaupt kein Thema mehr. Sie ist mittlerweile stubenrein, wenn sie den Garten nutzen darf. Unterwegs ist alles noch sehr neu und aufregend, da bleibt für solche “unwichtigen” Dinge oft keine Zeit. Alleine bleibt sie schon problemlos ein paar Stündchen, schläft auch aktuell lieber unten im Wohnzimmer, da die Treppe noch etwas Angst macht. Für Joanna wünschen wir uns ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben anzukommen und nicht gleich den perfekten Hund erwarten. Hat sie ihr Herz verschenkt, ist sie sooo anhänglich, lustig und verschmust. Eine sehr unterwürfige Hündin, die mit lauten Worten gar nicht klar kommt. Diese sind bei ihr auch gar nicht nötig, denn sie hört gut auf ihren Namen, kommt sofort wenn man ruft und geht auch brav ins Haus, wenn sie draußen war. Joanna muss noch viel Lernen, weiter die Welt erobern und step by step ans “Wohlstandsleben” gewöhnt werden. Aber die Maus wird das meistern und mit dem richtigen Menschen an ihrer Seite sicherlich eine tolle Begleiterin werden. Wir wünschen uns ein eher ruhigeres zuhause, ohne Kinder. Männer werden toleriert, aber wären als Bezugsperson nicht ihre erste Wahl. Wenn es einen souveränen Ersthund gäbe, wäre es sicherlich um einiges leichter für sie, da sie sich dann Vieles noch abschauen könnte. Gassigänge im ländlichen Bereich machen ihr Spaß, da gibts viel zu schnüffeln und laufen ist auch voll ihr Ding, an Strassennähe wird sie eher wieder gestresst, deswegen wäre es toll, wenn sie eine Landpomeranze bleiben könnte bzw. langsam ans Stadtleben heran geführt werden kann. Im Hunderudel ist sie selbstbewusst, hat im Shelter auch gelernt sich durchzusetzen, somit sollte der Ersthund souverän sein und sich von anfänglichen “Gebrummel” nicht abschrecken lassen. Vertraut sie, ist sie auch im Rudel lustig und verspielt und das Flitzen mit den anderen macht ihr großen Spaß. Wenn Du Dich verliebt hast, Hundeerfahrung und viel Geduld und Liebe zu verschenken hast, daheim nicht tägl. Fremde aus- und eingehen und Du nicht erwartest, dass Dir Joanna vor Freude auf den Schoß hüpft, dann freuen wir uns sehr auf Deinen Besuch. JOANNA hat ein Stummelschwänzchen und kann deswegen nicht in die Schweiz vermittelt werden. JOANNA wird kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit Snap4DTest und EU-Pass vermittelt. Sie wird mit Vorkontrolle und Vertrag über die Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt. Kontakt: oder auf fb. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Tracespapieren und natürlich haben wir auch den Paragraph 11.

About Joanna (w)

What life with Joanna (w) looks like

Joanna (w) 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 Joanna (w), answered.

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