How do I contact the shelter about Junior?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Junior on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Junior if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Junior 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 Junior 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Junior 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.

Junior

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Born: approx. 2020/2021 Breed: German Shepherd mix (approx. 60 cm) Compatibility: With female dogs, probably yes; with male dogs, no; cats: Unknown (we rather think no). Current location: Animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Reason for surrender: Found dog Our dear male dog is an active and attentive companion who immediately wins people over with his friendly nature. He walks well on the leash and likes to orient himself toward his human—attentive, interested, and always eager to do everything right. When encountering other male dogs on the leash, there’s still room for improvement, as he can pull quite strongly then. However, he can be easily called back from such situations. Long walks are among his absolute favorite activities. He thoroughly enjoys physical exercise, exploring his surroundings, and spending quality time together in nature. In doing so, he shows himself to be lively and curious without ever being frantic or restless. For his future home, he would like a single-dog living arrangement where he can be the center of attention and have his trusted person(s) all to himself. With the right guidance and loving consistency, he will become a loyal, affectionate companion who brings great joy to his human. Anyone looking for an active dog who loves being outdoors and at the same time impresses with his attentive nature will find in him a wonderful lifelong partner.

Geboren: ca. 2020/2021 Rasse: Schäferhund-Mischling (ca. 60 cm) Verträglichkeit: Mit Hündinnen eher ja, Rüden nein; Katzen: Nicht bekannt (wir denken eher nein). Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Unser lieber Rüde ist ein aktiver und aufmerksamer Begleiter, der mit seiner freundlichen Art sofort begeistert. Er läuft gut an der Leine und orientiert sich dabei gerne an seinem Menschen – aufmerksam, interessiert und stets bemüht, alles richtig zu machen. Bei Rüden Begegnungen an der Leine sollte noch gearbeitet werden, denn dann kann er ordentlich ziehen. Man kann ihn aber gut aus dieser Situation abrufen. Ausgedehnte Spaziergänge gehören zu seinen absoluten Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Er genießt Bewegung, das Erkunden der Umgebung und gemeinsame Zeit in der Natur in vollen Zügen. Dabei zeigt er sich lebhaft und neugierig, ohne dabei hektisch zu sein. Für sein zukünftiges Zuhause wünscht er sich einen Einzelplatz , an dem er ganz im Mittelpunkt stehen darf und seine Bezugsperson(en) für sich hat. Mit der richtigen Führung und liebevoller Konsequenz wird er ein treuer, anhänglicher Gefährte, der seinem Menschen viel Freude bereitet. Wer einen aktiven Hund sucht, der gerne draußen unterwegs ist und gleichzeitig durch seine aufmerksame Art überzeugt, wird in ihm einen wunderbaren Partner fürs Leben finden.

About Junior

What life with Junior looks like

Junior is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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.
