Katia

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Katia war noch ein kleiner Welpe, als sie 2013 im Namaco-Tierheim einzog. Seitdem lebt sie nun dort und aus einer einst offenen Hündin entwickelte sich Jahr für Jahr eine Hündin, die sich verschlossener und schüchterner gegenüber ihr fremden Menschen zeigt. Niemand scheint sich für Katia zu interessieren, denn die Anfragen in all den Jahren können wir an einer Hand abzählen. Katia möchten wir gern nur in ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause vermitteln, in dem es etwas weniger trubelig ist. So sind Geduld und auch Zeit zwei wichtige Faktoren, die es bei Katia zu beachten gilt. Wir sind uns sicher, dass auch diese wundervolle Hündin über ihren Schatten springen, auftauen und vertrauen wird. Ein weiches Bett, ein täglich gefüllter Napf und einen Lebensabend voller Liebe wünschen wir uns sehr für unsere Katia. Sie soll nicht weiter im Shelter alt werden und sterben müssen. Finden wir herzensgute Menschen, die Katias letzte Jahre noch einmal richtig schön werden lassen? Katia reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause.

About Katia

What life with Katia looks like

Katia is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Katia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance 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 Katia 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 Katia 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 Zweite Chance e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Katia 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.
