Adopt Knollo

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Shortly after the presentation in the media portal Grimma and Up to date in Grimma/News, we can report: Knollo sends fresh greetings from his personal pond in his new home. It was the first one to be occupied, followed by garden bench, apartment, couch and the visitor's hole, but the stairs still seem scary to him going downwards, but his human is strong! His new housemates, six cats and a Collie mix dog, have warmly welcomed the explosive one, and hear and marvel, Knollo loves everyone, even the soft paws, with whom he will spend nights in bed butt to butt (verbatim owner information). For us Knollo is rehomed as of August 2015! And sends all best wishes to his former caretakers. ………………………………………… My name is Knollo and I have been waiting since August 2014 for a new home. This is what my caretakers say about me: Knollo came to us as an alleged stray dog. In addition to various hints about his previous owners, we were also informed that he had a fracture in his right front paw approximately 6-8 weeks before being "found and handed over," which was not treated. It all fit, because now there is a lump, so he got his new name with us, because we did not want to remember his past, not even with his old name. Unfortunately, his entire paw was broken, how it happened is a mystery to us. Due to the lack of treatment, the fracture is so old that nothing can be corrected anymore and Knollo will probably have to live with possible arthritis in his old age. Right now he has no complaints and gives everything he can when playing and roughhousing with his companion. Unfortunately, not only was money saved on medical care, but also on education. He walks quite nicely on a leash, but during dog encounters he still lets the king out. All training, he is diligent and eager to learn, in the right hands and with appropriate training he will be a great companion. Besides training, Knollo should also play and cuddle, he is a great cuddle monster. He quickly understood fetching, so it will be the same during training. Since he has quickly gotten rid of some bad habits with proper exercise here, we think he is suitable as a beginner dog, and we would like to place him with a female dog as a second pet. Even though Knollo sometimes does not find his brakes immediately when overly enthusiastic, he definitely has traits of a Labrador and also likes to be relaxed. Anyone who wants to steer through life with Knollo and enjoy his always cheerful mood in every way is welcome to step on the gas and come visit Knollo with us….. eMail:. Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

Kurz nach der Vorstellung im Medienportal Grimma und Up to date in Grimma/News können wir berichten: Knollo sendet frische Grüße aus seinem persönlichen Teich im neuen Heim. Der wurde als erstes eingenommen, es folgten Gartenbank, Wohnung, Couch und die Besucherritze, nur die Treppe ist ihm runterwärts noch unheimlich, aber Herrchen ist stark! Seine neuen Mitbewohner, sechs Katzen und eine Colliemixhündin haben die Knallschote liebevoll aufgenommen und man höre und staune, Knollo liebt alle, auch die Samtpfoten, mit denen er zukünftig Arsch an Arsch ( wortwörtliche Besitzerauskunft) die Nächte im Bett verbringt.Uns Knollo gilt ab dem August 2015 als vermittelt! Und sendet allerlliebste Grüße an seine ehemaligen Betreuer! ………………………………………… Mein Name ist Knollo und ich warte seit August 2014 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Knollo kam als angeblicher Fundhund zu uns. Neben diversen Hinweisen auf seine Vorbesitzer wurden wir auch darüber in Kenntnis gesetzt, das er circa 6-8 Wochen vor dem „Finden und Abgeben“ einen Bruch in der rechten Vorderpfote hatte, der nicht behandelt wurde. Stimmte alles, da prangt nun eine Knolle, so kam er bei uns zu seinem neuen Namen, denn an seine Vorgeschichte wollten wir nicht mehr erinnern, nicht mal mit dem alten Namen. Leider war seine gesamte Pfote gebrochen, wie das passieren konnte ist uns ein Rätsel. Vom Nichtbehandeln ist der Bruch so veraltet, dass nichts mehr gerichtet werden kann und Knollo wohl im Alter mit eventuellen Arthrosen leben muss. Im Moment hat er keine Beschwerden und gibt beim Spielen und Toben mit seiner Zwingergenossin alles, was die Beine hergeben. Leider wurde nicht nur an der medizinischen Betreuung gespart, auch bei der Erziehung muss aufgeholt werden. An der Leine läuft er schon recht manierlich, bei Hundebegegnungen lässt er noch den King raushängen. Alles Trainingssache, er ist fleissig und wissbegierig, in den richtigen Händen und mit entsprechender Ausbildung wird er ein toller Begleiter. Neben dem Üben sollte Knollo auch Spielen und Kuscheln, er ist ein Klasse Kuschelmonster. Das Apportieren hat er schnell begriffen, so wird es auch beim Üben sein. Da er bei uns mit entsprechender Bewegung sehr schnell einige Unarten abgelegt hat, denken wir, das er gut als Anfängerhund geeignet ist, gern würden wir ihn zu einer Hündin als Zweittier vermitteln. Auch wenn Knollo im Übereifer manchmal seine Bremse nicht sofort findet, hat er durchaus Züge des Labradors in sich und mag es auch mal gemütlich. Wer Lust und Laune hat, mit Knollo durchs Leben zu steuern und dabei seine stets fröhliche Laune in allen Zügen genießen möchte, kann gerne Gas geben und Knollo bei uns besuchen kommen….. eMail:

About Knollo

What life with Knollo looks like

Knollo 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Knollo, answered.

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