How do I contact the shelter about Mac?

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 Mac on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mac 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 Mac 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 Mac 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 Mac 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.

Mac

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Mac has been rehomed since May 2016 in a loving family who no longer want to give him up…. ……………………………………………………………………. I am male, neutered, microchipped and was born around 2013. I have been waiting for a new home since December 2015. I am about 35 cm tall. This is what my caregivers say about me: Mac, Ronald and Donald were handed over to us by the veterinary office. The officials managed to convince the owner that six dogs and another six cats were overwhelming for her. No medical care was possible, let alone prevention of breeding. We are happy together with the authority that the original claim, to get a dog back after fulfilling all requirements, was waived. Initially everyone was a bit shy, but they warmed up quickly. Mac is bold, he gives an balanced impression compared to the other Foxis. He is very manageable for a Fox terrier and not hyperactive, the heritage obviously still sleeps in Mac.

Mac ist seit Mai 2016 in eine liebe Familie vermittelt, die ihn nicht mehr hergeben will…. ……………………………………………………………………. Ich bin männlich, kastriert, gechipt und bin circa 2013 geboren. Ich warte seit Dezember 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 35 cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Mac,Ronald und Donald sind uns vom Veterinäramt überstellt worden. Die Beamten konnten die Besitzerin überzeugen, das die sechs Hunde und weitere sechs Katzen Sie überfordern. Keinerlei medizinische Versorgung war möglich, geschweige die Verhinderung der Vermehrung.Wir haben uns gemeinsam mit der Behörde gefreut, das auch auf den ursprünglichen Anspruch, nach Erfüllung aller Auflagen einen Hund zurückzuerhalten, verzichtet wurde. Alle waren anfänglich etwas schüchtern, tauten aber schnell auf. Mac ist keck, auf uns macht er einen ausgeglichenen Eindruck im Verhältnis zu den anderen Foxikollegen.Er ist für einen Foxterrier sehr gut händelbar und nicht überdreht, das Erbe schlummert natürlich trotzdem in Mac.

About Mac

What life with Mac looks like

Mac 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.
