How do I contact the shelter about Matei (m)?

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 Matei (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matei (m) 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 Matei (m) 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 Matei (m) 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 Matei (m) 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.

Matei (m)

Mixed Breed · Male

This wonderful male dog is named MATEI. Born in 2022, he has lived in the private animal shelter of the ADOR association in Botoșani since his puppyhood. And although he is such a special dog, he has never been seen all these years. Perhaps because of his color. Perhaps because of his size. Perhaps simply because there are so many dogs in the shelter fighting for attention. Our German animal welfare colleague was on site again for several days – with the wish to find exactly these long-term dogs, the quiet souls. The dogs that never stand out, even though they have so much to offer. The pearls that spend their lives in shelters without ever getting a chance. And MATEI is exactly such a pearl. MATEI is an absolute dream dog. He carries himself with confidence. He is calm, gentle, and incredibly cuddly. When someone enters his pen – whether familiar or unfamiliar – he simply waits patiently for someone to come to him. For someone to finally see him. And as soon as someone strokes him, he leans into it, closes his eyes, and simply enjoys this moment of closeness. A sight that truly brings tears to the eyes. MATEI is about 50 cm shoulder height and would be ready at any time for his journey to happiness. We can also introduce him to people who have not had a dog before and who would like a more calm, balanced companion. Please help MATEI to finally be seen. He has waited his whole life. Maybe he is waiting exactly for you. Contact us if you are interested or share this post so that MATEI finally finds his family. MATEI is neutered, multi-vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and of course in possession of an EU passport. Contact: MATEI will be rehomed by Casa Katharina e.V. – with The association naturally has the §11 (Animal Welfare Act) in place. Even after adoption, we will continue to support you – for both human and animal. MATEI will travel to Germany and arrive in 91278 Pottenstein, where he is also to be picked up.

Dieser wunderbare Rüde heißt MATEI. Geboren wurde er 2022 und lebt seit seiner Welpenzeit im privaten Tierheim des Vereins ADOR in Botoșani. Und obwohl er so ein besonderer Hund ist, wurde er all die Jahre nie gesehen. Vielleicht wegen seiner Farbe. Vielleicht wegen seiner Größe. Vielleicht einfach, weil es im Tierheimalltag so viele Hunde gibt, die um Aufmerksamkeit kämpfen. Unsere deutsche Tierschutzkollegin war nun wieder einige Tage vor Ort – mit dem Wunsch, genau diese Langzeithunde zu finden. Die stillen Seelen. Die Hunde, die niemals auffallen, obwohl sie so viel zu geben haben. Die Perlen, die in Tierheimen ihr Leben verbringen, ohne jemals eine Chance zu bekommen. Und genau so eine Perle ist MATEI. MATEI ist ein absoluter Traumhund. Er ruht in sich. Er ist ruhig, sanft und unglaublich verschmust. Wenn jemand seinen Zwinger betritt – egal ob bekannt oder fremd – wartet er einfach geduldig darauf, dass man zu ihm kommt. Dass ihn endlich jemand sieht. Und sobald man ihn streichelt, lehnt er sich an einen, schließt die Augen und genießt einfach nur diesen Moment von Nähe. Ein Anblick, der einem wirklich die Tränen in die Augen treibt. MATEI hat etwa 50 cm Schulterhöhe und wäre jederzeit bereit für seine Reise ins Glück. Wir können ihn uns auch wunderbar bei Menschen vorstellen, die noch keinen Hund hatten und sich einen eher ruhigen, ausgeglichenen Begleiter wünschen. Bitte helft mit, dass MATEI endlich gesehen wird. Er hat sein ganzes Leben gewartet. Vielleicht wartet er genau auf euch. Meldet euch bei Interesse oder teilt diesen Beitrag, damit MATEI endlich seine Familie findet MATEI ist kastriert, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises. Kontakt: MATEI wird über die Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt – mit Vorkontrolle und Schutzvertrag. Der Verein verfügt selbstverständlich über den §11 (Tierschutzgesetz). Auch nach der Adoption stehen wir euch weiterhin unterstützend zur Seite – für Mensch und Tier. MATEI reist nach Deutschland und kommt in 91278 Pottenstein an, wo er auch abgeholt werden möchte. Dort steht ein gesichertes Gelände zur Verfügung

About Matei (m)

What life with Matei (m) looks like

Matei (m) 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.
