How do I contact the shelter about Minette &#8211?

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 Minette &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Minette &#8211 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 Minette &#8211 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 Minette &#8211 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 Minette &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Minette &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

My name is Minette. I am female, vaccinated, microchipped, and born in 2021. I am about 30 cm tall. I have been waiting since May 2022 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Minette was taken from a friendly organization to give her a chance at intake in case of emergencies. She is compatible with fellow animals, living in a small group of dogs and enjoying each day with great enthusiasm. Loud and confident, Minette pounds the pavement when she meets fellow animals. On a leash, Minette is full speed ahead and the other end of the leash is already leading somewhere. For great quiet phases, the playful button has little time, she must first experience a lot… Minette therefore needs a proper upbringing in every life situation. Even during cuddles, she quickly becomes distant and pushy… so too an area where fine-tuning is required. Minette can still be forgiven nothing, her witty and lively nature is programmed for long-term happiness. She is entertaining and an intelligent whirlwind. We are looking forward to how Minette will develop and wish for her a home in a cheerful family with enthusiasm for dog training and many cuddle units. With lots of play, fun, and (de)stress. Who has the urge to conquer the world with Minette?. Gets along with other dogs. Walks well on a leash.

Mein Name ist Minette. Ich bin weiblich, geimpft, gechipt und 2021 geboren. Ich bin circa 30 cm hoch. Ich warte seit Mai 2022 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Minette haben wir von einer befreundeten Organisation übernommen, um dort Notfällen die Chance zur Aufnahme zu ermöglichen. Sie ist verträglich mit Artgenossen, lebt in einer kleinen Hundegruppe und genießt jeden Tag voller Elan. Lautstark und selbstbewusst haut die kleine Minette auf die Pauke, wenn sie auf Artgenossen trifft. Leinenführig heißt bei Minette Vollspeed vorne weg und das andere Leinenende sieht dann schon wo es hinführt. Für grossartige Ruhephasen hat der lustige Knopf wenig Zeit, sie muss erst mal ganz viel erleben… Die Powerknirpsin braucht also noch eine ordentliche Portin Erziehung in jeder Lebenslage. Auch beim Kuscheln wird sie schnell distanzlos und aufdringlich…also ebenfalls ein Gebiet wo noch Feinschliff erforderlich ist. Minette kann man trotzdem nichts übelnehmen, ihr witziges und quirlige Wesen ist auf Dauerhappy programmiert. Sie ist unterhaltsam und ein intelligenter Wirbelwind. Wir sind gespannt wie sich Minette entwickeln wird und wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause in einer fröhlichen Familie mit Begeisterung für Hundeausbildung und viele Kuscheleinheiten. Mit ganz viel Spiel, Spass und (Ent) Spannung. Wer hat Lust mit Minette Die Welt zu erobern?

About Minette &#8211

What life with Minette &#8211 looks like

Minette &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.

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.
