Mischling Pocahontas

Mixed Breed · Male

Pocahontas is an intake from a friendly animal shelter, unfortunately, she was always overlooked at their foster home in Germany due to her initially reserved nature. So, the compatible Pummelfee came to us to increase her chances of being placed. She lives problemlessly with a male dog at our shelter and is a popular companion for both large and small walkers. She walks well on a leash, so she can be led by children in the company of adults despite her sturdy build. She can be accustomed to other animal species if done patiently and given time. She is initially shy but warms up. She prefers a certain distance and is always a bit cautious, she is not the classic cuddly dog. Perhaps this will change in her own home, often, such reserved characters develop in unexpected ways. She shows no aggression in any situation, but it can be challenging to calm her down, for example, during vet visits, where trust must be built up. Due to some blood disorders, Pocahontas must take life-long, affordable medication, which requires regular blood tests. For serious interest, we advise you in cooperation with our treating practice. Otherwise, Pocahontas is a easy-to-care-for and pleasant companion, her individual nature should be accepted and appreciated, then she will also win the hearts of her people.

Pocahontas ist eine Übernahme eines befreundeten Tierschutzvereins, leider wurde sie auf Grund Ihrer anfänglich zurückhaltenden Art auf deren Pflegestelle in Deutschland immer übersehen. So kam die verträgliche Pummelfee zu uns, um Ihre Vermittlungschancen zu erhöhen.Bei uns lebt sie problemlos mit einem Rüden zusammen und ist ein beliebter Hund bei großen und kleinen Gassigehern. Sie läuft tadellos an der Leine, so das sie trotz Ihrer kräftigen Statur auch von Kindern in Begleitung erwachsener Personen geführt werden kann. An andere Tierarten kann man sie sicher gewöhnen, wenn man Geduldig ist und ihr Zeit lässt. Sie ist anfänglich schüchtern, taut aber auf. Sie mag eine Grunddistanz und ist immer ein wenig auf Abstand bedacht, der klassische Kuschelhund ist sie nicht.Vielleicht ändert sich das in einem eigenen Haushalt, oft entwickeln sich gerade so zurückhaltende Charaktere dann noch einmal ganz anders als gedacht. Agressionen zeigt sie in keiner Situation, nur beispielsweise bei Tierarztbesuchen ist es schwer, sie zu bändigen, dort muss noch ordentlich Vertrauen aufgebaut werden. Auf Grund einiger Bluterkrankungen muss Pocahontas lebenslang Tabletten einnehmen, welche erschwinglich sind. Regelmäßige Blutkontrollen gehören auch dazu. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse beraten wir Sie in Zusammenarbeit mit unserer behandelnden Praxis. Ansonsten ist Pocahontas ein pflegeleichter und angenehmer Begleiter, ihre individuelle Art sollte man jedoch akzeptieren und zu schätzen wissen, dann wird auch sie ihre Menschen in ihr Herz lassen können….

About Mischling Pocahontas

What life with Mischling Pocahontas looks like

Mischling Pocahontas 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.

🇩🇪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 Mischling Pocahontas, answered.

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