How do I contact the shelter about Mr. Hobbs (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 Mr. Hobbs (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mr. Hobbs (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 Mr. Hobbs (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 Mr. Hobbs (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 Mr. Hobbs (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.

Mr. Hobbs (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Unloved and unseen – forgotten??? This is our Mr. Hobbs, around 8-9 years old, about 50 cm tall. He must sit in the yard day in and day out. Human affection is something he only knows from stories; he hasn't even been able to enjoy walks. Currently, our animal protection colleagues on site describe him as a wonderful, still active oldie who is very happy about affection and being spoken to. He is now allowed to go for walks occasionally and walks well on a leash. BUT……Was that all?!?!?! How can it be that this nice oldie must die in the shelter??? Who will take him by the paw, give him the chance of a lifetime, and finally get him out of there??? He will certainly need some time to adjust and learn everything our dogs are supposed to learn, but if he has given his little doggy heart, he will surely become a faithful and easy-to-care-for companion who is simply grateful. Where is the person with the big heart??? Mr. Hobbs will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and will travel with a Snap test and EU Pass. He will be rehomed with V. All our dogs come to Pottenstein and also want to be picked up here. Contact: or on fb. All our dogs travel with official Trace papers and of course, we also have the Paragraph 11.

Ungeliebt und ungesehen – vergessen??? Das ist unser Mr. Hobbs, ca. 8/9 Jahre alt, um 50 cm groß. Er muss tagein, tagaus im Zwinger sitzen. Menschliche Zuwendung kennt er nur aus Erzählungen und Gassigänge durfte er noch nie geniessen. Aktuell sind Tierschutzkollegen vor Ort und beschreiben ihn als tollen, noch aktiven Oldie, der sich sehr über Zuwendung und Ansprache freut. Er darf jetzt ab und an Gassi gehen und läuft prima an der Leine. ABER……War das alles?!?!?! Es kann doch einfach nicht sein, dass dieser nette Oldie im Shelter sterben muss??? Wer nimmt in an der Pfote, gibt ihm die Chance seines Lebens und holt ihn da endlich raus??? Er wird sicherlich etwa Zeit brauchen anzukommen und alles zu lernen, was unsere Hunde so können sollen, aber wenn er sein kleines Hundeherz verschenkt hat, wird er bestimmt ein treuer und pflegeleichter Begleiter werden, der einfach nur dankbar ist. Wo ist der Mensch mit dem großen Herzen??? Mr. Hobbs wird kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit Snaptest und EU-Pass ausreisen. Er wird mit Vorkontrolle und Vertrag gegen eine Schutzgebühr über die Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt. Alle unsere Hunde kommen in Pottenstein an und möchten auch hier abgeholt werden. Kontakt: oder auf fb. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Tracespapieren und natürlich haben wir auch den Paragraph 11.

About Mr. Hobbs (m)

What life with Mr. Hobbs (m) looks like

Mr. Hobbs (m) is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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.
