Paddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Name: Paddy Location: Poland, Bełchatów Sex: male, neutered Breed: mixed breed Age: approx. 2019 Size: approx. 65 cm The handsome Paddy arrived at the animal shelter in May 2021 together with his brother. The two boys were quite overweight, but Paddy has since lost weight. In a home of his own, where a lot is done with him, the remaining pounds will surely come off quickly too. Paddy is looking for a place with active people, because he is an active dog who naturally needs appropriate exercise and stimulation. They should be steady on their feet, since Paddy can walk on a leash, but he probably still needs a bit of practice. Paddy no longer got along as well with his brother, so he now lives in the kennel with a female dog, and that works well. But what matters most to him are people who have time for him and, after the day's "work," also feel like cuddling and snuggling with him. Of course, Paddy is vaccinated and microchipped.

Name: Paddy Aufenthalt: Polen, Belchatow Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Rasse: Mischling Alter: * ca. 2019 Größe: ca. 65 cm Der hübsche Paddy kam schon im Mai 2021 mit seinem Bruder ins Tierheim. Die Jungs hatten viel Übergewicht, inzwischen hat Paddy aber schon abgenommen. In einem eigenen Zuhause, wo viel mit ihm unternommen wird, purzeln auch die restlichen Pfunde sicher schnell. Paddy sucht einen Platz bei aktiven Menschen, denn er ist ein aktiver Hund, der natürlich auch entsprechende Auslastung benötigt. Standfest sollten sie sein, denn Paddy kann zwar an der Leine laufen, hier ist aber vermutlich noch ein bisschen Übung nötig. Mit seinem Bruder hat Paddy sich nicht mehr so gut verstanden, deshalb lebt er jetzt mit einer Hündin zusammen im Zwinger und das funktioniert gut. Aber am wichtigsten sind ihm Menschen, die Zeit für ihn haben und nach getaner "Arbeit" auch Lust dazu haben mit ihm zu kuscheln und zu schmusen. Selbstverständlich ist Paddy geimpft und gechipt.

About Paddy

What life with Paddy looks like

Paddy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paddy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Paddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paddy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe über Grenzen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Paddy 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 Paddy 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 Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paddy 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.
