Paoletto

Mixed Breed · Male

This beautiful male dog is believed to have been abandoned by a hunter. The dog was sighted over months, clearly on the hunt for food. Compassionate people provided him with food, which he always accepted gratefully. But he was very cautious, avoiding close contact with people. Finally, he was secured because the danger that something could happen to him was very high. The dog was not microchipped, there were no missing dog reports, and no owner could be found. At our partner shelter in Sassari, Paoletto, as he is called, is now well accommodated. He gets along well with the other dogs that live there. However, he is still very reserved around people. For Paoletto, we now wish for people who can convey the security he needs to overcome his fears and build trust. Would you like to take Paoletto into your family, include him in all family activities, and show him how wonderful life can be? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption brings not only great joy but also a lot of work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide shelter services throughout the country.

Dieser schöne Rüde ist vermutlich von einem Jäger ausgesetzt worden. Der Hund wurde über Monate immer wieder gesichtet, wenn er ganz offensichtlich auf Futtersuche war. Mitleidige Menschen stellten ihm etwas Futter hin, was er auch immer dankbar annahm. Aber er war sehr vorsichtig, vermied näheren Menschenkontakt. Schließlich gelang es nun, ihn zu sichern, denn die Gefahr, dass ihm noch etwas passieren könnte, war sehr groß.Der Hund war nicht gechippt, es gab keine Suchmeldungen. Ein Besitzer konnte nicht ausfindig gemacht werden. Bei unserer Partnerin in Sassari ist Paoletto, wie er genannt wurde, jetzt gut untergebracht. Mit den anderen Hunden, die dort leben, versteht er sich gut. Menschen gegenüber ist er nach wie vor noch sehr zurückhaltend.Für Paoletto wünschen wir uns nun Menschen, die ihm mit Einfühlungsvermögen und Geduld die Sicherheit vermitteln, die er braucht, um seine Ängste zu überwinden und Vertrauen zu fassen.Möchten Sie Paoletto in Ihre Familie aufnehmen, ihn an allen familiären Aktivitäten teilhaben lassen und ihm zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann?Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.

About Paoletto

What life with Paoletto looks like

Paoletto is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Paoletto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paoletto?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ProTier e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Paoletto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paoletto if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier 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 Paoletto 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 Paoletto 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 ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paoletto 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.
