Adopt Paula

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

The sassy Paula with the mouse teeth 🧠 Mentally, I’m not poor—but otherwise I am: here at the animal shelter, they take everything away from you. No personal food bowl, no toys of my own, and I even have to share my little hut. They’re totally nuts here—just because I defend my stuff! It’s obvious: if you actually own something, you’d naturally want to keep it for yourself. 🤩 So let’s be clear: I’ve got tons of gaps in my teeth, but mentally I’m super quick and sharp, and I remember a lot. Whatever I manage to get between my few remaining teeth, I don’t give up easily. I’d really prefer some peace while eating—otherwise, I’ll chase you off. I don’t have any other belongings, and I don’t have a home of my own. I am absolutely gifted when it comes to photoshopping myself onto other people’s pictures—and honestly, I think I look great! I truly believe I deserve at least a chance for someone to meet me and maybe even take me home after their visit. You’ll definitely have fun with me—and plenty to do! Maybe it’ll work out someday. Until then, I’ll keep trying to sneak onto other folks’ photos. 💚😎🐕 Best wishes, your Gelbbacke Paula. PROFILE Born: 18.01.2018 At the animal shelter since: 23.08.24 Breed: mixed breed Harzer Fuchs/Gelbbacke Sex: female, neutered Origin: Germany Good with cats? Unknown Good with children? No Suitable as a second dog?

Die flotte Paula mit den Mausezähnchen 🧠Geistig bin ich nicht arm, ansonsten schon: denn hier im Tierheim bekommt man ja alles abgenommen, keine eigene Futterschüssel, kein eigenes Spielzeug, selbst meine Hütte muss ich teilen.Die spinnen hier echt, nur weil ich meine Sachen verteidige, das ist doch klar, wenn man mal was besitzt, dass man dann das auch für sich behalten möchte.🤩Also halten wir fest: ich hab verdammt viele Zahnlücken, geistig bin ich echt schnell und fix und kann mir viel merken. Was ich einmal in meinen wenigen vorhandenen Zähnen habe, gebe ich nicht so gerne her, beim Essen hätte ich ganz gerne meine Ruhe, ansonsten jage ich euch weg, andere Besitztümer habe ich nicht, ein eigenes Zuhause habe ich nicht, ich bin absolut talentiert, was es betrifft mich auf Fotos anderer zu mogeln, und ich selbst finde mich wirklich gut und finde, dass ich es verdient habe mich wenigstens mal kennenzulernen um mich vielleicht mit zur Sicht nach Hause zu nehmen. Spaß hat man mit mir auf jeden Fall und auch ordentlich zu tun.Vielleicht klappts ja irgendwann. Bis dahin versuche ich weiter auf fremde Bilder zu kommen. 💚😎🐕Viele Grüße, eure Gelbbacke Paula.

About Paula

What life with Paula looks like

Paula is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) 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. 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 Paula, answered.

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