Paula

Mixed Breed · Female

Paula came to us from poor living conditions, living in very unsanitary conditions and also lacking a license. Fortunately, her positive nature and sunny disposition have helped her quickly settle into the shelter and she has already found a dog friend. She loves all people, regardless of size. She can be breed-typically quite stormy and temperamental. She is open, friendly, easily swayed and playful. She likes to run around in the dog park and in the runs, but her conditioning is not yet the best. Paula knows a few signals, but still pulls quite a bit on the leash. She is very eager to learn, motivated and people-oriented - all good conditions to become a well-educated, happy companion and family dog. For a

Paula kam aus schlechter Haltung zu uns, lebte in sehr unhygienischen Zuständen und eine Halteerlaubnis fehlte zudem. Durch ihre positive Art und ihren Sonnenscheincharakter hat sie sich zum Glück schnell im Tierheim eingelebt und bereits einen Hundefreund gefunden. Menschen findet sie alle toll, egal ob groß oder klein. Sie kann Rassetypisch aber auch mal ziemlich stürmisch und temperamentvoll sein. Sie zeigt sich aufgeschlossen, freundlich, bestechlich und verspielt. Auf dem Hundeplatz und in den Ausläufen flitzt sie gerne herum, ihre Kondition ist aber noch nicht die Beste. Paula kennt ein paar Signale, zieht aber stellenweise noch ziemlich an der Leine. Sie ist aber sehr lernbegierig, motiviert und menschenbezogen – alles gute Voraussetzung um ein vorbildlich erzogener, fröhlicher Begleit- und Familienhund zu werden. Für eine

About Paula

What life with Paula looks like

Paula is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Paula, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paula?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Reutlingen 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 — Tierschutzverein Reutlingen 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 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 Tierschutzverein Reutlingen 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.
