Paulchen

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Paulchen is already elderly and a particularly needy dog. He can no longer walk well and isn't entirely in top health for other reasons as well. However, he receives excellent veterinary care. The way his tongue hangs out has to do with the fact that he doesn't have many teeth left either. Despite this, he remains full of life, loves to wander around even though he can’t walk as well anymore, and has a very sweet, gentle nature. Paulchen does, however, require some care. In the meantime, he’s become one of the favorites at the animal shelter. He can no longer climb stairs, so a garden—though not necessarily a large one—would be ideal for the sweet Paulchen, but it’s not a requirement. We’re looking for people who are willing to make his final days as comfortable and joyful as possible.

DE·Show original

Paulchen ist bereits älter und eine besonders arme Socke. Er kann nicht mehr gut gehen und ist auch sonst gesundheitsbedingt nicht ganz auf der Höhe. Er ist aber tierärztlich gut versorgt. Die heraushängende Zunge hat damit zu tun, dass er auch schon wenig Zähne hat. Er ist aber noch lebensfroh, läuft trotzdem er nicht mehr so gut gehen kann, gerne herum und hat einen ganz lieben, sanften Charakter. Paulchen braucht allerdings Pflege. Mittlerweile ist er zu einem der Lieblinge im Tierheim geworden. Er kann nicht mehr Treppen steigen, daher wäre für das süße Paulchen ein Garten, auch wenn er nicht groß ist, ideal, aber nicht Voraussetzung. Wir suchen für ihn Leute, die bereit sind, ihm seine letzte Zeit schön zu gestalten.

About Paulchen

What life with Paulchen looks like

Paulchen is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Brunn am Gebirge in Brunn am Gebirge.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paulchen, answered.

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