How do I contact the shelter about Pauli?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pauli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pauli if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Pauli 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 Pauli 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pauli 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.

Pauli

Mixed Breed · Unknown

After Pauli had already been with us several times before, it was said after his last stay due to straying: could you keep him, he’s no longer a buck. Well, what are we supposed to say – better nothing at all. In the meantime, Pauli has been checked, his testicles have been removed, and he is currently a popular walking companion for people of all ages. A small irregularity with his pancreas has shown up in his blood test, so he now gets preventive diet food. Due to his age, an ground-floor home is preferred, and a garden would be great. Sometimes we think his hearing is getting a bit faint. It could also be that he barks more as a form of "showing off," and a certain amount of indifference suits the little fellow just fine. Pauli is suitable as a great family dog, knows house life, is a good passenger, is leash-friendly, cuddly, and a model patient. Being alone is not one of his favorites; at the beginning, he will protest with a little chirp until he calms down. He just loves to be right in the middle and with his people. Who would like to help Pauli forget the disappointment that befell him and give him a comfortable retirement? He deserves it, to finally receive a reliable "Forever Home" as a gift…. Walks well on a leash.

DE·Show original

Nachdem Pauli schon oft bei uns zu Gast war, wurde nach seinem letzten Aufenthalt nach dem Streunen zu uns gesagt: könnt ihr behalten, kein Bock mehr. Tja, was sollen wir dazu sagen – bestenfalls lieber nix. Inzwischen ist Pauli durchgecheckt, seine Umfangsvermehrungen entfernt und er ist aktuell ein gefragter Gassihund bei Zweibeinern jeden Alters. Eine kleine Unregelmäßigkeit mit der Bauchspeicheldrüse hat sein Blutbild ergeben, seit dem bekommt er vorsorglich Diätfutter. Auf Grund seines Alters wird ein ebenerdiges Zuhause bevorzugt, ein Garten wäre klasse. Manchmal glauben wir, sein Gehör wird langsam leise. Es könnte aber auch sein, dass er Ansagen eher als „Schaumermal“ betrachtet, eine gewisse Ignoranz steht dem Männlein ja auch gut. Pauli ist als toller Familienhund geeignet, kennt das Leben im Haus, ist ein braver Beifahrer, ist leinenführig, verschmust und ein vorbildlicher Patient. Das Alleinbleiben zählt nicht zu seinen Favoriten, da wird zu Beginn ein Protestlied gezwitschert bis er sich beruhigt. Am liebsten ist er eben immer mittendrin und bei seinen Menschen. Wer möchte Pauli die große Enttäuschung, die ihm widerfahren ist, vergessen lassen und ihm ein enspanntes Rentnerleben ermöglichen? Er hätte es so verdient, endlich ein zuverlässiges „Für Immer Zuhause“ geschenkt zu bekommen…

About Pauli

What life with Pauli looks like

Pauli is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.
