How do I contact the shelter about Pauli?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. 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 — Kleiner Gnadenhof 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 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 Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. 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 · Female · Adult · 5 years

The poor Dachshund Opi lived together with cat Hana in bad conditions and was rescued with the help of the Veterinary Office. It seems that the poor, needy dog had never seen a vet before. His claws were so overgrown that he couldn't walk anymore. After a first visit to the vet and trimming his claws, the little puppy hopped around joyfully. In our group of dogs, Pauli feels right at home, even though the other dogs are a bit annoyed by his constant "training attempts." But we could observe that this is getting better day by day. Health-wise, the little man has many construction sites, and in the coming days, we need to take him back to the vet's for a heart ultrasound due to serious heart noises. His blood test will also be evaluated, which shows many abnormal values. Of course, we wish the beloved Opi that he can still spend a nice time with us, loved and well cared for, as every dog deserves. His great love has also been found here, he is a heart and soul with our foster dog Lilly.

Der arme Dackel Opi lebte gemeinsam mit Katze Hana in schlechten Verhältnissen und wurde mit Hilfe des Veterinäramtes dort rausgeholt. Einen Tierarzt hat der arme pflegebedürftige Hund wohl nie gesehen. Seine Krallen waren derart verwachsen, dass er nicht mehr laufen konnte. Nach einem ersten Tierarzt Besuch und dem Schneiden der Krallen hüpfte das winzige Hündchen fröhlich umher. In unserer Hundegruppe fühlt sich Pauli richtig wohl, auch wenn der die anderen Hundis ein wenig durch seine ständigen „Aufreitversuche“ nervt. Aber wir konnten beobachten, dass das von Tag zu Tag besser wird. Gesundheitlich hat der kleine Mann viele Baustellen und in den nächsten Tagen müssen wir aufgrund schwerer Herzgeräusche noch einmal mit ihm in die Tierarztpraxis zu einem Herzultraschall. Dann wird auch sein Blutbild ausgewertet, dass viele rote Werte anzeigt. Natürlich wünschen wir dem liebenswerten Opi, dass er noch eine schöne Zeit bei uns verbringen kann. Geliebt und gut versorgt, wie es jeder verdient hat. Seine große Liebe hat er auch bei uns gefunden, er ist ein Herz und eine Seele mit unserer Pflegehündin Lilly. Letschow, im Juli 2021

About Pauli

What life with Pauli looks like

Pauli is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

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.
