Pauli

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Pauli (ehemals Spyke) sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause ❤️ Pauli, geboren 2023, lebt nun schon seit einiger Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle und ist bereit, in sein eigenes Zuhause umzuziehen. Der hübsche Rüde hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Als ehemaliger Kettenhund bringt er noch einige Baustellen aus seiner Vergangenheit mit. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Konsequenz und Verständnis die Sicherheit geben, die er braucht. Zu seinen Themen gehört unter anderem Ressourcenverteidigung, beispielsweise bei Futter oder Spielzeug. Mit entsprechendem Training ist das jedoch gut in den Griff zu bekommen. Pauli ist ein ausgesprochen kluger Hund, lernt schnell und arbeitet gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut. Außerdem kennt er das Fahren mit Bus und Bahn, ist verspielt, liebt Leckerchen und kennt die Hundebox. Besonders traurig ist, dass ihm vermutlich bereits im Welpenalter Ohren und Rute auf äußerst unsachgemäße Weise kupiert wurden. Trotz dieser schlimmen Erfahrung hat Pauli sich seine Lebensfreude bewahrt. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 45 cm und einem Gewicht von 22 kg hat er eine angenehme Größe. Nun fehlt ihm nur noch das Wichtigste: Menschen, die ihm endlich zeigen, wie schön ein behütetes Hundeleben sein kann. Wir hoffen sehr, dass Pauli schon bald sein eigenes Zuhause findet. 🟢Interesse?

About Pauli

What life with Pauli looks like

Pauli is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Pauli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pauli?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Step by Paw 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 — Step by Paw 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 Step by Paw 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.
