Adopt Paulina

Mixed Breed · Female

Paulina is a friendly, very beautiful and athletic female dog. The still very young lady is already well-trained, knows her basic commands and behaves exemplary on the leash. During off-leash time, some distraction is needed, as Paulina is easily hunting-motivated. However, she is well responsive. The intelligent girl constantly seeks the company of her human, is playfully in line with her age, cuddles and sometimes gives a kiss. Therefore, she is the ideal partner for an active, adventurous family and a great playmate for children. In the previous household, Paulina lives with a fellow animal and can also be left alone with him for some time.

Read original (de)

Paulina ist eine freundliche, sehr hübsche und sportliche Hündin. Die noch sehr junge Dame ist schon gut erzogen, beherrscht ihre Grundkommandos und geht vorbildlich an der Leine. Beim Freilauf ist etwas Ablenkung nötig, da Paulina leicht jagdlich motiviert ist. Sie ist jedoch gut abrufbar. Das kluge Mädchen sucht ständig die Nähe ihres Menschen, ist altersgemäß verspielt, schmust und gibt gerne mal ein Küsschen. Sie ist deshalb die ideale Partnerin für eine aktive, unternehmungslustige Familie und für Kinder eine super Spielkameradin.Im bisherigen Haushalt lebt Paulina mit einem Artgenossen zusammen und kann zusammen mit ihm auch einige Zeit alleine bleiben.

About Paulina

What life with Paulina looks like

Paulina is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paulina, answered.

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