How do I contact the shelter about Pauline?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pauline on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pauline if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Pauline 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 Pauline 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pauline and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Pauline

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

people-oriented, friendly Pauline seeks her forever home The little Pauline has already experienced a lot in her previous life. She came from Smeura in Romania and was rescued from a severe animal hoarding case with over 100 dogs. Despite this past, she has preserved her friendly nature and shows every day how much joy for life is in her. Currently, Pauline lives on a foster home in Germany and is developing wonderfully there. She is a small, loving, and curious female dog who likes to explore her surroundings and is open to people. She is very compatible with other dogs and enjoys their company. Unfortunately, Pauline also comes with a health project: she has bilateral patellar luxation. One side has already been successfully operated on, and the second operation is still to come, so that Pauline can soon live pain-free. However, she is not easily brought down by this – she is brave, lively, and simply captivating. For Pauline, we wish people with hearts who will give her time, security, and love and accompany her on her further journey. If you give the little fighter a chance, you will get a loyal companion who finally wants to arrive. If Pauline has touched your heart, we look forward to a message to the responsible matchmaker.

menschenbezogen, freundlich Pauline sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Die kleine Pauline hat in ihrem bisherigen Leben schon viel erlebt. Sie stammt aus der Smeura in Rumänien und wurde aus einem schlimmen Animal-Hoarding-Fall mit über 100 Hunden gerettet. Trotz dieser Vergangenheit hat sie sich ihr freundliches Wesen bewahrt und zeigt jeden Tag, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihr steckt. Inzwischen lebt Pauline auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland und entwickelt sich dort ganz toll. Sie ist eine kleine, liebe und neugierige Hündin, die gerne ihre Umgebung erkundet und offen auf Menschen zugeht. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie sehr verträglich und genießt ihre Gesellschaft. Leider bringt Pauline auch eine gesundheitliche Baustelle mit: Sie hat eine beidseitige Patellaluxation. Eine Seite wurde bereits erfolgreich operiert, die zweite Operation steht noch bevor, damit Pauline bald schmerzfrei durchs Leben gehen kann. Davon lässt sie sich jedoch kaum unterkriegen – sie ist tapfer, lebensfroh und einfach nur bezaubernd. Für Pauline wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Herz, die ihr Zeit, Geborgenheit und Liebe schenken und sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg begleiten möchten. Wer der kleinen Kämpferin eine Chance gibt, bekommt eine treue Begleiterin, die endlich ankommen möchte. In Paulines neuem Zuhause sollten aber keine Kinder wohnen. Auch sollten die Adoptanten über Hundeerfahrung verfügen. Wenn Pauline dein Herz berührt hat, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht an die zuständige Vermittlerin.

About Pauline

What life with Pauline looks like

Pauline is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

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.
