Adopt Pauline

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Pauline came into our Romanian animal shelter over three years ago, after being picked up by animal rescuers next to a busy road, where she was sitting beside her deceased dog friend and wouldn’t leave his side. She has somehow been overlooked until now, but she still hopes for a miracle… Pauline is a very affectionate, delicate female dog and extremely clingy. She enjoys the company of people and just wants to be liked. She gets along well with other dogs after a bit of sympathy and will also frolic around with them, but she doesn’t particularly like cats. But the affection of people is always the most important to her. Of course, she still needs to learn the whole dog ABC, but the smart and eager-to-learn female dog will surely enjoy that. We wish the smart Pauline a loving family that will show her with lots of time, patience, and empathy how wonderful life can be.

Pauline kam vor über 3 Jahren in unser rumänisches Tierheim, nachdem sie von Tierschützern an einer stark befahrenen Straße aufgesammelt wurde, sie saß neben ihrem toten Hundefreund und wollte ihn nicht alleine lassen. Sie wurde bisher irgendwie übersehen, aber sie hofft immer noch auf ein Wunder… Pauline ist eine sehr liebevolle, zarte Hündin und ausgesprochen anhänglich. Sie genießt die Nähe der Menschen und möchte einfach nur gefallen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich nach Sympathie und tobt mit ihnen auch durch die Gegend, Katzen mag sie nicht besonders. Aber die Zuneigung der Menschen ist ihr immer das Wichtigste. Sie muss natürlich noch das ganze Hunde ABC lernen, aber da wird die schlaue und lernwillige Hündin ihre Freude haben. Wir wünschen uns für die smarte Pauline eine liebevolle Familie, die ihr mit viel Zeit, Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen zeigt, wie schön das Leben sein kann.

About Pauline

What life with Pauline looks like

Pauline is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenglück Bayern in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Pauline, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pauline?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenglück Bayern 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 — Pfotenglück Bayern 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 Pfotenglück Bayern early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pauline 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.
