Adopt Paulita

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

General Name: Paulita Gender: female dog neutered: Spayed at the time of travel arrangements Born around: 2024 Size around: 65cm Residence: Shelter in Sighetu since May 2026 Sponsors: none Reserved: no Character Paulita is the loving mother of Paul and Paula and a true gentle giant. Despite her impressive size, she has a calm, warm nature and greets people openly and kindly. She is very people-oriented, enjoys attention, and delights in every pat. On the leash, Paulita already runs very well and shows herself to be pleasant and uncomplicated in everyday life. Currently, she is still quite slender and should gain some weight in her new home to regain her strength. She gets along well with other animals at the public animal shelter. Compatibility with cats can be tested. Background She came to the shelter with her puppies, Paul and Paula. We do not know much about her past. She likely came from the street or was abandoned there. Notes The parent animals are not known, so no information can be given about the breeds they contain.

Allgemein Name: Paulita Geschlecht: Hündin Kastriert: Bei Ausreise kastriert Geboren ca. : 2024 Größe ca. : 65cm Aufenthaltsort: Shelter in Sighetu seit Mai 2026 Paten: nein reserviert: nein Charakter Paulita ist die liebevolle Mutter von Paul und Paula und eine echte sanfte Riesin. Trotz ihrer beeindruckenden Größe hat sie ein ruhiges, herzliches Wesen und begegnet Menschen offen und freundlich. Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und freut sich über jede Streicheleinheit. An der Leine läuft Paulita bereits sehr gut und zeigt sich im Alltag angenehm und unkompliziert. Aktuell ist sie noch deutlich zu mager und sollte in ihrem neuen Zuhause noch etwas an Gewicht zulegen, damit sie wieder zu Kräften kommt. Mit Artgenossen im öffentlichen Tierheim verträgt sie sich gut. Eine Verträglichkeit mit Katzen kann getestet werden. Vergangenheit Sie kam mit ihren Welpen Paul und Paula ins Shelter. Über die Vergangenheit ist uns nichts bekannt. Vermutlich kommt sie von der Straße oder wurde dort ausgesetzt. Hinweise Die Elterntiere sind nicht bekannt, sodass zu den enthaltenen Rassen keine Auskunft gegeben werden kann.

About Paulita

What life with Paulita looks like

Paulita is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Paulita, answered.

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