How do I contact the shelter about Paulo?

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

Can I adopt Paulo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Paulo 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 Paulo 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paulo 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.

Paulo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Born in 2022, Gender: male, neutered: yes, Character: friendly, Size: approx. 43 cm, In shelter since: May 2023 Hello to the big wide world. I am Paulo and I landed here in the shelter all alone without my mommy. I have the good fortune to sometimes get to go into the house with one of the caretakers. Then I get to practice how to cuddle extensively. With full pride, I can say I am really good at it! As a puppy, I am curious and always on the lookout for new experiences. There is no way that boredom will set in, I promise. I am already very excited when the time finally comes for me to hop into the transport vehicle. Of course, I will miss some of the other puppies, but I am looking forward to my people and to them adopting me and showing me the world. There is so much to learn and discover that I can hardly wait for it to begin. At the start, it will probably not be easy, but with your love and patience, it will definitely work out. Can you imagine taking me in and giving me a chance at a great life? Then write my name on the interest form and maybe we will see each other very soon. Greetings, Paulo! If you are interested in Paulo, please fill out our interest form () or send us an email or a message on Facebook. Paulo is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs are neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and they have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship for Paulo has been taken over by Annika F., and she ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: 2022 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich Größe: ca. 43 cm Im Shelter seit: Mai 2023 Hallo in die Welt da draußen. Ich bin Paulo und ganz alleine ohne meine Mama hier im Shelter gelandet. Ich habe das Glück zwischendurch zu dem Pfleger ins Haus zu dürfen. Dann darf ich ausgiebig üben wie man kuschelt. Voller Stolz kann ich sagen, ich bin ganz toll darin! Welpentypisch bin ich neugierig und suche immer neue Möglichkeiten etwas zu erleben. Langeweile kommt da bestimmt nicht auf, versprochen. Ich bin schon ganz aufgeregt, wann es für mich endlich soweit ist und ich in den Transporter hüpfen darf. Klar werde ich einige der anderen Welpen vermissen, aber ich freue mich auf meine Menschen und darauf das sie mich adoptieren und mir die Welt zeigen werden. Es gibt so viel zu lernen und zu entdecken das ich es kaum erwarten kann das es los geht. Leicht wird das zu Beginn vermutlich nicht, aber mit Deiner Liebe und Geduld klappt das bestimmt. Kannst Du Dir vorstellen mich zu Dir zu holen und mir eine Chance auf ein tolles Leben zu geben? Dann schreib einfach meinen Namen in den Interessensbogen und vielleicht sehen wir uns dann schon ganz bald. Viele Grüße, Paulo! Wenn Sie Interesse an Paulo haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus ()oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Paulo ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Paulo hat Annika F. übernommen und sorgt so für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Paulo

What life with Paulo looks like

Paulo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
