How do I contact the shelter about Poldi?

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

Can I adopt Poldi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Neuwied 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 Poldi 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 Poldi 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 Tierheim Neuwied early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poldi 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.

Adopt Poldi

Male · Adult · 4 years

- Poldi, the big guy with a baby face - Poldi is almost 3 years old and is slowly maturing :-) We took in Poldi from another animal welfare association to give him better chances for rehoming at our rural animal shelter. He is a mix of different herd protection breeds and is looking for an experienced and knowledgeable home that is enthusiastic about Herdis and can also bring the necessary prerequisites. Initially, he shows some reserve towards strangers, but he is always friendly. With his trusted people, he is very familiar and likes to fool around with them. Poldi is currently in training because he initially showed some unusual behavior when meeting other dogs. Here, he has made great progress. Walks with dog encounters are now becoming more relaxed. Poldi gets along well with large, mature female dogs. Small dogs and other male dogs are not to his taste. The HSH mix is looking for a home with a large fenced-in property, preferably a farm or something similar. Small children should not live in the home, but teenagers do not pose a problem.

- Poldi, der große Typ mit dem Babyface - Poldi ist fast 3 Jahre alt und so langsam mal erwachsen :-) Wir übernahmen Poldi von einem anderen Tierschutzverein um ihm in unserem ländlich gelegenen Tierheim bessere Vermittlungschancen zu ermöglichen. Er ist ein Mix verschiedener Herdenschutz-Rassen und sucht ein entsprechend erfahrenes und sachkundiges Zuhause, das sich für Herdis begeistert und sie auch die notwendigen Grundvoraussetzungen mitbringt. Fremden Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich anfangs reserviert, doch stets freundlich. Mit seinen Bezugspersonen ist er sehr vertraut und blödelt mit diesen gerne auch mal rum. Poldi befindet sich zurzeit im Training, da er zu Beginn Auffälligkeiten in Begegnungen mit anderen Hunden zeigte. Hier hat er tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Spaziergänge mit Hundebegegnungen werden nun nach & nach entspannter. Poldi zeigt sich mit großen, gestandenen Hündinnen verträglich. Kleine Hunde und andere Rüden sind nicht nach seinem Geschmack. Der HSH-Mix sucht ein Zuhause mit großem eingezäuntem Grundstück, gerne auch einen Bauernhof o.ä. Kleinkinder sollten nicht im Zuhause leben, Teenager stellen jedoch kein Problem dar.

About Poldi

What life with Poldi looks like

Poldi is a extra-large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

An 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.
