Poli

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

The Sir before the name has really earned Poli. If there were a model dog, it would be Sir Poli. What should not deter you is the age. Sir Poli is 10 years old, I once knew a setter who lived to be 17, of course, this is no guarantee. As a rugged pensioner, one cannot yet describe Sir Poli as. Sir Poli is a wonderful male dog. He gets along with other fellow animals and even likes cats. Sir Poli can stay alone at home, knows the basic commands. Sir Poli has been living in Germany for a while, unfortunately, his owner has become very ill and can no longer take care of Sir Poli extensively. That is very sad. Sir Poli deserves to grow old with walks and other activities and lots of cuddles, because he enjoys them. Who wouldn't? Here, there is nothing negative to report. We are crossing our fingers for Sir Poli! May he find a loving home very soon.

Das Sir vor dem Namen hat sich Poli wirklich verdient. Wenn es einen Musterhund geben würde, wäre es Sir Poli. Was einen NICHT abschrecken sollte ist das Alter. Sir Poli ist 10 Jahre alt, ich selbst kannte mal einen Setter der 17 Jahre alt wurde, was natürlich keine Garantie sein soll. Als rüstigen Rentner kann man Sir Poli noch lange nicht beschreiben. Sir Poli ist ein wundervoller Rüde. Er verträgt sich mit anderen Artgenossen und sogar Katzen mag er. Sir Poli kann alleine zu Hause bleiben, beherrscht die Grundkommandos. Sir Poli lebt schon eine Weile in Deutschland, nur trauriger weise ist sein Herrchen sehr krank geworden und kann sich nicht mehr ausgiebig um Sir Poli kümmern. Das ist zu traurig. Sir Poli hat es verdient alt zu werden mit Spaziergängen und anderen Aktivitäten und viel Streicheleinheiten, denn diese holt er sich gerne ab. Wer auch nicht? Man kann hier nichts negatives Berichten. Wir drücken dem Sir Poli ganz fest die Daumen! Möge er ganz schnell ein liebevolles Zuhause finden.

About Poli

What life with Poli looks like

Poli is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 Poli, answered.

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