Sascha (m)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Sascha is approximately 3 years old and with about 30–35 cm a rather small male dog. However, his fate is unfortunately far from small. He currently lives in the municipal animal shelter of Botoșani in Romania – a huge shelter with over 800 dogs. Kennel after kennel, cold in winter, heat in summer. These are not good living conditions for any dog. Small dogs especially have a hard time there. With so many animals, constant supervision is hardly possible. They often cannot assert themselves well, avoid disputes and live daily with stress and uncertainty. Our German animal welfare colleagues met Sascha during their last visit on site. He shows himself to be compatible with other dogs and is a nice, quiet little fellow. He approaches strangers initially somewhat shyly but can be easily touched. With some time, patience and loving attention he will certainly quickly gain trust and open his heart. But we also know: the longer dogs have to live under such conditions, the more they lose their joie de vivre, their trust and hope. Therefore, for Sascha we wish nothing more than a home of our own. People who give him time to settle in, love him and show him how beautiful dog life can be. A soft bed. Walks. Security. Simply a life as every dog deserves. Who will give this charming little male the chance at a new beginning? SASCHA is castrated, multiple vaccinated, dewormed, chipped and of course in possession of an EU passport when he leaves.

Sascha ist etwa 3 Jahre alt und mit ca. 30–35 cm ein eher kleiner Rüde. Doch sein Schicksal ist leider alles andere als klein. Er lebt aktuell im städtischen Tierheim von Botoșani in Rumänien – einem riesigen Shelter mit über 800 Hunden. Zwinger an Zwinger, im Winter Kälte, im Sommer Hitze. Für keinen Hund sind das schöne Lebensumstände. Gerade kleine Hunde haben es dort besonders schwer. Bei so vielen Tieren ist eine ständige Aufsicht kaum möglich. Sie können sich oft nicht gut behaupten, gehen Streitigkeiten lieber aus dem Weg und leben täglich mit Stress und Unsicherheit. Unsere deutschen Tierschutzkollegen haben Sascha bei ihrem letzten Besuch vor Ort kennengelernt. Er zeigt sich verträglich mit anderen Hunden und ist ein lieber, ruhiger kleiner Kerl. Fremden Menschen begegnet er zunächst noch etwas schüchtern, lässt sich aber problemlos anfassen. Mit etwas Zeit, Geduld und liebevoller Zuwendung wird er sicherlich schnell Vertrauen fassen und sein Herz öffnen. Doch wir wissen auch: Je länger Hunde unter solchen Bedingungen leben müssen, desto mehr verlieren sie ihre Lebensfreude, ihr Vertrauen und ihre Hoffnung. Für Sascha wünschen wir uns deshalb nichts sehnlicher als ein eigenes Zuhause. Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, anzukommen, ihn lieben und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Ein weiches Körbchen. Spaziergänge. Sicherheit. Einfach ein Leben, wie es jeder Hund verdient hat. Wer schenkt diesem bezaubernden kleinen Rüden die Chance auf einen Neuanfang? SASCHA ist bei Ausreise kastriert, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises. ——————

About Sascha (m)

What life with Sascha (m) looks like

Sascha (m) is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Sascha (m), answered.

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