Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

My name is Fietje. I am male, vaccinated, microchipped, and born in 2020. I have been waiting since May 2021 for a new home. I am approximately 55 cm tall. My caretakers say about me: Fitje came to us with other dogs on the wrong path. As he did not have a good start in life, he was initially shy and fearful, but warms up very quickly and builds trust. Initially, he should still be properly secured, and experience in dealing with anxious dogs is advantageous. Otherwise, a visit to a good dog training class is naturally recommended, which is also advised for Fietje's adoption. As Fietje is still young, most of his insecurity can be taken away with good training work. He can then lead a normal and happy dog life and spare himself and others a life of stress. Fietje shows great compatibility with fellow animals and can also be gradually accustomed to other animals. He also resembles a blank slate and must learn from scratch what makes up a good dog: becoming a good car companion, house training, being left alone, leash manners, and so on. As he is very eager to learn and cuddly, and also enjoys playing with other dogs, there is nothing in the way of fun in the training work, and one can have a lot of fun with like-minded dog friends with Fietje. He would also surely enjoy being an office companion at a training school…. Gets along with other dogs.

Mein Name ist Fietje. Ich bin männlich, geimpft, gechipt und 2020 geboren. Ich warte seit Mai 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 55 cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Fitje kam mit weiteren Hunden auf Irrwegen zu uns. Da er keinen guten Start ins Leben hatte, ist er anfänglich schüchtern und ängstlich, taut aber sehr schnell auf und fasst Vertrauen. Anfänglich sollte er trotzdem entsprechend gesichert werden, Erfahrung im Umgang mit Angsthunden ist von Vorteil. Andernfalls sollte der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule selbstverständlich sein, was bei Fietjes Adoption sowieso empfohlen wird. Da Fietje noch jung ist, kann man ihm den Großteil an Unsicherheit mit einer guten Erziehungsarbeit nehmen. Er kann dann ein normales und glückliches Hundeleben führen und man erspart ihm sowie sich selbst ein Leben mit Stress. Fietje zeigt sich sehr gut verträglich mit Artgenossen und auch an andere Tiere kann man ihn sicher noch gewöhnen. Auch sonst gleicht er einem unbeschriebenen Blatt und muss von der Pike auf lernen, was zum Hundeeinmaleins gehört: ein guter Beifahrer im Auto werden, die Stubenreinheit, das Alleinbleiben, Leinenführigkeit und so weiter… Da er sehr lernwillig und verschmust ist und dazu noch gern mit anderen Hunden tobt, steht dem Spass bei der Erziehungsarbeit nichts im Weg und man kann viel Freude unter gleichgesinnten Hundefreunden mit Fietje haben. Auch an einer Ausbildungsstelle als Bürobegleithund hätte er garantiert Freude…

About Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211

What life with Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 looks like

Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 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 Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Schnauzermix Fietje &#8211 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.
