How do I contact the shelter about Pauli?

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

Can I adopt Pauli if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Pauli 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 Pauli 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pauli 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.

Pauli

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Pauli is a smart, extremely loyal and loving dog - when he is in the right environment. Once he has gained trust in his caregivers, he is an absolute cuddle bear. He likes to learn, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands and gets along great with other dogs. Why is Pauli looking for a new home? Pauli currently lives in a shared housing project with a two-year-old toddler. This constant commotion, unpredictable noises and the constant dynamics overwhelm him greatly. He is permanently stressed and overstimulated, which unfortunately has already led to displacement behaviors due to sheer necessity. He urgently needs an environment where he can breathe again. A low-stimulation, quiet home (preferably rural or with a garden). Confident, patient people who give him security and clear structures. No small children and no hectic urban environment. Who gives this great, but insecure fellow the chance to finally calm down? If interested, please contact the current owners directly:

🐾🐾 VERMITTLUNGSHILFE 🐾🐾 Die jetzigen Halter haben unseren Verein um Hilfe gebeten, für Pauli ein neues Zuhause zu suchen. Er wurde vorher nicht über Pfötchenretter vermittelt, jedoch helfen wir natürlich gern. Auch in Deutschland gibt es Notfellchen, die unsere Unterstützung benötigen. Kastriert: Kastrationschip (seit Juli 2026) Rasse: Mischling (ca. 50 cm, 12 kg) Verträglichkeit: Gut verträglich mit Artgenossen. Herkunft: Rumänischer Mischling (mit wenigen Reizen aufgewachsen) Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: 24149 Kiel (Schleswig-Holstein) Pauli wurde ursprünglich über einen Tierschutzverein nach Deutschland vermittelt, der in Rumänien tätig war. Leider gibt es diesen Verein nicht mehr. Daher hat uns die Familie um Hilfe gebeten, für den Rüden ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Pauli ist ein kluger, extrem loyaler und liebevoller Hund – wenn er in der richtigen Umgebung ist. Hat er bei seinen Bezugspersonen Vertrauen gefasst, ist er ein absoluter Kuschelbär. Er lernt gerne, läuft toll an der Leine, kennt Grundkommandos und versteht sich inzwischen super mit anderen Hunden. Warum sucht Pauli ein neues Zuhause? Pauli lebt aktuell in einem gemeinschaftlichen Wohnprojekt mit einem zweijährigen Kleinkind. Dieser ständige Trubel, unvorhersehbare Geräusche und die stetige Dynamik überfordern ihn maßlos. Er ist dauerhaft gestresst und reizüberflutet, was aus der schieren Not heraus leider bereits zu Übersprungshandlungen geführt hat. Er braucht dringend eine Umgebung, in der er wieder durchatmen kann. Ein reizarmes, ruhiges Zuhause (sehr gerne ländlich oder mit Garten). Souveräne, geduldige Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit und klare Strukturen geben. Keine kleinen Kinder und keine hektische Stadtumgebung. Wer gibt diesem tollen, aber verunsicherten Kerl die Chance, endlich zur Ruhe zu kommen? Bei Interesse bitte DIREKT mit den jetzigen Besitzern Kontakt aufnehmen:

About Pauli

What life with Pauli looks like

Pauli is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
