How do I contact the shelter about Serghei (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 Serghei (m) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Serghei (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 Serghei (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 Serghei (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 Serghei (m) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt Serghei (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

This is our Serghei, unfortunately a problem dog. That's why he lived on a chain until recently (May 15), as he is absolutely incompatible with other dogs and can only be cared for by a special caregiver. We don't know what happened to Serghei that made him this way. But he deserves a life as beautiful as possible, and therefore he was allowed to move into his own enclosure. Serghei is about 5 years old and around 45 cm tall. Serghei has experienced a lot. On one hand, he was trained by a customs dog trainer, who managed to get Serghei to allow the caregivers to touch him and even walk on a leash. And he could move into an enclosure with several other dogs and was completely unobtrusive there. Then he also suffered a stroke, from which he only slowly recovered (never fully, but he can walk again). Due to this, he became the "victim" in that enclosure and had to move out again and now has a hut on the premises, always under the watchful eye of the caregivers.

Das ist unser Serghei, leider ein Problemhund. Deshalb lebte er bis vor kurzem (Mai 15) auch noch an der Kette, denn er ist absolut unverträglich mit anderen Hunden und es darf auch nur ein spezieller Pfleger zu ihm. Wir wissen nicht, was mit Serghei passiert ist, dass er so wurde. Aber auch er hat es verdient, dass sein Leben so schön wie möglich wird und daher durfte er jetzt in sein eigenes Gehege umziehen. Serghei ist ca. 5 Jahre alt und um die 45 cm groß. Serghei hat viel inzwischen erlebt. Zum einen wurde er von einem Hundetrainer vom Zoll trainiert, der es fertig gebracht hat, dass Serghei sich von den Pflegern anfassen ließ und sogar an der Leine spazieren ging. Und er konnte in ein Gehege mit mehreren Hunden ziehen und war dort absolut unauffällig. Dann hat er auch noch einen Schlaganfall erlitten, von dem er sich nur sehr langsam erholte (nie mehr ganz, aber er kann wieder laufen). Dadurch war er aber leider das “Opfer” in dem Gehege und er musste wieder ausziehen und hat jetzt eine Hütte auf dem Gelände, immer im Auge der Pfleger.

About Serghei (m)

What life with Serghei (m) looks like

Serghei (m) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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.
