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

Can I adopt Smiley (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 Smiley (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 Smiley (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 Smiley (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.

Smiley (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

When we were introduced to the little SMILEY, it was immediately clear that he needed to be rescued quickly. Clingy and completely exhausted, he snuggled up to the caretaker in hope of rescue. But the rescue didn't come – unfortunately, he had to be left in the enclosure. His radiant smile has been etched in our memory, and we want to help him! Hang in there, little man. We will make him visible and find the perfect family for him, we promise. SMILEY is approximately 5-6 years old, about 35 cm tall, very loving, people-oriented, and well-tempered with his fellow animals; he could potentially also make a great second dog. DO YOU HAVE A Spot in your heart for the little man??? Then contact us quickly. SMILEY will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and will leave for the Mediterranean test and EU Pass. He will be rehomed by V. Contact: or on fb All our dogs come to Pottenstein 91278 and are also happy to be picked up here. All our dogs travel with official trace papers and of course, we also have Paragraph 11.

Als uns der kleine SMILEY vorgestelle wurde, war sofort klar, er muss da schnellstens raus. Rappeldürr und völlig erschöpft hat er sich an die Plfegerin geschmiegt , in der Hoffnung auf Rettung. Aber Die Rettung kam nicht – leider musste sie ihn im Zwinger zurück lassen. Sein strahelndes Lächeln hat sich in unser Gedächtnis gebrannt, wir möchten ihm unbedingt helfen! Halte durch, kleiner Mann. Wir machen Dich sichtbar und wir suchen die tollste Familie für Dich, versprochen. SMILEY ist ca. 5-6 Jahre alt, um ± 35 cm klein, sehr lieb, menschenbezogen und gut verträglich mit seinen Artgenossen, er könnte demnach auch gut Zweithund werden. Hast DU ein Plätzchen im Herzen frei für den kleinen Mann??? Dann melde Dich schnell bei uns. SMILEY wird Rumänien kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit Mittelmeertest und EU-Pass verlassen.

About Smiley (m)

What life with Smiley (m) looks like

Smiley (m) is a small 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. 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.
