How do I contact the shelter about Tessa (w)?

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 Tessa (w) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tessa (w) 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 Tessa (w) 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 Tessa (w) 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 Tessa (w) 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.

Tessa (w)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Tessa, a beautiful Shetland Sheepdog, was born on February 1, 2025, and weighs approximately 13.5 kg. She is about 45 cm tall and is currently in foster care in Nuremberg, Germany. Tessa was brought to her foster home from a public shelter in Botosani, Romania. She is friendly and affectionate but sometimes still unsure, especially around strangers. However, she has been learning quickly and is now comfortable walking on a leash, going to the bathroom outdoors, and navigating city traffic. She is also no longer afraid of stairs, elevators, or being alone when her owner goes shopping. Tessa loves other dogs and enjoys playing, but she needs time and patience to build trust, which is understandable after her time in the shelter. If you are looking for a beautiful, affectionate, and reliable companion, Tessa may be the perfect match for you. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and has passed Snap4D and EU health tests. She is also accompanied by an EU passport. Tessa is available for adoption through the Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. with a pre-check and contract. Contact information: or on Facebook.

auf Pflegestelle in 90473 Nürnberg Hier möchten wir Euch die hübsche Tessa vorstellen, geb. 01.02.25, ca. 45 cm und 13,5 kg schwer. Tessa kam aus dem öffentlichen Shetler in Botosani / Rumänien nach Nürnber in ihre Pflegestelle. Sie zeigt sich dort sehr freundlich und lieb, aber auch manchmal noch unsicher, gerade bei fremden Menschen. Tessa hat aber schon fleißig gelernt, sie läuft gut an der Leine , die Geschäfte werden draußen verrichtet und auch der Stadtverkehr ist kein Problem mehr. Treppen steigen und Aufzug Fahren sind kein Thema mehr, nauch mal alleine sein, wenn Frauchen einkaufen geht, ist für Tessa kein Stress mehr. Sie liebt andere Hunde, spielt sehr gerne, aber auch dazu muss man erst vertrauen haben, was nach dem Leben im Shelter ja völlig verständlich ist. Wer also eine bildschöne Maus mit Schnauzbart sucht und sich verliebt hat, ihr die nötige Zeit und Geduld schenkt bis sie vertrauen aufgebaut hat, wird eine liebevolle und zuverlässige Begleiterin an seiner Seite haben, die für Zuwendung und Streicheleinheiten sehr dankbar ist. Tessa wird kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit Snap4DTest und EU-Pass vermittelt. Sie wird mit Vorkontrolle und Vertrag über die Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt. Kontakt: oder auf fb. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Tracespapieren und natürlich haben wir auch

About Tessa (w)

What life with Tessa (w) looks like

Tessa (w) is a medium-sized 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.
