Adopt Troll (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

The poor troll was brought to our shelter by two women from Chisinau. They had seen him get hit by a car. For three days, they drove the long distance from Chisinau every day to try to catch him. He could only walk very poorly after the accident but was very afraid. The women were really great—something you don’t often see in this country—and didn’t give up. On the third day, they managed to catch him with a blanket and brought him to our Casa. He could barely walk on his hind legs. Our vet has been treating him daily, and now he can stand and walk on his hind legs again. He has certainly seen a lot and, as a result, is not yet very friendly with people at the moment. He is friendly with the other dogs in quarantine but retreats from people. We are very happy that the two women fought so hard for him, and he is now safe in the Casa. We hope that he will also learn to trust people again. He is estimated to be around 2 to 4 years old (12/20). Sponsors found! Many thanks.

Der arme Troll wurde uns von 2 Frauen ins Heim gebracht. Sie haben gesehen, wie er von einem Auto angefahren wurde. 3 Tage sind sie jeden Tag die weite Strecke von Chisinau gefahren und haben versucht, ihn zu fangen. Er konnte nur sehr schlecht nach dem Unfall laufen, aber er hatte Angst. Die Frauen waren wirklich toll – auch so etwas gibt es in diesem Land – und haben nicht aufgegeben. Am 3. Tag konnten sie ihn mit einer Decke fangen und haben ihn in unsere Casa gebracht. Er konnte hinten kaum laufen. Unser Arzt hat ihn täglich behandelt und inzwischen kann er hinten wieder stehen und auch etwas laufen. Er hat sicherlich vieles mitgemacht und daher ist er im Moment zumindest noch nicht gut auf die Menschen zu sprechen. Er ist lieb mit den anderen Hunden in der Quarantäne, aber vor Menschen weicht er zurück. Wir sind sehr froh, dass die beiden Frauen so um ihn gekämpft haben und er jetzt in der Casa sicher ist. Wir hoffen, dass er auch wieder lernt, den Menschen zu vertrauen. Er wird auf ca. 2 – 4 Jahre (12/20) geschätzt. Paten gefunden! Vielen Dank.

About Troll (m)

What life with Troll (m) looks like

Troll (m) is a 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Troll (m), answered.

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