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

Can I adopt Xavier (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 Xavier (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 Xavier (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 Xavier (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.

Xavier (m)

Mixed Breed · Male

Xavier is a charming and adorable little dog who will melt your heart. He's about 30 cm tall, estimated to have been born in 2024, and lives at the ADOR animal shelter in Botoșani, Romania. Xavier is a dog you can't help but love. He approaches people openly and friendly, genuinely liking everyone he meets. Whether it's strangers, his caregivers, or workers who regularly visit the premises, Xavier greets them all with good humor and his wagging tail. He has no fear of touch. While Xavier isn't a deep thinker or strategist, he is one of those dogs that goes through life with charm. Always friendly, always in high spirits, always busy doing something. Sometimes he sniffs around the premises out of curiosity, sometimes he checks things over, and sometimes he hopes for some treats to fall from somewhere. He particularly enjoys hanging around the laundry room. That's where the staff often take their lunch breaks or eat a piece of cake – and Xavier has long since figured out that sometimes something falls on the floor. 😄 When nothing exciting is happening, he also likes to lie in the laundry room relaxed and content, observing what's going on. Despite his need for human interaction, Xavier can also entertain himself. He doesn't always need to be the center of attention or cling to people; instead, he enjoys exploring his surroundings independently and simply enjoying life. Xavier gets along well with the other dogs at the shelter. A cat test is possible if you are serious about adopting him. We wish for this uncomplicated little dog full of good humor a home that loves him just as he is: friendly, charming, carefree, and always with a smile on his face. ℹ️ Xavier has been neutered, vaccinated multiple times, dewormed, microchipped, and holds an EU pet passport.

Klein, kompakt, charmant und einfach nur zuckersüß – das ist unser Xavier. ❤️ Der kleine Rüde ist etwa 30 cm groß, wurde geschätzt 2024 geboren und lebt aktuell im privaten Tierheim des Vereins ADOR in Botoșani, Rumänien. Xavier ist ein Hund, den man einfach gernhaben muss. Er geht offen und freundlich auf alle Menschen zu und scheint wirklich jeden zu mögen. Ob fremde Besucher, seine Pfleger oder die Arbeiter, die regelmäßig auf das Gelände kommen – Xavier begrüßt alle mit guter Laune und seinem fröhlich wedelnden Schwänzchen. Berührungsängste kennt er nicht. Dabei ist Xavier kein großer Denker oder Stratege. Er gehört eher zu den Hunden, die mit ihrem Charme durchs Leben gehen. Immer freundlich, immer gut gelaunt, immer irgendwo beschäftigt. Mal schnuppert er neugierig über das Gelände, mal schaut er nach dem Rechten und mal hofft er, dass irgendwo ein Leckerchen für ihn abfällt. Besonders gerne hält er sich in der Nähe der Waschkammer auf. Dort machen die Mitarbeiterinnen oft ihre Mittagspause oder essen ein Stück Kuchen – und Xavier hat natürlich längst herausgefunden, dass dabei manchmal etwas auf den Boden fällt. 😄 Wenn gerade nichts Spannendes passiert, liegt er aber auch gerne ganz entspannt und zufrieden in der Waschkammer und beobachtet das Geschehen. Trotz seiner Menschenbezogenheit kann Xavier sich auch gut selbst beschäftigen. Er muss nicht ständig im Mittelpunkt stehen oder am Menschen kleben, sondern erkundet gerne eigenständig seine Umgebung und genießt einfach das Leben. Mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim zeigt sich Xavier durchweg verträglich. Ein Katzentest kann bei ernsthaftem Interesse selbstverständlich durchgeführt werden. Für diesen unkomplizierten kleinen Gute-Laune-Hund wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das ihn genauso liebt, wie er ist: freundlich, charmant, unbeschwert und immer mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht. ℹ️ XAVIER ist kastriert, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und natürlich im Besitz eines EU-Ausweises. —————- 📌

About Xavier (m)

What life with Xavier (m) looks like

Xavier (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.
