Alvin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Alvin, Simon & Theodore were surrendered to the Püspökladány shelter at just 6 weeks old. We suspect they were either a litter of puppies that were either abandoned or culled by the breeder. The person who surrendered them said they were "found". Our team has spent the last few weeks nursing the three little rascals back to health, providing medical care and vaccinations so they are now ready for their forever homes. We don't know their exact breed mix, but they could be Pomchis, a mix of Pomeranian and Chihuahua. Alvin is the largest of the three. He is fascinated by water and loves to splash around in the dog pool or water bowl. He is very curious about everything and everyone, and explores his environment in a typical puppy-like way. Having grown up in our Pomeranian rescue, he has had many positive experiences with people. Children should be at least in elementary school age and have experience with dogs. He enjoys being petted and is easy to pick up. However, he also tests his boundaries, as is typical for young dogs: nothing is safe from his little piranha teeth. He also plays the most physically out of the three. His new owners should be prepared for the fact that the little troublemaker still has a lot to learn. They should have the time, financial resources and mental energy for a puppy. The little puppy is fearless, loving and open, like his brothers. We can imagine him in different family constellations. His owners should thoroughly research the breed mix and potential health problems, as both Pomeranians and Chihuahuas are often bred for extreme physical characteristics. Alvin is a real diamond in the rough, who can become a wonderful companion in the right environment. We hope he finds the right people who will raise him and give him a loving, appropriate home. Alvin can leave in August. Want to adopt Alvin? Just fill out the application form! NOTE: All dogs are being placed simultaneously by the German and Hungarian teams. Reservations can be made on both sides.

Alvin, Simon & Theodore wurden mit nur 6 Wochen im Shelter in Püspökladány abgegeben. Wir vermuten, dass sie entweder ein Ups-Wurf waren oder vom Vermehrer aussortiert wurden. Die Person, die sie im Shelter abgegeben hatte, hat sie „gefunden“. Unser Team verbrachte die letzten Wochen damit, die drei Wirbelwinde aufzupäppeln und medizinisch soweit zu versorgen und durchzuimpfen, dass sie nun bald bereit für ihr eigenes Zuhause sind. Welche Rassen genau in ihnen stecken wissen wir natürlich nicht mit absoluter Sicherheit, aber rein optisch könnte es sich bei den Dreien um Pomchis, also einer Mischung aus Zwergspitz & Chihuahua handeln. Alvin ist der Größte der Drei. Er ist sehr fasziniert von Wasser und plätschert gern im Hundepool oder dem Wassernapf. Er findet alles und jeden super interessant und erkundet welpentypisch neugierig seine Umwelt. Da er in unserer Spitzrettung aufwachsen durfte, hat er viele positive Erfahrungen mit Menschen gesammelt. Kinder sollten trotzdem mind. im Grundschulalter sein und Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Er mag es gestreichelt zu werden und lässt sich auch problemlos hochheben. Typisch Junghund testet er aber auch seine Grenzen: nichts ist vor den kleinen Piranhazähnchen sicher. Zudem spielt er von allen Dreien am körperlichsten. Seine neuen Besitzer sollten sich deshalb darauf einstellen, dass der kleine Raufbold noch einiges lernen muss. Sie sollten also die zeitlichen, finanziellen und mentalen Ressourcen für einen Welpen mitbringen. Der kleine Welpe ist wie seine Brüder unerschrocken, lieb und offen. Wir können ihn uns in verschiedenen Familienkonstellationen vorstellen. Seine Besitzer sollten sich intensiv mit der Rassekombination und den potenziellen gesundheitlichen Problemen auseinandersetzen, da sowohl der Zwergspitz, als auch der Chihuahua Qualzuchten sind. Alvin ist ein echter Rohdiamant, der im richtigen Umfeld ein ganz wundervoller Begleiter werden kann. Wir hoffen sehr, dass er die richtigen Menschen findet, die ihn erziehen und ihm ein liebevolles, artgerechtes Zuhause schenken wollen. Alvin kann ab August ausreisen. Du möchtest Alvin adoptieren? Dann fülle einfach das Bewerbungsformular aus! HINWEIS: Alle Hunde werden zeitgleich durch das deutsche & ungarische Team vermittelt. Auf beiden Seiten kann es zu Reservierungen kommen.

About Alvin

What life with Alvin looks like

Alvin is a very small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Spitz und Pawtners e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alvin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alvin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Spitz und Pawtners e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alvin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alvin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Spitz und Pawtners 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alvin 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 Alvin 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 Spitz und Pawtners e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alvin 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.
