Adopt Avignon

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 4 years

Avignon wurde von einer anderen Organisation übernommen, zuvor war er auf der Straße heimatlos unterwegs. Über seine weitere Vorgeschichte wissen wir bisher leider nichts. Heute wartet er in unserem Partnertierheim Allatbarat in Ungarn auf seine Menschen. Avignon ist ein lieber, kontaktfreudiger sowie aufgeschlossener Dackel, der sofort Kontakt zum Menschen aufnimmt. Er freut sich über Streicheleinheiten und hätte gerne eine feste Bezugsperson, mit der er zukünftig gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen könnte.Ebenso zeigt er sich interessiert an seiner Umgebung, ist neugierig auf alles, was um ihn herum passiert. In seinem neuen Zuhause muss Avignon noch lernen. Das Hunde-ABC, Alltagsroutinen und das Leben als Familienhund stehen noch auf seiner To-do-Liste.Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich und zeigt sich im Umgang unkompliziert. Zudem lebt er problemlos in einer gemischten Gruppe. Für Avignon suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die die Bedürfnisse eines Dackels verstehen und Freude daran haben, ihn körperlich und geistig auszulasten. Menschen, die ihm die Welt zeigen, ihn fördern und ihm gleichzeitig die Geborgenheit einer Familie schenken. Avignon wünscht sich ein glückliches und abwechslungsreiches Dackelleben mit vielen gemeinsamen Unternehmungen, spannenden Entdeckungstouren und natürlich ganz viel Familienanschluss.

About Avignon

What life with Avignon looks like

Avignon is a small adult dachshund dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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 Avignon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Avignon?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Avignon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Avignon if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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 Avignon 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 Avignon 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 Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Avignon 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.
