Rafael is housed at the Swiss Ranch. We provide placement assistance for the Tierschutz-Zentrum/Swiss Ranch. Rafael's care costs an average of 100.00 € per month, and we are looking for sponsors. For 2026, monthly coverage from sponsors is: Frau T. D. 50.00 € Fam. M. und M. S. 50.00 € One-time donations: 0.00 € Total so far: 300.00 € ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Current Description May 2025: Rafael – A Heart Searching for Trust Rafael and three of his companions came into the care of the Tierschutz-Zentrum as part of an official seizure. They were rescued from a house where fifteen dogs were confined in cramped quarters, barely surviving. A life without daylight, without fresh air, without love – and above all: without contact with the outside world. They knew nothing but each other. No new sounds, no unfamiliar smells, no friendly hands. Their small, dreary world ended at four bare walls. Rafael is the most sensitive of them all. He still fears many things that are second nature to other dogs: sudden movements, unfamiliar sounds – yes, even the open sky frightens him. If it were up to him, he would gladly retreat to a quiet, dark corner, far away from anything that unsettles him. And yet, he is beginning – very slowly – to build trust. A first, tiny step: he already takes food from a hand. Touch, however, still scares him. For Rafael, this is a huge leap forward – the beginning of a journey whose most important companion is patience. Rafael's world is still full of uncertainty and fear. He cannot be pushed. Anyone who wants to win his heart needs a deep understanding of how difficult every small step is for him. He needs a person who doesn't demand, but understands. Who doesn't expect, but gives. Someone who shows him that this world isn't made up of fear alone – but also of security, tenderness, and love. Perhaps a long road still lies ahead of him. But in the right hands, Rafael will one day learn that life can be beautiful. And when he truly trusts – his love and loyalty will become one of the most precious gifts one can imagine. *Should more donations be received than stated, they will be used for the organization's purposes.

Rafael ist auf der Swiss Ranch untergebracht. Wir leisten Vermittlungshilfe f�r das Tierschutz-Zentrum/Swiss Ranch. Die Versorgung von Rafael kostet durchschnittlich im Monat 100,00 �, daf�r suchen wir Paten. F�r 2026 sind monatlich durch Paten abgedeckt: Frau T. D. 50,00 � Fam. M. und M. S. 50,00 � Einmalspenden: 0,- � Insgesamt bisher: 300,00 � ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aktuelle Beschreibung Mai 2025: Rafael � Ein Herz auf der Suche nach Vertrauen Rafael und drei seiner Gef�hrten kamen im Rahmen einer beh�rdlichen Beschlagnahmung in die Obhut des Tierschutz-Zentrums. Sie wurden aus einem Haus befreit, in dem f�nfzehn Hunde auf engstem Raum eingesperrt ihr Dasein fristeten. Ein Leben ohne Tageslicht, ohne frische Luft, ohne Liebe � und vor allem: ohne Kontakt zur Au�enwelt. Sie kannten nichts au�er sich selbst. Keine neuen Ger�usche, keine fremden Ger�che, keine freundlichen H�nde. Ihre kleine, triste Welt endete an vier kahlen W�nden. Rafael ist von ihnen der Sensibelste. Noch immer f�rchtet er sich vor vielem, was f�r andere Hunde selbstverst�ndlich ist: schnelle Bewegungen, unbekannte Ger�usche � ja, sogar der offene Himmel bereitet ihm Angst. Wenn es nach ihm ginge, w�rde er sich am liebsten in einen stillen, dunklen Winkel zur�ckziehen, fernab von allem, was ihn verunsichert. Und doch beginnt er � ganz langsam � Vertrauen zu fassen. Ein erster, winzig kleiner Schritt: Er nimmt bereits Futter aus der Hand. Ber�hrungen aber machen ihm noch Angst. F�r Rafael ist das ein riesiger Fortschritt � der Beginn einer Reise, deren wichtigster Begleiter Geduld hei�t. Rafaels Welt ist noch immer voller Unsicherheit und Furcht. Ihn kann man nicht dr�ngen. Wer sein Herz gewinnen will, braucht ein gro�es Verst�ndnis daf�r, wie schwer jeder kleine Schritt f�r ihn ist. Er braucht einen Menschen, der nicht fordert, sondern versteht. Der nicht erwartet, sondern gibt. Einen Menschen, der ihm zeigt, dass diese Welt nicht nur aus Angst besteht � sondern auch aus Geborgenheit, Z�rtlichkeit und Liebe. Vielleicht liegt noch ein weiter Weg vor ihm. Aber in den richtigen H�nden wird auch Rafael irgendwann lernen, dass das Leben sch�n sein kann. Und wenn er eines Tages wirklich vertraut � dann wird seine Liebe und Treue zu einem der wertvollsten Geschenke, die man sich vorstellen kann. *Sollten mehr Spenden als angegeben eingehen, werden diese zu Vereinszwecken genutzt.

About Bitte spenden Sie hier

What life with Bitte spenden Sie hier looks like

Bitte spenden Sie hier is a very small adult dachshund dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe-Ungarn e.V. in Schnarup-Thumby.

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 Bitte spenden Sie hier, answered.

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