Adopt Cheppi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Cheppi is almost 1.5 years old. When he rests or is extremely stressed, he gasps for breath and makes noises like a little puppy. So far, it hasn't been determined what causes this. During the diagnosis, it was found that his ears are clogged due to pendulous ears. To prevent the eardrum from being affected, a ear tube insertion was already performed on his left ear. The right ear will be done soon. Cheppi is an energetic young man who has settled in well. His relationship with his partner is going well. He has handled veterinary visits well so far. This animal has a history of biting.

Cheppi ist fast 1,5 Jahre alt. Wenn er sich ausruht oder extrem gestresst ist, schnappt er nach Luft und macht Geräusche wie ein kleiner Welpe. Bisher konnte nicht festgestellt werden, woran dies liegt. Bei der Diagnostik wurde allerdings festgestellt, dass seine Ohren aufgrund der Hängeohren verstopft sind. Um zu vermeiden, dass das Trommelfell angegriffen wird, wurde bereits eine Gehörgangserweiterung am linken Ohr durchgeführt. Das rechte Ohr wird bald folgen. Cheppi ist ein aufgeweckter junger Mann, der sich gut eingelebt hat. Mit seiner Partnerin läuft es gut. Tierarztbesuche hat er bisher gut überstanden. Und einen Platz in meinem Herzen hat er sicher ❤

About Cheppi

What life with Cheppi looks like

Cheppi is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Porz in Köln.

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 Cheppi, answered.

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