Chipper

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Chipper, born approximately 2023/2024, neutered, approximately 55-60 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 03/2026 Chipper is a lively Terrier mix full of energy and enthusiasm - qualities he can hardly live out in the shelter. He enjoys every opportunity to discover the world outside his kennel. Chipper is very friendly and affectionate towards people. He loves attention and affection and really flourishes in the presence of his caregivers. On his first walk, he showed joy and enthusiasm, which is hardly seen in his daily life in the shelter. Curious, he explored his surroundings, sniffed interested and had a lot of fun being on the move. Chipper accepted wearing a harness from the start without any problems, and walking on a leash worked surprisingly well already. Of course, there is still a lot to learn, but he brings the best prerequisites for it. Currently, Chipper lives together with his Terrier mix friend separated from the other dogs. He is quickly stressed in a larger dog group, which led to conflicts in the past. Chipper has little sense of how much distance he should keep from other dogs. The current situation is noticeable and he is visibly stressed in the shelter, as can be seen in the video. Therefore, he urgently needs his own home, where he can be physically and mentally exhausted and finally get the chance to calm down. When meeting new dogs, Chipper is initially somewhat skeptical. Once he has gained trust, he likes to orientate himself towards his four-legged counterpart and gains security from it. Chipper is looking for people who can channel his energy in the right direction, give him patience and security and show him how beautiful a dog life can be. Then he will develop into a loyal, cheerful and loving companion. Is currently in Romania and may leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

06/2026 Chipper, geboren ca. 2023/2024, kastriert, ca. 55-60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 03/2026 Chipper ist ein lebhafter Terrier-Mix voller Energie und Tatendrang – Eigenschaften, die er im Shelter leider kaum ausleben kann. Umso mehr genießt er jede Gelegenheit, die Welt außerhalb seines Zwingers zu entdecken. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Chipper sehr freundlich und verschmust. Er liebt Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten und blüht in der Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen richtig auf. Bei seinem ersten Spaziergang zeigte er Lebensfreude und Begeisterung, die man ihm im Shelteralltag kaum ansieht. Neugierig erkundete er seine Umgebung, schnupperte interessiert und hatte sichtlich Spaß daran unterwegs zu sein. Das Tragen eines Geschirrs akzeptierte Chipper von Anfang an problemlos, und auch das Laufen an der Leine funktionierte bereits erstaunlich gut. Natürlich gibt es noch vieles zu lernen, doch er bringt dafür beste Voraussetzungen mit. Aktuell lebt Chipper gemeinsam mit seiner Terrier-Mix-Freundin getrennt von den anderen Hunden. In einer größeren Hundegruppe ist er schnell gestresst, wodurch es in der Vergangenheit häufiger zu Konflikten kam. Chipper hat wenig Gefühl dafür, wie viel Distanz er zu anderen Hunden bewahren sollte. Die derzeitige Situation belastet ihn spürbar und er ist im Shelter, wie in dem Video zu erkennen, sichtlich gestresst. Daher sucht er dringend ein eigenes Zuhause, in dem er körperlich und geistig ausgelastet werden kann und endlich die Möglichkeit bekommt, zur Ruhe zu kommen. Bei neuen Hundebegegnungen zeigt sich Chipper zunächst etwas skeptisch. Hat er jedoch Vertrauen gefasst, orientiert er sich gerne an seinem vierbeinigen Gegenüber und gewinnt dadurch Sicherheit. Chipper sucht Menschen, die seine Energie in die richtigen Bahnen lenken, ihm Geduld und Sicherheit schenken und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Dann wird er sich zu einem treuen, fröhlichen und liebevollen Begleiter entwickeln. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Chipper

What life with Chipper looks like

Chipper is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chipper, answered.

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