Adopt Christine

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

In March 2023, we managed to save six sows from being slaughtered once again. I, the Christine with the totally touching gaze, was one of the lucky ones. I could be relieved, because nowadays in all large slaughterhouses, the pigs are rendered unconscious with CO2 gas. We are driven into groups into a kind of "gondola," which is then lowered into a pit filled with CO2. With our very sensitive snouts, we immediately detect the gas. Our mucous membranes are moist, so the gas turns into carbonic acid and causes stinging pain. It takes up to 30 seconds until we lose consciousness. During this time, we experience suffocation, trying desperately to escape. The pit is filled with our desperate cries…. Regularly increased amounts of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline are detected in pork, which the human consumes…. The pigs we have saved can now enjoy their lives here, I live together with Paul 3, a half-wool pig. Would you like to take a sponsorship for me? That would be great. Already with 15 € monthly, this is possible. Now fill out the sponsorship agreement.

Im März 2023 konnten wir noch einmal sechs Sauen vor der Schlachtung bewahren. Ich, die Christine mit dem total rührenden Blick, war eine der Glücklichen. Konnte heilfroh sein, denn heutzutage werden in allen großen Schlachthöfen die Schweine mit CO 2-Gas betäubt. Wir werden in Gruppen in eine Art „Gondel“ getrieben, die anschließend in eine mit CO 2 gefüllte Grube herabgelassen wird. Mit unseren sehr empfindlichen Rüsseln nehmen wir sofort das Gas wahr. Unsere Schleimhäute sind feucht, deshalb wird das Gas darauf zu Kohlensäure und verursacht stechende Schmerzen. Bis zu 30 Sekunden dauert es, bis wir das Bewusstsein verlieren. In dieser Zeit erleiden wir Erstickungsanfälle, versuchen panisch, zu fliehen. Die Grube ist erfüllt von unseren verzweifelten Schreien….In Schweinefleisch werden regelmäßig erhöhte Mengen der Stresshormone Adrenalin und Noradrenalin festgestellt, diese isst der Mensch mit…. Wir geretteten Schweine dürfen nun hier unser Leben genießen, ich lebe zusammen mit Paul 3, einem Halbwollschwein. Möchtest Du eine Patenschaft für mich übernehmen? Das wäre toll. Schon mit 15 € monatlich ist das möglich. Jetzt Patenschaftserklärung ausfüllen.

About Christine

What life with Christine looks like

Christine is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Christine far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Christine, answered.

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