How do I contact the shelter about DON?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Peine handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DON on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt DON if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Peine 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 DON 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 DON 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 Tierheim Peine early rather than rehoming privately; they know DON 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.

DON

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Dog Shelter DON Born 01.05.2017. Gender: Male-neutered. Breed: Pitbull-Mix. Fur color: gray/white. Shoulder height: 65 cm. Weight: 40 kg. Dog-friendly: conditionally. Cat-friendly: no. Child-friendly: no. Beginner dog: no. Second dog: no. Stay alone: conditionally. Don was born on 01.05.2017 and is looking for dog and breed-experienced people who are willing to invest time and effort into him. He is a temperamental male dog with a strong prey drive and therefore cannot be rehomed to households with children or cats. Toys are taboo for Don, as he tends to defend and destroy them. He also tends to chase reflections and has a strong will. He goes on walks with other dogs, both male and female, but the sympathy is crucial. His stubbornness can be challenging, so it's important to be consistent and persistent to ensure a harmonious coexistence. If you have the necessary experience and patience, Don could be the right companion.

Hundehalle DON Geboren 01.05.2017. Geschlecht männlich-kast.Rasse Pitbull-MixFellfarbe grau/weißSchulterhöhe 65 cmGewicht40 kgHundeverträglich bedingtKatzenverträglich neinKinderverträglich neinAnfängerhund neinZweithund neinAlleine bleiben bedingt Don ist am 01.05.2017 geboren und sucht hunde- und rasseerfahrene Menschen, die bereit sind, Zeit und Arbeit in ihn zu investieren. Er ist ein temperamentvoller Rüde mit ausgeprägtem Jagdtrieb und wird daher nicht in Haushalte mit Kindern oder Katzen vermittelt. Spielzeuge sind bei Don tabu, da er dazu neigt, sie zu verteidigen und zu zerstören. Er tendiert zudem dazu Reflexionen zu jagen und hat einen starken Willen. Er geht hier mit anderen Hunden spazieren, sowohl mit Rüden als auch mit Hündinnen, wobei die Sympathie entscheidend ist. Sein Dickkopf kann manchmal herausfordernd sein, daher ist es wichtig, konsequent und durchsetzungsfähig zu sein, um ein harmonisches Zusammenleben zu gewährleisten. Wenn Sie die nötige Erfahrung und Geduld mitbringen, könnte Don der richtige Begleiter sein. zurück 26.

About DON

What life with DON looks like

DON is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Peine in Peine.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
