Espigo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Hello, I am Espigo. I haven't been here at our shelter for very long, and so some things still unsettle me a bit. I prefer to keep my distance with strangers. But with the people I trust, I have no problems. I am a bit suspicious of men, though. I can also be a bit feisty, which is why my new masters or mistresses should definitely take me to the dog training classes. In my past, I haven't learned much, but I have already learned to walk on a leash. I do this very well and enjoy it. Please come to the animal shelter and get to know me.

Hallo, ich bin der Espigo. Ich bin noch nicht lange hier im Tierheim und so manche Sachen verunsichern mich etwas. Bei fremden Menschen gehe ich lieber auf Abstand. Von mir vertrauten Menschen lasse ich mich ohne Probleme handeln. Bei Männern bin ich aber doch etwas misstrauisch. Ich kann auch mal frech werden, deswegen sollten meine neuen Herrchen oder Frauchen unbedingt mit mir in die Hundeschule gehen. Ich habe in meiner Vergangenheit nicht viel kennengelernt, das muss mir alles noch gezeigt werden. Aber ich habe schon gelernt, an der Leine zu laufen. Das mache ich schon sehr gut und auch gerne. Bitte, meldet euch doch im Tierheim und lernt mich kennen. Euer Espigo

About Espigo

What life with Espigo looks like

Espigo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Espigo, answered.

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