Adopt Felipe

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Background Lovingly called "Pipe," our Felipe came to the shelter in La Gomera with two other dogs after being seized. This handsome dog is extremely affectionate, sweet, cuddly, and playful. He has a lot of potential, and we are confident that he will be a wonderful addition to any future family that adopts him. That's exactly what we are looking for now. Like all the dogs we place in Germany, Felipe will be thoroughly medically checked, vaccinated, and microchipped before embarking on his journey to a new life.

Vorgeschichte Liebevoll "Pipe" genannt, kam unser Felipe mit zwei weiteren Hunden ins Shelter von La Gomera, weil er beschlagnahmt worden war. Der hübsche Hundemann ist total lieb, süß, verschmust und verspielt. In ihm steckt sehr viel Potenzial und wir sind uns sicher, dass er eine Bereicherung für jede zukünftige Familie ist, die ihn adoptieren wird. Und nach genau dieser suchen wir jetzt. Wie alle Hunde, die wir nach Deutschland vermitteln, wird auch Felipe medizinisch durchgecheckt, geimpft und gechipt sein, bevor er seine Reise in ein neues Leben antritt.

About Felipe

What life with Felipe looks like

Felipe is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Garafia e.V. in Germany.

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 Felipe, answered.

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