How do I contact the shelter about Filippo?

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

Can I adopt Filippo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier 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 Filippo 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 Filippo 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 ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filippo 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.

Filippo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Our partner Sandra is already known for helping animals in need in her surroundings. So now also for this little dog senior. Filippo used to have a family, but when the owner passed away, the rest of the family didn't want to keep the little dog anymore. This is so sad for Filippo, who was completely withdrawn and insecure with Sandra in the first days, simply unable to understand what was happening to him. However, he has adapted quite well now, and he is well cared for by Sandra. But of course, it is not a substitute for a family. We now want to help Filippo leave the shelter as soon as possible and travel to Germany. It would be wonderful if he could move directly into his final family without an additional stop at a foster family. Does the nice Filippo, who was so unceremoniously dismissed, touch your heart? Would you like to take him into your family and give him new joy in life? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption means not only a lot of joy but also work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide nationwide support.

Unsere Partnerin Sandra ist in ihrem Umfeld schon dafür bekannt, dass sie Tieren in Not hilft. So nun auch bei diesem kleinen Hundesenior. Filippo hatte mal eine Familie, aber als der Besitzer starb, wollte der Rest der Familie den kleinen Hund nicht mehr behalten. Das ist so traurig für Filippo, der in den ersten Tagen bei Sandra auch völlig in sich gekehrt und unsicher war, weil er einfach nicht einordnen konnte, was da mit ihm geschehen war.Inzwischen hat er sich allerdings recht gut eingelebt, er wird bei Sandra auch gut versorgt. Aber ein Ersatz für eine Familie ist es dort natürlich nicht.Wir möchten Filippo nun aber helfen, so schnell wie möglich die Pension verlassen und nach Deutschland reisen zu können. Es wäre schön, wenn er ohne einen weiteren Umweg über eine Pflegefamilie direkt bei seiner endgültigen Familie einziehen könnte. Rührt der nette Filippo, der so lieblos abgeschoben worden war, Ihr Herz?Möchten Sie ihn in Ihre Familie aufnehmen und ihm neue Lebensfreude.Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur viel Freude bedeutet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht.Â Wir vermitteln bundesweit.

About Filippo

What life with Filippo looks like

Filippo is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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.
