Fipsi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Unser Fipsi ist ein etwa 12 Jahre alter Mischlingsrüde , der sich trotz seines Alters noch über Aufmerksamkeit, gemütliche Spaziergänge und ein weiches Körbchen freut. Der kleine Senior zeigt sich bei uns verträglich mit anderen Hunden . Altersbedingt bringt er natürlich ein paar kleine Baustellen mit: Er hat fast keine Zähne mehr und benötigt deshalb Nassfutter oder eingeweichtes Trockenfutter , womit er aber sehr gut zurechtkommt. Typisch älterer Rüde markiert Fipsi außerdem noch recht gerne – auch im Haus. Allerdings lässt er sich dabei gut unterbrechen oder „stören“ , wenn man aufmerksam ist. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten das mit Humor, Geduld und Verständnis sehen können. Für Fipsi wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit verbringen darf – ohne großen Trubel, aber mit ganz viel Liebe. Ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Verständnis für einen Seniorhund Nassfutter oder eingeweichtes Futter Gerne einen netten Hundekumpel Menschen mit Herz und Geduld

About Fipsi

What life with Fipsi looks like

Fipsi is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fipsi, answered.

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