Adopt Happy 2

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

I am a very lively piggy with a brown and a blue eye, and one of a total of 18 pig mamas. We found a home at Schutzengel für Tiere in 2021. In 2023, alone in Germany, around 43.8 million pigs were slaughtered. A gruesome number. However, there is an downward trend in meat consumption and –production in Germany. In 2022, 752.5 million "useful animals" were slaughtered for food production, a decrease of 5.5 million animals compared to 2021. Meat production is also decreasing in the EU. In 2022, it was at 41.3 million tons of beef, pork, mutton, and poultry. Compared to the previous year, that is 3.4% less. Worldwide, however, meat consumption is unfortunately increasing, with the total amount of meat produced increasing by 100 million tons compared to 2000, and in 2023, it was around 363.9 million tons. If pigs are lucky enough to be saved from slaughter, monthly pension costs of around 80 € must be covered by sponsorships. In March 2023, I was spared the slaughterhouse and instead went to the foster home Erflinghausen of Schutzengel für Tiere in the Hochsauerland and enjoy my life in a nice straw stable. Would you like to take on a sponsorship? That would be great, it is already possible from 15 € per month. Now fill out the sponsorship declaration.

Ich bin eine sehr lebensfrohe Schweinedame mit einem braunen und einem blauen Auge und eine von insgesamt 18 Schweinemamas, die seit 2021 ein Zuhause bei Schutzengel für Tiere gefunden haben. 2023 wurden allein in Deutschland rund 43,8 Millionen Schweine geschlachtet. Eine gruselige Zahl. Allerdings gibt es in Deutschland einen Abwärtstrend bei Fleischverzehr und –produktion. 2022 wurden 752,5 Millionen „Nutztiere“ für die Lebensmittelproduktion geschlachtet, immerhin 5,5 Millionen Tiere weniger als 2021. Auch EU-weit sinkt die Fleischproduktion. Im Jahr 2022 lag sie bei 41,3 Millionen Tonnen Rind-, Schweine-, Schaf- und Vogelfleisch. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr sind das 3,4 % weniger. Weltweit betrachtet steigt der Fleischkonsum allerdings leider an, im Vergleich zum Jahr 2000 vergrößerte sich die insgesamt produzierte Menge an Fleisch um 100 Millionen Tonnen und betrug 2023 rund 363,9 Millionen Tonnen. Wenn Schweine das Glück haben, vor der Schlachtung gerettet zu werden, fallen monatlich rund 80 € Pensionskosten an, die durch Patenschaften finanziert werden müssen. Ich durfte im März 2023 statt zum Schlachthof in die Pflegestelle Erflinghausen von Schutzengel für Tiere im Hochsauerland fahren und genieße mein Leben in einem schönen Strohstall. Möchtest Du eine Patenschaft übernehmen? Das wäre toll, ist schon ab 15 € monatlich möglich. Jetzt Patenschaftserklärung ausfüllen.

About Happy 2

What life with Happy 2 looks like

Happy 2 is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Happy 2 far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Happy 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Happy 2?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Happy 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Happy 2 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schutzengel für Tiere 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 Happy 2 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Happy 2 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Happy 2 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.
