Chihuahua · Male

Compatibility: Compatible with other dogs; cats: unknown, can be tested Current location: Animal shelter Hajdúböszörmény (Hungary) Reason for adoption: Comes from poor conditions This small, neutered Chihuahua mix male was brought to our shelter with the support of the police. The many changes have made him very uncertain at first, and he is currently still frightened and needs time to gain trust. Despite his fear, there is a loving little dog in him who longs for security, security and a quiet home. We wish for him understanding people with patience and heart who give him the chance to arrive at his own pace and regain trust in life. Who would like to give this little treasure a new start? ❤️

Verträglichkeit: Verträglich mit anderen Hunden; Katzen: nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Hajdúböszörmény (Ungarn) Abgabegrund: Kommt aus schlechten Verhältnissen Dieser kleine, kastrierte Chihuahua-Mischlingsrüde wurde mit Unterstützung der Polizei zu uns ins Tierheim gebracht. Die vielen Veränderungen haben ihn erstmal sehr verunsichert, und aktuell ist er noch verängstigt und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Trotz seiner Angst steckt in ihm ein liebevoller kleiner Hund, der sich nach Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und einem ruhigen Zuhause sehnt. Für ihn wünschen wir uns verständnisvolle Menschen mit Geduld und Herz, die ihm die Chance geben, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und wieder Vertrauen ins Leben zu finden. Wer möchte diesem kleinen Schatz einen Neuanfang schenken? ❤️

About Moon

What life with Moon looks like

Moon is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Moon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Moon?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Moon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Moon if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Moon 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 Moon 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Moon 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.
